1. Introduction

With this new 4-megapixel prosumerdigital camera, Casio has done it again, packing more features than you can use with performance in a compact configuration. This feature-packed camera is easy to use, with a quality stainless steel construction, and ergonomic and stylish design. There are fully automatic modes for beginners, with manual options for those who would like more control. You can use SD memory card along with its built-in flash memory.

It fits easily into your pocket so you'd want to take it along to record just about anything, anytime, as I did. It's aimed at the person on the go, with new features such as "Coupling Shot" and "Pre-Shot.

A new LSI system provides fast shutter-release response of about 0.01 second.

The QV-R3 model is essentially the same camera, but with fewer effective pixels (3.20 million).
