"The QV-4000 is an excellent camera that yields 4-megapixel images that can go head to head with any other comparable digicam out there. The 'fit n finish' of the camera and its overall ergonomics are very good. It could use a beefier handgrip, an illuminated data LCD display, a microphone for audio with the movies and a dedicated exposure compensation button, it's too easy to bump the multi selector switch and accidentally set an EV override value by mistake. Otherwise I have no gripes about the design of the camera, the quality of the images or the rest of the controls or where they're placed. The color LCD (HAST type) on this camera is one of the best I've ever seen on any camera -- it's very high resolution with brilliant color and visible in all but "high noon" lighting environments. Casio has been building better and better cameras in the last couple of years and this one equals anything that the "camera" companies have showed us to date."
