Things that Could be Better?
Connoisseurs will argue that the piano sounds are not of topmost quality and we agree with it to some extent. But the fact is that overall, the piano sounds are good and if you hear it through good headphones, the piano samples sound bit better.
There are very few buttons on a Celviano piano, and most of the functions on the piano can be selected using a combination of these buttons and the appropriate key on the piano. This can make it a bit difficult to remember the proper combinations until you have got a complete hang of all the functions. Until then, you will have to keep referring the user-manual.
The Casio AP220 Celviano piano is a great digital piano if you live in an apartment and want a compact piano that has nice piano sounds, minus the many other features which most digital pianos have. It is easy to assemble and is much cheaper than some of its counterparts. It may lack the finesse (only to some extent) but for the price you pay, the sounds on the Casio ap220 Celviano Digital Piano is very good.
If you are looking for more than just basic set of piano sounds and a better looking and more solid piano, then you can consider the Casio AP420 for more sounds, additional features and better sound/touch. For a $1000 piano it is difficult to find a better piano than the Casio AP420 Celviano Digital Piano in terms of what it offers.

The Celviano ap-620 will give you the best of everything bundled in one powerful and aesthetic looking piano. Surprisingly for this package, things like pitch-bend and modulation wheel are missing, not a big deal if you are going to play the piano but it would have been a good addition. Compared to a Roland or a Yamaha digital piano, the keys are a bit lighter, which is not really a bad thing. Some people just prefer slightly lighter keys (they are weighted though).
The AP-620 costs around $300 more than the AP-420 but then you get several additional features like styles, more voice, SD slot, LCD screen, powerful amplifier and dedicated buttons for selecting most features. So if this is what you need, go for the Casio AP620 Celviano Digital Piano.
