Basically, I had a Casio EX-S880. It took some great pictures, and I was also very impressed with the videos. But (and this is a big "but"), it flaked out and stopped working one day. The lens extended when I turned the camera on, it made a few noises, then retracted and turned off. I sent it to Casio and they "fixed" it under their 1 year warranty. It worked again for a month or so and the same problem popped up again. I sent it back because it was still about 7 months from the original purchase date, but they didn't honor it this time. They said it had a scratch on it that showed misuse - but it looked identical to the first time I sent it in. They offered to sell me a refurb model of the same camera for another $200. No way. Why would I pay another $200 for a camera that broke on me twice? I told them to send me back my broken camera.

I'm going to have to agree with Ryan... It would be interesting to see why I shouldn't go down the Casio route!!
