Casio Exilim

The Casio Exilim EX-Z85 is a digital camera smaller and lighter than I remember for review. It weighs about 100g without battery and memory card. Therefore should be no problem to slip the camera into almost any pocket.

I guess the camera's design is similar to many other small digital cameras. Not much you can do with a camera of this size. Casio has rounded corners and I like the silver section around the lens. As with other cameras from Casio has little choice when it comes to color camera that you would like to buy. The EXILIM EX-Z85 is available in eight different colors, including two shades of pink. The other colors are silver, black, blue, brown, green and orange. As must be able to find a color that suits your needs.

When it comes to price this is one of the cheapest digital cameras pocket. Although it is packed with features Casio have squeezed an extra one or two that do not always seen with other brands. These include a charging mode for YouTube. The purpose of this feature is as easy as possible to shoot a movie and then upload it to YouTube. This feature, along with price, size and range of color options I suggest that target the Casio Exilim EX-Z85 mainly younger people.

Other features include smile shutter to fire a shot if the camera detects that someone is smiling. Another similar option when it detects the camera and the subject even before taking a picture. You also have access to alternatives approaches such as manual focus and infinity focus for homing in on more distant. To add something different to your photos there are a series of color filters available to you. These are black and white, sepia, red, green, blue, yellow, pink and purple. Improving how a picture will be achieved by adjusting the levels of sharpness, saturation and contrast.

As with other cameras Casio digital will find almost all hidden camera options in the menu system. The buttons on the camera has very few and mark the exhibit. To counter this Casio give you the option to display the menu options on the right side of the LCD. This makes it easy to view the current settings you are using, so as making a quick and easy to change.

I must admit I'm surprised by the picture quality of the offer of the Exilim EX-Z85. It may not be absolutely top drawer, but for so little, I found instant camera pictures to be clearer than many of its rivals. Other common problems such as glare of the sun were treated as well as could be expected. The strength of the flash unit is on the bottom and this makes it a strong probability that the best photos is will likely capture outdoors with good light. Although this is not always the case for the quality difference is more pronounced with the Exilim EX-Z85.

When it comes of other digital cameras that could give the Exilim EX-Z85 a run for their money, like the Olympus FE-20. In terms of features the Exilim EX-Z85 has more to offer, but there is little to choose when it comes to image quality and the FE-20 is even cheaper than this camera is. There is little to choose between the two chambers when size and weight either.

However, if I was looking for a very small digital camera that was easy to use and is sold at a reasonable price would be happy to give the Casio Exilim EX-Z85 a look very close.
