Awesome Keyboard 
2007-10-14
I got this keyboard about a month ago - paid $299 for it and could not be happier. I am not an accomplished keyboard player and have wanted a nice, affordable keyboard that I could learn on and grow with over time - I think this is it!
It has features galore - many more than I will need right now, but lots here to let me expand as I learn more.
I spent a lot of time "shopping" before going with this one and have no regrets about my purchase.
If I had any complaint - it is that it does not come with a stand or a cover but these are minor issues.
Great value - got for it.
Almost up to Expectations 
2007-10-09
I find the Casio WK-3300 to be a great tool for practicing and composing using MIDI with Finale, but not necesarily performing. While, the sound is pretty good, it's not as clear as it could be. The DSP is confusing to use a bit and needs to be adjusted for each sound. It has a great chord feature, rythms, and some other very helpful features. The many synth sounds are great for effects, especially in the pits of shows for musical theatre. I highly recommend it as a tool for musicians, and as a backup in an orchestrah. And for a GREAT price!
Oh and, a sustain pedel makes the sounds EXTREMELY more enjoyable.
Good product, poor delivery 2007-08-06
1. Slow delivery by UPS. Ordered on July 28th from Amazon (not from one of the Amazon Marketplace participants), delivered August 6th.
2. Completely moronic packaging. No external packaging at all, just the manufacturer box. The very little tape used for sealing peeled off, the product arrived completely unsealed, in a dirty, tattered box. But luckily inside everything was OK.
3. The sounds are very nice, more natural, in my opinion, than in Yamaha keyboards (the last Yamaha I owned was S03, maybe in newer keyboards the sounds are more refined, I don't know). I like this Casio, especially considering the price. It's not designed, however, for small apartments - my first impression was: "it's huge!".
A good bang for the buck. 2007-05-08
I have owned a number of Casio and Yamaha keyboards since 1984. However, until the WK series came along, I considered Casio instruments for beginners and people who like to have fun on the keyboard but don't take their music seriously. The sound quality of Casio keyboards has improved immensely in 23 years, not only in the instrument voices, but also in the auto-accompaniment tracks.
I gave this instrument four stars because although much improved, the piano isn't as true as my Yamaha 88-note instrument. Nor does the WK-3300 have even a resemblance of a piano feel. However, I bought this keyboard because of the drawbar organ sounds. It has some really nice organ sounds across the board, as well as some really neat synth sounds if New Age is your style. I use this Casio for fun stuff and the Yamaha for more serious work.
The bottom line is, if you are strictly a classical music pianist, perhaps this instrument isn't for you. You might want more than 76 keys and more of a weighted-key feel when you're playing piano. But if these things don't matter much to you, this Casio may surprise you and give you a lot of enjoyment.
As far as the mixer and the SD card saving features, I haven't done anything with these to comment on them. I enjoy this Casio for making music and occasionally recording from it.

4 Words- Bang for the Buck 2008-03-16
This is an amazing value-
Touch sensitive keys (three levels, but I am not good enough to need more)
USB Midi capabilities
All of the cool auto-accompany Casio Stuff
Very solid sounding two-way on board speakers
Full size keys
On-board song recording/playback
Digital synth to play around with
Draw Bar Organ
Portable- you can even run it off of batteries if you'd like
It goes on and on... its sort of an inexpensive swiss-army knife of entry level keyboards.
I wish it looked not as cheesy, but for less than $300, if anyone can find a better value, please, please let me know.
The kids love playing with it, I love playing on it.
More synth than piano 2008-01-19
I wanted to buy a new keyboard for home use only, just to have a fun, so it did not make a lot of sense to buy something expensive. I also wanted something nice and with 76 keys because on 61-key keyboard is difficult to play with both hands and 88-keys are way too much (I never used the whole range when played on piano). Therefore I had to choose between Yamaha DGX220 and Casio WK3300. WK3800 did not make any sense, esp. floppy drive which was already obsolete many years ago and otherwise it is not any different from WK3300, but costs $100 more.
DGX220 (aka YPG220) has a much nicer keyboard feeling and overall quality of buttons and is higher. But downside is it is essentially piano that also has capability to play synthesized sounds. WK3300 is more synth and organ than piano (piano is so-so esp. how keys feel) and you can change sound like in real synth even though you have to go through menu. Sound quality of WK3300 is amazing for home use. Keyboard is not so great but much better than on cheap keyboards. Of course you can play piano if you want, but if you are more focused on piano I would recommend at least DGX220 if not real 88-key with hammer action.
Good sounds, and a good bargain 2008-01-16
The classical sounds on this Casio are improved over the WK2200, especially the brass sounds. The strings are better too, especially sound #177 (Chamber), it has good depth. However, the flutes are a bit iffy, but acceptable, the oboe is a hobo, the bassoon a buffoon, the french horn sounds indistinct and underwaterish. The piano sound is better though, and sounds, well, grand.
I like the small amount of resistance on the keys, it makes the keyboard more playable, I also like the USB interface, very portable.
Really Nice Keyboard 2008-01-05
I have to say, this Casio is a great keyboard to play. The piano feature sounds very close to a piano, with keys somewhat similiar to a real piano. Of course, a piano is a piano, and a keyboard is a keyboard, but the sound is better on this board then most any I have played. It has a ton of features including a very nice drawbar organ that impressed me. You can tune and program just about anything on this. So many other tones and rhythms to keep you happy. I like that the keys feel better than most boards to play on. Again, if you are a professional pianist, you should stick with a real piano, but this will definitely please most people. It is large, but I love the way it looks. Very cool looking, sleek and modern.
A sustain pedal is a must and the best one to go with it is the M-Audio SP-2 Sustain Pedal found at Amazon, which has an elongated heavy metal pedal, very nice and works supreme with this board. Lots of other features that are too numerous to go into, but for a few, SD memory option for additional memory storage, a bright blue large display that looks great with the silver board, DSP, layering, splitting, and on and on. I also have to mention I like the direct USB to my computer, without the old midi left and right sockets, remember those? This one is USB to USB and very simple and works great on my computer. Note: You do have to buy the USB cable as it doesn't come with one, but you can pick one of those up at almost any store, such as Walmart.
I bought the On-Stage Standard Keyboard Stand, from Amazon, that fits it well and for only 20.00 dollars plus 6.00 something for shipping. I also purchased the Yamaha PKBB1 Portable Keyboard Bench for 30.00 from Amazon too, and it is padded well, works great with the stand and is comfortable.
A great board! I am very pleased!
casio WK3300 2007-12-31
I had taken lessons and played a double manual Yamaha organ for many years and had to sell it a couple of years ago.
It was a $3,500 instrument and it cannot hold a candle to the 3300!!
