Advantages: Small

Disadvantages: Only 2 Mega Pixel

The Cassio EX-M20 is a fantastic digital camera. The pictures it takes are suprisingly high quality for the low pixel count, although they do lose quality when you zoom in. There are a number of different modes in which to take pictures, includung 'portrait' and 'twilight'. Each of these optomises the cameras settings to suit conditions.

The mp3 player has proven to be very useful for me, as I don't often have a CD Player or radio on me, whereas I nearly always have my camera. You can store plenty of songs on the camera, although the more you have, the less pictures you can store.

Despite it's small and rather fragile appearance, the camera is actually remarkably sturdy, being rather clumsy myself I have dropped in a number of times, both inside and out of its case, and it's certainly not the worse for wear.

I would recommend the purchase of a fairly large memory card to accompany this camera as while the pictures do not take up an enormous amount of the camera's memory, it is easier to have more space. It will also allow more space for the use of the camera for holding other files such as Word documents, or mp3 files.

The camera even comes with two seperate CD-Roms containing photo editing software, including Kodak EasyShare, and Cassios own brand photo editer. Although these programmes are adequate for simple functions such as cropping or turning them to black and white or sepier effect, they are rather inadequate even at removing red eye.

One of my main quibbles with camera is that you need to use the dock provided to connect it to your pc, you can't just plug the USB directly into the camera.

For obvious reasons, I can't put up a picture of my camera, but I've put one of the mp3 player so you can have a better look!
