I really didn’t like the Casio EX-S500 but this digicam is definitely a shooter of a different color. The EX-Z1000 has a nice feel, superb onscreen menus, is simple to use and it takes good—not great—photos. I recommend it, especially if you can get it for around $350."</i> <br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/20060712_1510321.gif" /><br /><br />Wow, 10 megapixels is cool, but I'd really like to see more optical zoom on this camera instead since at this point more megapixels is not going to help most photographers do anything other than fill up their memory card quicker. I guess you COULD use the extra resolution to do your zooming in post production. What do you think? Are 10 megapixels just overkill?

Definitely overkill. However, I don't see how you can squeeze more optical zoom into a camera as thin as the Z series...

Actually, this is thinner and has a 10x optical

Okay, never mind then. ;) I'd be curious to see the respective picture quality of the two cameras, though.
