Digital Home Thoughts: Casio's Funky TRYX Reviewed: Not So Tricky

"Let's be crystal clear here -- Casio's playing up the design angle hard on the Tryx. And unsurprisingly so, might we add. The chassis is undoubtedly the differentiating factor that separates this shooter from a myriad others that are currently cluttering store shelves, but the real question is this: does it matter?"

Way back during CES 2011, I commented that the Tryx "does not sound like a very well-recieved camera to me". Well, the first consumer (Engadget's more mainstream consumer tech after all) review is out, and it does not look good. I'm pretty surprised no mention of the fixed 21mm equivalent lens is mentioned, but hey, when the battery life is bad, I guess that pretty much eclipses focal length choices in the list of complaints. Head on to the review to read how bad the battery life is.
