Warning to Exilim owners!! READ ON...

I had my camer for about a year. It went to Hawaii twice with me and I thought it was the best 400 dollars I had spent!
Little did I know that these cameras are.. well, defective. Suddenly one day, my zoom wouldn't work. Then I realized my menu buttons didn't work. THEN I realized that the only button that DID work was the button to take a picture (which it still does). After doing more intense research, I found out that A LOT of people were having the SAME problem. I called Casio and they wanted a ridiculous amout to just look at it, let alone FIX IT!
So the deal is, these cameras have one cord that controlls most of the functions such as the menu and zoom buttons. If that cord gets rattled a little, it no longer works. SO you will then be stuck with a 10.1 MP basically disposable camera (as they can not zoom or adjust settings either).
However, I must say that my next camera WILL be a Casio, but this particular model.... I'm not too sure.
Hope my review helps.

Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 10.1MP Digital Camera

I have been looking for a 10 MP digital camera for a while. A month ago I decided to go to Amazon.com to check what cameras they got. I was looking for a digital camera that I can aim & shoot! This camera does that and more! The pictures are gorgeous!! I am glad I got this one! It's very easy to use specially if you are not familiarize with digital cameras. I had taken pictures with no background light and they had come out awesome! This is a a nice digital camera & the price is even better! This is a great buy!

Not Great.

I have owned the Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 for a long while now, and am not really satisfied. I'll list the pros and cons below:

Pros:

It looks nice. (The outward appearance is very stylish and smart looking)
It has a large screen.
It takes decent movies.
The rechargeable battery is pretty easy to recharge.

Cons:

The pictures are blurry. My husband and I have both messed with the settings constantly to try to make the pictures not blurry. With a tripod, this camera works fine, but almost anytime you are holding it they turn out blurry.

The manual doesn't tell you anything about this camera... NOTHING.

Auto shake on/off doesn't work (...again blurry pictures)

I can't even figure out (and believe me I have tried) to adjust aperture or shutter speed. The only thing it lets me change is ISO. Lame.

There is delay between when you press the button and the camera takes the picture. (Fine for nature photography, but really bad for people or pets)




All in all this camera is o.k. Like i said before, I have owned it for a long time and it is still working, so that is good. I take good care of it, and it seems to be alright. One of the reasons I bought it in the first place was because I saw that it had 10.1 mega pixels, but so you don't make the same mistake I made, it turns out that that just basically means it takes very, very large poster size pictures. (You can change the setting to take smaller ones, though) The quality isn't any better because of it. I thought 10.1 mega pixels = better pictures. Nope.(Unless you plan on blowing all your pictures up to an enormous size.)

Overall, I would not recommend this camera to family and friends.

An Excellent (Exilim) Camera

For its price, this is a OK camera. What brings my rating up is the huge selection of shooting modes, the video editing, the audio, and several other features. First off: The shooting modes. This camera is a classic Casio in that it has many shooting modes (Best Shot). It has a setting for low light (candles), for fireworks, for flowers (close-up/macro), for pets, for portraits, for eBay, and many other things. The video editing is an innovative feature that allows you to cut the middle, beginning or end of ANY video more than about 5 seconds long. The audio clips are also a great thing to have (although I can't compare this to other cameras). Other good things are high-speed shutter mode that allows you to hold down the button to take several pictures per second; this lets you get the perfect picture of a basketball dunk or of your pet. The camera can also record a clip of sound to accompany a picture when you look at it. Additionally, you can zoom in 8x (without getting grainy) on any picture you have taken. It also, of course, has a timer so you can include everyone in the picture. The only thing I think this camera is missing is the ability to hold the shutter open to take pictures of cars' lights as they move. Lastly, I would think twice before purchasing this particular camera, as Casio recently came out with a camera that functions the same and has 10.1 MP, but is half as thick (and has a youtube shooting mode).

blurry pictures, or just me?

My boyfriend bought this camera for me for my birthday a few months ago because I love the color pink. I also have a Canon Powershot SD400 that works perfectly, but it has been marked and scratched from using it so much over the past 2 years. As a big pictures girl, I decided that having 2 cameras couldn't be bad! But, I am very disappointed with the Casio. It's supercute, but I find myself using my Canon MUCH more because the pictures turn out much better. Almost all of my pictures with the Casio are blurry - even if I hold the camera super-steady for set it on a flat surface and use the self-timer. I have played around with the settings, and High Sensitivity seems to produce the best shots, but not even comparable to the pictures I get with my Canon. As previous reviews have stated, the Casio manual is vague and pretty much useless... am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions would be helpful, because I know my boyfriend paid a pretty penny for this camera, and it's definitely not getting its worth just sitting on my desk...

