  1. This is bad? by stilist · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Since when is a 3.2 megapixel size bad, especially for a small digital camera? Guess I'm just behind the times...

  2. image noise by spacerodent · · Score: 4, Interesting

    they mention image noise several times in the article and act like it's isn't a big deal. If you can see image noise on a normal 3 megapixel image (assuming its somehwere around 1024x768 or greater) then its probally pretty bad. They mention it twice too. I wonder if it has anything to do with the ceramic lens which seems to be the only interesting thing about the camera. Otherwise it seems pretty average in about every category.

  3. Refractive index by LS · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Here's a picture of the lense. Apparently the cool thing about this lense is that it has a higher index of refraction, allowing it to be thinner and take less space, hence the slim profile of the casio.
