The silver metal case of the EXILIM Zoom EX-Z50 is exclusively made from finest quality materials. Thus the camera possesses the strikingly elegant brilliance of the authentic...
more...EXILIM. BESTSHOT functions are practically pre-settings for different motifs and lighting conditions. The EXILIM Zoom EX-Z50 offers 23 BESTSHOT modes. You can also create, store and call up your own modes with BESTSHOT at any time. New: 2 integrated Business Shot programs for distortion-free reproduction of business cards and projection charts. For flash photos, the background often remains too dark and the motif is not fully illuminated. The solution: Flash Assist. With this function, the brightness of the motif is automatically enhanced. Changing between the normal focus and the macro range is really fast - with the Auto Macro function. The macro region, i.e. the close-up region of the EX-Z50, comprises distances between 6cm and 50cm. Before each photo, the camera measures the distance to the motif and automatically sets the right focal range. Every picture is thus crystal-clear, even close up to important details.

I bought this camera becaue I wanted something lightweight & small that i could take with me when i go out mtbiking as quite often I'll see something that'd make a good photo whilst out riding.

Overall I've been unimpressed with the photo quality (mostly on landscape shots) the focusing seems terrible and 90% of the picture is blurry. Although on portrait shots & macro photo's this camera seems fine. Apart from the picture quality overall this camera is very well built (Feels very solid), has a great battery life, quite an impressive large screen which is viewable in most situations apart from very bright light, which is when the viewfinder comes in handy.

The charger/Docking station is quite handy although i does mean that the docking station has to be taken with the camera to charge the battery or upload photos to a pc. This unit is very small tho' so shouldn't be to much of a hassle.

Overall could be a great camera it would be unfaultable really if the picture quality wasn't so poor. Really I think the photo quality is pretty important on £200 5mpx camera, I guess if you just wanted to take snaps of your mates then this would be a fine camera If a little expensive for that. Hence only 3 stars
