I looked at several other cheap digital cameras before settling on the Casio z750 digital & chose it mainly because of the manual mode plus the 30 scene best shot mode, which I love dearly. One thing that I noticed is that some digital camera reviewers complain that the flash is only good for 4 metres. This Casio digital camera has fantastic manual options these include focus, shutter, ISO and aperture. I have taken digital pictures outside at night expecting to see nothing with no light at all from a distance of 10 meters, & the digital photos came out awsome. The Casio Exilim Ex-Z750 is a fantastic digital camera I use it everytime I can get the chance. One thing to note there have been people reporting on internet forums of a fault with the lense so look out for that. This cheap Casio digital camera was a great buy and I will definetly be looking out for the next edition in the line of Casio Digital Cameras
