On the back of the 0.8-inch thick, the Casio EX-Z16 body is a 2.7-inch color TFT LCD display, 230,400 pixel resolution is equal to approximately a 320 x 240 pixel array with each pixel from neighboring red, green and blue dots. This is the only way to design or review of movies, such as the EX-Z16 lacks any form of real optical viewfinder.

Casio’s newest low-cost camera, the Exilim EX-Z16 is a thin, elegant model that you find for less than $ 100. And my Casio EX-Z16 review shows that while the Z16 suffers from some common problems for cameras in this price range, there are a few features that make it a pretty good value. For example, the LCD-Z16 sharp and bright, and it’s not from the screen glare that mutual friends suffer with cheap cameras. The image quality with the Z16 is pretty good, considering its initial price, and it is easy to use.

The Z16 is one of the finer sub-$ 100 cameras around, but it will only appeal to beginners. The Casio EX-Z16 ships from September 2010 in the U.S. market. The price is set at around 100 U.S. dollars.

Casio Exilim EX-Z800 Review

November 19th, 2010

Reaches near the top of Casio Z-series of compact camera that packs the EX-800 is a 4x wide-angle zoom lens, a 14-megapixel CCD sensor stabilized in a relatively compact metal housing. Casio’s recommended retail price for this new arrival is 149 which seems like a good price taken into consideration all these functions. The camera will be those for ease of use and compact size for a price that will not break the bank. The fashion-conscious among us will be pleased to know that this camera in a series of six colors.

Features

A 14-megapixel CCD sensor is equipped with high-resolution images suitable for large prints, if the quality was up to scratch record. All these points are also those, the big numbers is like something to her friends about whether to keep with the Jones to speak important. The 4-times zoom lens covers a very useful range equivalent to 27-108mm on a 35mm camera that offers a decent wide angle and enough telephoto lens for portraits and not too far away subjects. Those will be pleased to know that a mechanical image stabilization takes care to be ironing out at the longer end of the zoom with shaky hands. If the 108mm equivalent telephoto lens is not enough, Casio have a function that develops the resolution is reduced, as in the telephoto range of the zoom has been exceeded, which provides an added extra 2x zoom with little visible quality loss promises.

Casio’s new premium-auto mode is also available on this model, which automatically include the appropriate BEST SHOT program to every shot. In theory, should be qualitatively better results than the default Auto mode. When people in pictures are the face detection automatically enabled in any mode takes care of focus and exposure.

A high-definition video recording facility is also included, which can be accessed at the touch of a button. Video clips for a maximum of 29 minutes at a time in 720p resolution be recorded.

Handling

The first thing to me about the EX-Z800 is made as easy as it is installed with a weight of only 124g with battery and memory card. It is also very compact with only 91mm wide, 52.3mm high and 19.5mm deep. It should happily slip into a pocket purse, and you would hardly notice it’s there.

The fit and finish of the EX-Z800 is good, although the battery cover feels on the silver model for review provided a little poor, compared to the rest of the camera. The control switch all very clear and simple, with the most common traps directly under my index finger and thumb.

Performance

I found the EX-Z800 quite appealing to camera that is fast in most conditions. The face recognition works very well, locks on faces in the scene very quickly. Unfortunately, when some of the Best Shot modes, the camera takes a while to process the results after the picture was taken, which can be a little frustrating when you want to take another shot soon.

The measuring system in the EX-Z800-out very well in a variety of conditions, especially if the facial recognition is active. take to bring light colored scenes with backlit few problems for the camera, the lighting conditions on the scale seems. Images have nice contrast and color saturation in most cases, making them ideal for printing directly from the camera.

ISO and noise performance

How often is the case with high-megapixel compact camera EX-Z800 strikes at higher sensitivities. There is no significant noise at sensitivities up to ISO 200, where a little noise can be found in the shadows, if you look closely enough. Pictures at ISO 400 reduces symptoms of noise reduction image section taken, but the results are still of acceptable quality for general use.

The image quality will worsen further as the ISO increases, but the results are still fairly up to ISO1600, which obviously colored speckles begin to take over and fine detail is smoothed by the noise reduction tests, which may affect the image quality to save it.

White Balance

The EX-Z800 turned out an impressive performance of the automatic white balance with incandescent and fluorescent lamps results in the warm white in our studio is practically taken over by those with the manual settings for each condition. A slightly amber cast is still available in incandescent light, but it is very low.

Buffer read/write times

In the default Auto mode, I measured the delay between shots to 2.2 seconds, on average, the typical performance for a camera of this level. With the Premium Auto mode activates the delay increases dramatically, with up to five seconds would in some cases before the camera to make me another shot. I would imagine that would be pretty frustrating if you wanted to take another shot soon.

