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

...Overview: The camera overall exceeds my expectations as a consumer device, here Casio have gone to great lengths to incorporate the latest technology into a small, lightweight and durable piece of equipment. This camera is truly pocketsize, and yet, nothing is compromised by it being yet smaller than the previous models. With the falling prices of technology, having waited for the release of this newer improved, and above all cheaper version of the camera was well worth it. The camera offers an above all superb 10.1 Mega Pixel resolution, resulting in excellent quality imagery, and a range of different settings, meaning that the camera can be applied to any situation to capture the best image possible at almost any desired resolution. Image: With any digital camera, the major selling point, for me, and many prospective...

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....

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...

Cream of the casios

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

...Let me start off by saying, WOW. Who would have guessed that something so compact and relatively cheap for a good camera, could produce top quality and professional looking photographs. As well as the usual point and snap photograph, there are also 38 settings for all variety of options like portrait, scenery, pets, sports, black and white, fireworks, all with individual shutter speeds and colours to give excellent results. The zoom is fantastic and still produces great shots when in absolute full zoom. Also the macro focus setting is amazing, you have to see it to believe it. There are so many snapshot setting that i haven't tried all of them yet and i have had this camera for nearly 6 months. There are 4 different flash settings, 4 focus settings, including manual focus, which many digital cameras do not have, self timer...

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...

Getting Your Kid Into Digital Cameras

Advantages: Features Like Any Regular Digital Camera
Disadvantages: 16 MB Internal Memory and No Zoom Capabilities

...No digital camera review on CIAO would be complete without a few entries about cameras designed for kids. After all, kids are almost universally enthusiastic about taking pictures. And parents with a love of photography often pass down their passion to their children. But digital cameras are not always kid-friendly, due to fragile construction, price, or complicated menus and buttons. The newest trend in children's electronics is a group of digital cameras made especially for small children. These cameras are easy to hold, come in bright colors that kids love, and have many of the same features as grown-up digital cameras. Kids love them. The VTech KidiZoom Digital Camera is one of the top digital cameras for kids. This camera was made with fun in mind. Kids like the KidiZoom's large LCD screen and the onboard photo editing options...

Review of VTech Kidizoom Camera Pink

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...

shoot away

Advantages: light, great pics and fun
Disadvantages: None

...This camera is simply excellent. We brought this to take on our honeymoon as we wanted great pictures and with a 10.1 megapixcel ability it met everything that we wanted. Other great features are that it has a large screen which you end up using instead of the normal view whole. You have end less extras like red eye removal and editing features as well as detailed graphs that show you the amount of light the shutter is letting in and the technical stuff that i have never got my head around. It is also so light that you never know you have it and it fits well in the palm of your hand so you dont always have to put it away. Once the picture has been taken you are also able to edit and crop the picture you have taken and also you can zoom in of certain parts and make copies of them without losing the quality of the picture and still...
