Casio Exilim Z850 Camera

[machintos]

I had the EX-Z750 and the lens error was pissing me off!
Couldn't take pictures when I needed the camera most. Needless to say, I went back to Canon. I'm happy with my SD550 now.
I have to admit that my Casio took some good pictures and I would buy Casio again if they ever fix the error (maybe they have? I don't know.... I haven't been keeping up)

what's the best camera for movies? i want one that does mpeg4 divx like the newer pentax or casios. It needs to be fairly small and lightweight. I've read some reviews for the pentax that even though the movies were 30fps, they tend to be choppy. i'll be using it as a cheap camcorder for my 4 wheeling trips, mounted to the handlebars with a RAM mount. How's the video with the casio?

Cameras aren't made for movies. I'd get a camcorder. Even the bottom of the line $150 ones will be much better than any digicam movie mode.

Exactly, I couldn't agree more. No Point-&-Shoot digital camera should be used for a camcorder, especially not in that type of environment.

Maybe not, but it's nice to have that feature there for those moments when you want a quick video instead of just a picture. It's smaller than your traditional video camera, but takes decent video.
