Though not a move into a completely different product area, it's been interesting to see them step up their digital piano game. For a long time it seemed like Casio had a reputation for not making serious keyboards that you could gig on. But they have been churning out really nice keyboards recently - most notably, the Privia line. The ones I've played have a really nice feeling action, pro-level sounds and they're visually quite slick.

I am always attracted to the design of Casio keyboards when I see one at a store somewhere. Then I play them, and realize that many of them (the low end models) still often lack velocity sensing. Both the best and the worst thing about Casio is that they’re stuck in the 90s.

I was shopping around for a digital piano and the Privia does look really nice. I haven't experienced one in person yet and I am a bit scared to buy any keyboard or digital piano without trying the action.

I like the action on the Privias (and the similar CDP360s, which I played recently). My only complaint about the action is that if you're playing at low/practice volumes, you tend to hear a lot of mechanical plastic sound as the keys spring back up. I'm a big fan of Roland's actions. I'd check out the FP30. I also used to practice on a Yamaha P125B and they are great.
