The Casio EX-ZR100 is designed to replace a Canon Ixus 95 bought us since the Canon was much too slow! In terms of speed in our view still none at Casio ran - just great! The images themselves are in dummy / automatic mode well. The operation is quite simple with a little practice. Compared with other digicams but the Casio EX-ZR100 is one of the larger cameras and is only partially suitable for your pocket! We are satisfied and can recommend the camera!
