Business and Technology with Common Sense
When I hear the brand name “Casio”, I think about cheap watches and even cheaper musical keyboard knockoffs. So it surprised me as I was perusing various online retailers for digital camera to come across some very highly rated Casio cameras. My initial instinct is to not buy Casio and instead turn to Olympus or Canons. But I have to ask, how do you feel about Casio as a camera brand name? Do they produce quality equipment?

A few weeks ago, Brian Clark of Copyblogger.com confided in me that he was leaving DIYThemes, and splitting paths from the embattled Thesis theme and lead developer Chris Pearson. He agreed to do an interview with me exclusively about this news. This is the entire transcript of that interview.
Technosailor.com: Brian, thanks for agreeing to this interview. Obviously, the timing of this announcement and interview are interesting considering the discussions that have been happening in the WordPress community as it pertains to licensing and DIYThemes, the creator of the Thesis theme. You’ve been with DIYThemes since its inception and have championed the theme. You’re leaving the company now. Can you describe the reasoning that has gone into this decision?
He has worked for a variety of startups and is currently peddling his skills for a startup in Austin, TX that is still in stealth mode.
He currently resides in Austin, where he samples tacos and queso like they are going out of style.
As a photograph hobbiest, I stick with Canon, but Nikon follows closely. I wouldn’t recommend any other camera manufacturer to anyone. Canon and Nikon have passed the test of time and seem always be on top of cutting edge technology.
I went to CNET where I always find great recommendations and looked up Casio – http://reviews.cnet.com/4566-6501_7-0.html?filter=1000036_5245166_&tag=dffl3_1
As a point and shoot camera, none of the reviews seemed to shock me, but for the same price, you can get the same or better from Canon. Maybe you are paying for the name, but it’s a name I trust.

Ok, Stacie. But why the brand loyalty? What is it about Canon and Nikon would make me pay for the name? Just curious… Educate me.
