Casio QV-4000
The Casio QV-4000 appears conventional, and its designers took a few mental steps outside of the box. Serious photographers will appreciate the sharp-as-a-tack images, extensive user controls, and assortment of unique features, such as its soft-portrait and best-shot selector modes. But its heavy dependency on icons makes operating the camera unnecessarily complicated. A few finishing touches, like easier-to-turn control knobs, a separate OK button, an extended eyecup, and an accessory shoe would make for far smoother operation.
The QV-4000 offers a range of high-end features, from a high-speed, auto-focus zoom lens and five shooting modes (including full manual and 60-second time exposures) to five focus modes (like an easy-to-use movable-spot focus) and seven white-balance options. It can also record video clips until the memory card fills up (displaying a countdown in seconds) but not audio. Three metering modes, an external flash connector, automatic exposure bracketing, and a histogram round out the options.
