I was looking for a cheap and good small camera for a Xmas gift but never believed on the image quality of Casio cameras. After try some Canon, Sony and Nikon models, I decided to try the Z9 and was surprised by this small and nice camera.
The quality of the pictures is very good (even if compared to a more expensive model such as my Panasonic FX-150 and Sony H2) and the camera has a lot of resources not found on other models at the same price, including the image stabilizer and face detection. Colours are vivid and the images are very sharp (more than on my FX-150)!
I'm very satisfied and could recommend this camera for a friend!
