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

...the camera, as more detailed thumbnails are shown on the LCD screen, larger images are produced, colours are much sharper and the print quality is far superior compared to anything that I have taken on my previous digital camera, an old Olympus. There are however, downsides to such superior image quality, any memory card inserted into the camera, needs again to be a much higher capacity, if one intends to use to camera to it's full potential and take the best quality images, I use a 1 GB SD card, which provides maximum storage possible, without possible compatibility issues that can be experienced with 2GB SD cards. The 15.4 MB internal memory of the camera is not sufficient, and is only really capable of holding a few high-resolution photos. Design & Extras: The camera with batteries weighs little more than an apple and is not much...

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 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...

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...

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....

Energizer AA 2500 mAh Rechargeable Batteries

Advantages: Long Life
Disadvantages: Exspensive

...Hi today I will be reviewing Energizer AA 2500 mAh Rechargeable Batteries. Price You can buy these from Amazon for cheapest £7.05 I got them for £10 from B&Q and I got a charger as well. Life I recommend fully charging these for first time use. I put them on for a day. From the full charge I managed to get a week use out of them. I use them in my Xbox 360 Controllers which are used by me and my brothers so they were on for most of the week. Charge While using the official charger for this product it takes around 6 hours to charge fully (Overnight). Size I find that these batteries are a little larger than the usual AA batteries because in my Xbox controller when I first got them in they took quite a lot of force to get them out again. After using them for quite a lot it seems to have stretched the battery pack so it...

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

Let the Sun save your battery

Advantages: Helps prevent flat batteries; achieves longer battery life
Disadvantages: None

...As a student with an ageing car, my mileage was irregular and the car was often parked outside, so keeping the battery charged was a continual challenge. The car could be guaranteed not to start at the most awkward of moments. A trickle-charger was an essential piece of equipment but even it was of no use if I couldn?t find anywhere to plug it in within reach of where I could park the car safely. Removing the battery was a cumbersome alternative. I became adept at using jump leads too but there were times I wished I didn?t have to. I wish someone had thought of the solar-powered battery saver at that time. Nowadays my battery is more likely to run down through all the so-called ?key-off electronic drains? (radios, clocks, alarms and use of other devices that work through the cigar lighter), or through doing too many short...
