Warning about Casio camera's (EX-s500)

[Matt174e]

I was nearly going to purchase a casio camera, but read customer reviews about the "Lens Ring" falling off.

Shortly after I sent Casio an email concerning the claims. This is what I got back...



Turns out that it's true.
I don't know how common the problem is, but if it ever happens, you're screwed out of $200.

I think i'll get a Canon instead

Every Casio watch I've owned has broken. Just from that personal experience I wouldn't trust putting down that much cash on a digital camera by them.


Got me a Panasonic instead I'm lovin it right now.

I was shocked when I heard this about the Casio camera's. I always seen casio as in the same leauge as Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, etc...

I'm going to get a Canon SD600, that should keep my happy.

The only special thing about Casio cameras is that they have really, really good battery life.

can you elaborate on this problem? I have a S500 but haven't had any issues with things falling off.

[Anessa]

Is this the camera from the Hot Deals section that was from Costco? If the ring breaks then just return it and get full customer satisfaction.

I disagree!

LoL I can't believe you got that back as a response from Casio. Well, when I first read it, I thought it must've been coming from an international tech support department, but no, it's from some guy in Markham...or so says the signature haha

Fine art...bah

[bacid1]

that guy needs to take ESL lessons.

back to the original topic, ALL compact cameras have fragility problems.

canon has it's own share! do a search for E18 or cracked LCD on google.

i had a SD300 for over a year and never had issues, mind you i kept it in a case at all times
