    Sounds like a gimmick. Can someone say if ceramic is truly better than glass, or just better "in theory"?

    1024 x 768 is only 0.8 MP, not 3 MP.

    3 MP is more like 2048 x 1536.

    The image noise is probably more due to the ludicrously small CCD unit (4.54 x 3.42 mm) that Casio are using. As a comparison the 2.8 MP Nikon D1H uses a largish CCD of 23.7 x 15.5 mm and I know which one would give better photos, lenses notwithstanding.

    The ceramic lens would impact the sharpness of the photo more.

    If I point out that you are incorrect, making me a foe does not make you any more correct.

    Under 5 MP "barely acceptible" onscreen? What resolution is your monitor, 2560x1920? Somebody better tell Nikon to recall the D2H. If you're not getting excellent onscreen images and 300 dpi 4x6 prints out of 3 MP, it's not the megapixel count that's the problem.