1. 7.2-megapixel CCD captures enough detail for photo-quality 15 x 20-inch prints
2. 3x optical zoom with Anti Shake technology
3. Features Best Shot modes; select one of 37 sample images to represent the current photo scene
4. 2.7-inch Super Bright LCD display
5. Take up to 460 still images on a single charge of the long-life battery

Editorial Review :

The EX-Z700's Super Bright LCD is both big and bright. The 2.7-inch screen with 1200cd/m brightness is easy to see, even on a sunny day. At 7.2 megapixels, the high-performance EX-Z700 ensures crystal-clear image output for both printing and screen, delivering extraordinary photographic detail. The long-life battery packs enough power for up to 460 still images on a single charge and the camera comes with Casio's Anti Shake DSP to reduce photo blur due to shaky hands or moving subjects. It also adds brand new picture-taking functions in eBay Best Shot mode. The eBay Best Shot Mode is exclusive to the Casio Exilim line of digital cameras. The eBay Best Shot takes photos at a size that is image optimized for display on eBay, allowing picture takers to more quickly and easily create photos for selling items on eBay. eBay Best Shot mode also includes Auto Macro, an ideal setting for capturing images of small items such as jewelry, tags, etc. thus automatically adjusting the focus from acquiring fine details in close up shots to capturing large items from a distance. eBay Best Shot mode allows users to capture optimized images at an ideal size for eBay. Self-timer - 10 seconds, 2 seconds, Triple Self-timer Built-in Flash - Flash Modes - Auto, On, Off, Soft Flash, Red Eye Reduction Monitor Screen - 2.8 inch TFT color LCD Battery life - Up to 460 still images (CIPA Standards) Dimensions - Width 3.48 x Height 2.24 x Depth 0.81 inch / Weight - 3.95 ounce

Handiest camera yet

The EXILIM-Z700 7MP is the handiest digital camera I've used yet. The large viewing screen is bright enough that I've never "blacked out" on a sunny day. This is especially important because there is no optical view finder. The controls are well placed and easy to operate, even with large hands (like mine). The 7.2 MP make for a great picture. Another nice feature is the recharging stand/viewer/downloader. Instead of laying the camera down while wires come out of it, this stand holds the camera at a convenient viewing angle for looking through the contents. The battery has a nice capacity so it does not need repeated charges.
The only downside is one of shape. It's so small, thin and light it's easy to lose out of a pocket. That's more the fault of the operator than the camera.

Great purchase for price.

I'm not a pro and like the point and shoot cameras. Everyone has commented on how well my photos have turned out. Outdoor shots turn out particularly well. I also really enjoy the video option. The high quality creates files too large to email and I'm still working on how to convert them to smaller files. The lowest quality video is decent for e-mail but you can't use the zoom or the picture completely degrades. I love the small size, best shot options and large, bright lcd screen. This camera would be great for someone looking to get more interested in and learn more about photography and uploading/emailing to web sites and friends. There are a number of manual settings to play with too. So far, no real complaints. I'm your average Joe photographer but I've been very happy with the quality/colors of photos and videos with this camera. And it's really cute!

great little camera

We have 4 digital cameras, including a Nikon D80 and Nikon S7, and this is always the first we grab if we want basic photos. The colors are speed are great. We couldn't be happier with this product.

Great deal for the $$$

No complaints! Large viewing area, uses & supports most SD cards. Battery life isn't bad either. The only "con" would be that tight/close shots are almost impossible (like 8-12") very blurry. But besides that it'll make ya smile without saying "cheeeeeeese"!

Editorial Review :

The Exilim Zoom EX-Z1050 features a newly developed, high-performance, image-processing module and makes it even easier to enjoy shooting super-high resolution, 10.1-megapixel images. Casio developed the new EX-Z1050, as stylish and slim as any Exilim, to enable an even greater variety of people to enjoy photography at the super high-resolution of 10.1 megapixels. At this amazing level of detail, photos print crystal-clear even in large sizes or when trimmed to show just part of the image. The EX-Z1050 is even smaller than the EX-Z1000, but features Casio's generous new 2.6-inch Wide and Bright LCD display. The camera's lightweight aluminum construction makes it a breeze to carry and gives it an unforgettable look. The EX-Z1050 is more than just convenient, stylish and cool: this camera is a truly high-performance device. It is built with the highly sophisticated Exilim Engine 2

a useful little camera...

...with excellent battery life. very good at recording video, extremely pleasant image quality in still camera mode. the only feature lacking is the ability to adjust exposure time. but other than that it works wonderfully and i quite like mine.

Good for Outdoors, Lousy for Indoors

Overall, this has been a decent camera for me. It takes great outdoor pictures, and even though I've dropped it several times, it has never broken.

My main complaint for this camera is that when it takes a picture indoors, everyone's faces come out extremely shiny. I'm talking about people glowing- and not in a good way.

I'm not a camera expert, but none of my other friends who have basic digital cameras have this problem. I guess if you rarely take pictures of people inside then this would be a good camera, but I would not recommend it for indoor use.

I love this camera. This is my third, becasue they have either been stolen or broken. Don't drop it because it is very fragile ( I work with kids, so they are always getting their hands on it). But the pic quality is great. I love it!

i love my camera :)

ive had this camera for around 3 years already! i got it as a present for christmas. the strap and one of the screws has popped out recently but it still works just fine. my sister has an even more expensive canon camera, but it cant even take pictures w/o flash w/o blurring but i find that the casio does it just fine. i love all the features on it, especially the different themes for video taking. the flash is really bright too.

Compact photos with ease

Great little camera with big features....we love it and have had no problems with it....set the image quality to high if you want to have print quality pictures....set to lower if you are just e-mailing them. Auto feature takes a lot of guesswork out of set-up...easy to use menu
