Product: Casio QV-R51 Price: Casio says the camera will retail for less than $3,000 Pros: Good value for the features offered Cons: Narrow viewfinder, display is big but flickers

The Casio QV-R51 is so new even the big digital camera websites have not heard of it yet. Hong Kong is the first place it has been launched outside Japan.

A month ago, I raved about the Casio QV-R40, the R51's predecessor, priced at just $2,460.

The R51 improves on the R40 with extended battery life, an impressive 3x optical zoom and a much larger display at two inches.

The TFT display is one of the camera's highlights, and gives the user a wide view of pictures.