Lens Performance

The 4x optical system appropriate to the EX-Z800 a good performance during the test and there are pictures with good sharpness from edge to edge throughout the zoom range. Little distortion is present and the lens seems to be fairly resistant to flare.

Unfortunately, the macro function is a little disappointing, so that only the camera within 8 cm of your subject to be brought in the super macro mode. Reflections and ghosting is kept to a minimum, even in harsh backlight and chromatic aberration is kept to a minimum too.

Conclusion

The Exilim EX-Z800 is a compact and well-marked, that is certainly capable of excellent results in the right conditions. The quality at higher sensitivities could be better, but the camera will be those who take most of her pictures outdoors in bright light, or indoors with flash at close distances to meet the rise.

With the camera under 150 I feel it represents good value for money than the image quality, especially at lower ISOs exceed many other fixed cameras in this price class.

Casio Exilim EX-Z29 Digital Camera Review

September 14th, 2010

I’m not long back from a short break in Blackpool, and during my vacation, I would expect many pictures as you would from a photographer, but as with many of their own with my DSLR, I also took well over 200 with the Casio EXILIM ZOOM EX -Z29 that I had been asked to put to the test, and I must say, I was comfortable with what was no surprise this little camera.

First, I want to say that the piano was black version of the Casio EXILIM ZOOM EX-Z29, that I was there, have an amazing camera, it also comes in silver, pink, blue and purple, but it has the black one for me be any times, the next thing to note how robust the small unit, feels to many cheaper compact cameras feel cheap, but this one feels like a camera twice its value, so far so good then.

As good looking and very sturdy, all was necessary to do it now to produce in a position, great pictures, and I had to write me a very nice compact. I must say the pictures were not great, but they were very, very good and definitely better than I expected from a camera retail just 100 or there abouts. The images I have were all very sharp and had wonderful color and displays little or no signs of purple fringing and noise (even at higher ISO’s).

Once the lights went down and the ISO was in places where I do not use flash, as could be raised behind the windows of the tram, as we toured the lights, the picture was a little louder, but only at ISO `s, the 800 is again quite impressive for such a cheap compact cameras, some budget DSLR `s struggle for pictures at ISO 800 to produce, so that the camera got some real advantages.

Back to the camera itself, and you have the large 2.7-inch screen on the back gives you the chance taken a good look at your pictures and decide which are keepers and which are not. You also have the controls in a very intelligent, I found this camera a real pleasure to be compressed and so often I find very fiddly to use the much larger DSLR that I’m used to, so once again the camera did nothing wrong in my eyes.

Casio has a few gimmicks, like most companies were not in their small car at the time, Casio has equipped this device with the now very common face recognition option that is in small cars in general a waste of time and I feel pretty much is in it This unit also some DSLR `s good to use this feature, but I still have a compact, found that it also uses. It has also built the YouTube Capture mode to the video function that records and stores movies on the ideal settings for uploading to YouTube, another gimmick waste of time if you ask me, but then one might think, I think differently.

The video function on this compact is pretty much like any other, it is OK to create video in perfect light, but once the light turns the image quality of the video is as good as useless. Compact cameras simply do not have wide enough lenses let in enough light to produce a video quality and I am always confident that we have so many tiny video cameras, compact cameras will finally stop the video feature altogether.

Although the lens is not good for videoing, it has to be said that there Sat very good lens and 3x optical zoom, that with quick and quiet and does not reduce the final image quality, when used, it must be said, that is, the 10.1-megapixel sensor is obviously good with this lens, because you really do the kind of images you from such a large sensor, in contrast to several ten-megapixel cameras, which have to do just not good enough lenses on expect to use the sensor would.

We will of course all the usual built-in settings such as beach, fireworks, Indoors and the likes, it capture you, pictures, what in your area with just the turn of a dial tone, but this camera can also be set up to enable quite a lot could all in your own pace so if you know what you do with the setting of things like ISO, white balance, shutter speed and aperture, or if you are interested in it, then you learn to do the option certainly exists to do so.

The next thing that Casio is definitely Get Right, that they have decided to power this device with a lithium-ion battery instead of the dreaded AA `s, some manufacturers are still waiting on the use. The battery of this device allows you to take around 250 shots per battery charge, and it takes less than an hour to recharge to full power. It also uses a standard SD card, so you can pick up very cheap and have the ability to hundreds of photos without ever to upload and to take empty the memory.

Connecting the camera and the software on your computer or laptop is also a very easy task, and it literally takes just minutes to install the camera and the software and get started. The reference manual that comes with the camera is to be understood very straightforward and simple, if you will, a bit more about setting things manually, it will help you learn.
