Casio EXILIM "ZOOM!" EX-Z1050

Advantages: Inane amount of pixels, Easy to handle size, 2.6" display
Disadvantages: Graning in darker areas, No memory card supplied

...can always become overwhelming, which is why, I think, a great advantage is the way Casio have kept to a minimalist control scheme, with two modes, shoot and playback. However, saying this, thee camera does have a mind-boggling 30+ shooting modes which can become a little confusing at times when you find you simply want to be taking a picture, not a panorama, long distance, or a night scene. The battery life was disappointing with my last camera but here I am mildly impressed, the official figures say that the cameras will last for 370 pictures, I have found it to last for 200 shots but still this battery life is highly commendable. Especially useful for when you want to be going on holidays, it is highly capable of lasting a week or two without the need for a charger and when it does need a charge it never takes more than 3 or 4...

CASIO EXILIM ZOOM EX-Z1050

Advantages: Great design and overall look, excellent image quality
Disadvantages: None so far

...This casio Exilim zoom ex-z1050 is a very high standard camera i found that it was very easy to use although i did find it difficult at first to use as i didnt read the instructions and just cracked on you must read the instructions first. The overall look of this camera is very slick and smart i liked the design as it is very simple and good,Whilst talking about the design i will just like to add that the image screen is a good size as it is not to small. The image quality on this camera is great with a 10.1 megepixel camera you cant go wrong, youre pictures look like somthing from a magazine or a real photograpy. I also found with this camera it resists damages fromg things such as dropping it or splashing it with water. i over all think that this camera i a very good camera for youre money it has great aspects and great...

Casio exilim zoom EX-Z1050

Advantages: EASE OF USE
Disadvantages: LACK OF DIRECT CHARGING

...Those looking for a no-nonsense digital camera that doesn't slack on quality won't go far wrong with the EX-Z1050, in my opinion it's one of the best pick up and shoot portables around today and for the price is an absolute bargain.I bought mine to take on holiday and cannot fault it's ease of use and features.Small points such as the lack of direct charging (its a pain that you have to take the battery out to charge it up) or a carry case in the box (bit mean)aren't enough to put you off from the excellent combination of performance and usability, and this camera should appeal to a wide range of photographers.The family had great fun with all the features and gimmics this camera has to offer.What more can I say digital cameras are king and this is one of the best for the money....

Casio EXILIM: Usefull? Fun? Worthwhile?

Advantages: Nice design, and good quality pictures
Disadvantages: Hard to use interface, and trouble with pc connection

...It is a very lightweight camera for me, and i love the sleek design. The camera quality is realtively good compared to older exilim digital cameras, and with a larg high resolution screen it gives a modern theme to the camera. However, I am one who regularly uploads my photos onto the computer, and although it gives you instructions on how to do so. the camera would not connect to my pc. I took it back to the store, and they tried connecting it to their dispay computer. this failed. However, i still had a warrantee on it, and they replaced it with a camera which now works perfectly well. I am still not 100% satisfied with thi camera choice becuase there are not many settings on this camera which enable you to drastically change the camera photo. Furthermore, for technology newbies, this camera deems very difficult to use...

Cream of the casios

Advantages: Small, light and ultra amazing
Disadvantages: Flash is a bit blinding

...the driver CD Rom that comes with it and then plug in your camera and voila! To print at a photo kiosk in a supermarket or a photo shop, a memory card will be needed which you can buy all over the place. The instruction manual will state which kind you need. Everything on this camera is easy to use and you will get the hang of it really quickly. The battery life is impressive. I have only charged the battery on mine 4 times since i have had it. That is great. This camera is like a small step down from a digital SLR. Great for those who love their photographs and computer editing, but not quite professional, not far off though....

