Amazon.com Product Description
The Casio QV-3000 Plus digital camera is a 3.34-megapixel camera that offers still photos at 2,048 x 1,536 maximum resolution as well as 320 x 240 pixel movie-mode capabilities. It provides a 3x optical and 2x digital zoom lens, a 1.8-inch HAST LCD screen, and a cursor pad for user-friendly menu selection. Other features include auto or manual focus, autoexposure, auto white balance, a built-in quartz digital clock, an automatic four-mode flash with red-eye reduction, and nine special shooting modes.While all these features are fairly standard with similar high-end megapixel cameras from other manufacturers, what sets the Casio QV-3000 Plus apart from its peers is its memory storage capabilities. This camera offers CompactFlash card capability much like other digital imaging devices, but also supports IBM's Microdrive--the most powerful method of storing digital images to date. The Microdrive, which is included with the camera, offers an incredible 340 MB of memory. Users can snap up to 400 high-quality images or 19 minutes of 7-frame-per-second video without having to switch memory cards or download. One IBM Microdrive could replace over 11 rolls of film. This storage capacity makes it easy to use the QV-3000 Plus in situations where you'll be away from your computer for an extended time (such as while you're on vacation). The Casio QV-3000 Plus is USB compatible (although you don't need a USB port to use it) and works with both PC and Macintosh platforms. It operates on either four AA batteries or on an optional AC adapter. Along with the Casio QV-3000 Plus, you receive a USB cable, a serial cable, a Macintosh serial adapter cable, a software bundle, a 340 MB IBM Microdrive, a video cable, a soft carrying case, and a strap. The included software bundle enables you to instantly upload your photos to the Internet, to convert files into e-mail form, and to edit your photos with ease. Casio backs the QV-3000 Plus with a one-year warranty.
Product Description
The QV-3000Plus employs an advanced 3.34 megapixel CCD that captures every nuance of the subject you are trying to record. The QV-3000Plus also features primary color filters to create 2048 x 1536-pixel images of very high-definition and natural looking color, and a new F2.0 Canon 3X optical zoom, wide-aperture lens. All of this gives the QV-3000Plus the means to record images of subjects that are too difficult for existing digital cameras with amazing definition and clarity.The QV-3000Plus comes bundled with software that automates exchange of images with a personal computer and supports use of an IBM microdrive, which means that image management and transfers are quicker and easier than ever before. Other features include a Night Mode that uses a CASIO original noise reduction system, a choice between shutter speed priority and aperture priority, a Continuous Mode that records up to three images at intervals of 0.5 second, and much more. Take advantage of the latest disk drive technology by adding the IBM 340MB Microdrive to your Casio Digital Camera. This new microdrive weighs less than a AA battery and can hold 200 times more data or images than a floppy disk. The microdrive's very small size and high performance make it ideally suited for applications needing portability and having high data/image requirements.

 It was the best camera I ever owned. November 21, 2008
T. Piatek (Irkutsk, Russia)
I bought this camera in 2000, and it broke in 2006 after many thousands of shots in almost a dozen countries. It produced accurate color, great (for the era) resolution and clarity, and had a decent zoom. The night shots were good, and the panoramas and films as well. Low-light sensitivity was wonderful, and I never felt that a rainy day would hamper my abilty to take a photo that accurately reflected the world as I captured it. The capacity with the microdrive was revolutionary and a great boon as well, not having to change disks or memory sticks every time you filled up 64 mb with photos.
And then it broke. I thought, big deal, surely cameras have come a long way since then! I hobbled by with a borrowed ultracompact Casio for a year, and finally settled on a Nikon Coolpix P80. It produces sharper images at greater range, and has tons of features I never dreamt of with my Casio - yet it can't focus worth a darn. I'm discovering little niggling problems that I never even knew could pop up - and that says volumes about the quality of the QV3000EX.
My experience with later Casio cameras hasn't been so rosey, but Casio should be proud to have made such a fine camera, and any buyer should be proud to own one.
Great camera. September 14, 2003
Marina Woodward (Houston, TX USA)
This camera easy to use, has great quality pictures with 3.34 MP. Long battery live.
A Great Camera October 20, 2002
I've had my Casio for just over 2 years. It is extremely easy to use and with the hard drive, I mindlessly shoot shots at the highest resolution (2048x1536)knowing that storage is no issue. Having the HD has changed the way I shoot photos since with "no storage issues" I take multiple photos per topic and decide later on my computer which ones I'll use and delete the rest. Accessing photos with the USB port is as simple as plugging in the USB cable and double clicking the "drive E:" icon that appears in My Computer. Although the Casio software is ok it is not as effective as some of the commercial software that is available. After trying a few packages I've settled in on using Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 and Irfanview (which is free) to edit my photos. I've printed 8x10 photos on my Epson ink jet printer with Photo paper and the results are superb. A high resolution, poster size photos can be printed. Since day one, I've been using Kodak rechargeable Ni-MH batteries and battery life has not been an issue at all. The 3x optical zoom I use extensively and I've never used the digital zoom. An excellent camera that I highly recommend.
this camera is a workhorse October 9, 2002
Jo Eaton (Canaan, ME)
We have used this camera on several three week or longer trips, carrying extra rechargable batteries and using a bigger storage chip. We get up to 1,000 photos, sometimes things get a little slow after 800, who cares!Weddings, camping, Grand Canyon, Penobscot River: the camera is flexible from macro flower shots to large vistas. Easy to use, easy to remove unwanted photos, EASY EASY EASY to upload. like the view library. Plan to buy one more so we don't have to share, have bought one for daughter, now thinking about one for son for Christmas. Online pricing today... Love this camera, it works hard and takes great photos.
Casio QV 3000EX September 13, 2002
I have owned the Casio QV 3000EX for over 2 years and have found the setup and use of the product extremely easy. The 340 MEG drive enables you to take many pictures between downloads. The option to insert rechargeable batteries and off the shelf batteries is another benefit. I use the camera often and highly recommend it over the others I have seen.
