Many people are first introduced to poker by TV shows such as Bravo’s “Celebrity Poker Showdown” or Travel Channel’s “World Poker Tour,” and many will play their first hands online.

Despite online poker’s rise, nothing replaces feeling of shuffling heavy clay poker chips in your hand, throwing chips into center of a casino table, or stacking tall piles of chips after showing a victorious hand.

Where I see camera falling down is in two areas. The flash is definitely under-powered. Luckily I rarely use flash, I prefer natural light with correct white-balance. Secondly, CCD and metering combination often produce blown-out highlights. The live histogram helps here; you can dial in some EV compensation if you wish, but too many of my shots are having this problem. I can live with it in an ulta-compact though.

All-in-all, I love my little Casio EX-Z750. It's fast, feature packed, and has a very high toy factor to it!