Review of Casio EXILIM ZOOM EX-Z1050

An excellent quality camera with a brilliant price

Advantages: Well built, easy to use, great features, big screen, great looking camera, compact design
Disadvantages: No grip sections to speak of on the camera

...My fiancee (now wife) and I love going out and about in Scotland and quite often take our cameras with us as you never know what picture oportunities will come up so when out one day I noticed this camera and decided to get one of these for her so that she too had a digital camera with some good functions (her old digital camera was clumsy to use and did not have any optical zoom) and since buying this I have never looked back. The Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 is a terrific little camera in looks, feel, weight, functionality and ease of use. Want to point and shoot then this camera is fantastic for you...want to take time and zoom in and change the angle you take your shot from then this is not a problem either as the camera has a fantastic large colour screen which is easy to see and makes taking the shots both quicker and easier (smaller...

Turn on, point and click, so easy to use!

Advantages: Ease of use, point and click technology, 10mp, Superb price
Disadvantages: No memory card or case

...WHAT I THINK I bought this digital camera in January of this year after having a few bad experience with previous cameras, this Casio EX-Z1050 installed my confidence in digital cameras before I turned my back and went back to the old disposable effects you see at most drunken nights out. When I purchased the camera it was £170 off the internet, I came across the same model again on the internet to find it can be purchased for £120, what a bargin!, still I have had so much use over the past 9 months which I can,t get annoyed about. The main features of the camera are the 10.1 megapixels, this is where you can achieve quality pictures that are so clear and colourful, you could never go back to any other camera that filled your holidays/nights out etc before. You can also reduce the megapixels down a notch, which makes it...

Review of Casio EXILIM ZOOM EX-Z1050

Wow - fantastic piece of kit

Advantages: Functionality, ease of use, size, display, picture quality, battery life
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...Simply stunning! I upgraded to the Casio in June this year from an Olympus 8 megapixel mju, on the recommendation of a friend. He had the model before this and wanted to buy the latest one for his financee before they went on holiday. Requirements - compact, good battery life, reliable, complicated when you need it to be, but an excellent 'point and shoot' when you don't have the time to adjust the settings before you miss the shot. The Casio delivers on all points, and then some. The battery life is superb, every time I came to charge the battery (days later) I couldn't remember the last time I'd had to charge it. Reliable - no problems so far. Complicated - numerous settings to meet the requirements of most general purpose users, but simple enough that I can understand it. There's a Best Shot feature, point and shoot for 90...

The Energizer Battery Charger

Advantages: Good value for money
Disadvantages: Takes a long time to charge batteries

...I had been intending to purchase a battery charger for quite a while. In fact I had even dropped hints to certain family members around Christmas time, but to no avail. I was recently reminded of this missing piece of equipment in my life when I rediscovered the PC lead to my digital camera. Remembering that a pair of standard batteries lasted for only about 30 photos in this camera I decided that it was certainly time to invest in a battery charger and some rechargeable batteries. I purchased an Energizer CHDCW8 ? 4 battery charger from Argos for just £9.99. This decision was based on several factors, the most important of which was the price and what I considered to be the best value for money. The design also played a part in my decision process, but in the end it was the price/value that were the strongest influencing factors...

Review of Energizer CHDCWB-4 Battery Charger

the intelligent battery charger.

Advantages: Cheap, reliable, long lasting, reasonable price.
Disadvantages: Still gets warm. Plastic plug = breakable?

...---THE PRODUCT--- Definately glad to be an owner of one of these chargers, even though they seem quite pricey, the batteries are great as they are reusable, and you don't waste money on purchasing darn AA batteries, again and again. It's easy to use, don't take hours to charge like the previous models which took around 8 hours and meant that you had to leave it on over night, worrying that it would heat up and catch the house on fire. I wouldn't be without this, endlessly purchasing batteries for items. Furthermore you can't use ordinary batteries in Digital Camera's as they are drained after you've took three photo's with the flash on. These therefore are robust and useful in the long run and will save you money and time. ---MODEL--- The model number is. RC104318 It's full charge happens in about 90 minutes, however I...
