This EXILIM ZOOM model incorporates the 'EXILIM Engine', a newly developed compact image-processing module with a 3 layer Stack MCM, which achieves high picture quality and quick...

This makes the camera's compact dimensions possible and at the same time have a battery life 2.5 times that of previous models, it also enables users a to capture stunning 360 photos a single battery charge. Thanks to the EX-Z30's unrivalled processing speed, streamed movie clips with sound can also be captured, compared with previous models limit of 30 or 60 second clips. Budding moviemakers can now capture memorable events and the only limitation is the capacity of their memory card. When photos need to be taken in a hurry, the EXILIM ZOOM model uses Auto Pan Focus mode with one rapid push of the shutter button, removing the need to wait for auto focus, and capturing pin sharp fast moving targets. In combination with the approximate 1.6-second high-speed start up time and approximate 0.01-second release time lag, the features of these cameras allow for even faster, more satisfying photography. The camera has 21 built-in BESTSHOT scenes. Selecting a BESTSHOT scene automatically changes the setup of the camera to the setting required to record an image similar to the sample scene. Other impressive features include the large 2.0-inch TFT LCD screen and the Direct On function for one-touch record and play modes. In addition to being USB DIRECT-PRINT compliant for direct connection to printers, the EX-Z30 is compatible with the PictBridge and PIM II standards. A combination of outstanding design, portability and high performance has put the EXILIM ZOOM range at the forefront of the market trend for compact, stylish and thinner digital cameras and now CASIO have responded to the demand for a longer battery life.

well 6 months ago i was looking for a new digital camera and brought a pentax optio s30 it was a good camera until it broke after 2 days of use so i had it replaced and guess wot that one broke aswell so after getting my money back my friend suggested i look at a casio ex-z30 because it uses the same optical lense as the pentax so i did and o my god what a camera
I brought it with a 128mb card with the money i saved as the casio was cheaper
what a camera it comes with 3.2 mega-pixels a 2inch view screen,smc pentax 3x optical zoom,you have a choice of 21 best pre-programmed shot scenes,2 to 10second self portrat,upto 6minutes of videoor 8 minutes of voice(on128mb card)1xdocking station for 1 touch transfer to your computer,kodak software, picture quality is identical to the optio s30 but more user friendly

The docking bay also doubles as a charger,charging a 1230mah ion lithium battery which when charged will allow the camera to take upto 360 photos off one charge

But better still when brought with the 128mb card will allow you to take this amount of pictures:
