Casio Exilim EX-Z4 Digital Camera (Casio-EXZ4U)

• Reviewed by: Rallllle

  Strengths: Picture Quality, Usability, Dimensions

  Weaknesses: Price, Docking-Station necessary

  Overall: I'm a proud owner since 1 year and I love the exilim. The Exilim is so small, but still the picture quality is tremendous. The camera is easy to handle, you don't need to read the manual. Disadvantages are the high price (but still fair compared to the features) and that you have to use the docking-station for transmitting the pictures to your computer via USB.

  Strengths: small size; ease of use

  Weaknesses: there were none...until the LCD went out.

  Overall: This is my third digicam. I had an old Kodak years ago, an older Canon PowerShot for which the Casio replaced. I have been thrilled with the Casio, especially with its ease of use and its small size. For those of us not particularly interested in or having the time to learn the capabilities of cameras with all of the higher end manual photography adjustments, this camera is a dream. UNTIL the LCD screen quit working. I now have a screen with a big, black blob-looking thing that covers 3/4 of the screen and has rendered my camera useless. I can still shoot by looking through the viewfinder, but it is so tiny, it makes it extremely difficult. I am now in the market for a new camera. I am very squeamish about buying another Casio...and very sad.

  Strengths: I like the small size of this camera, the ease with which the cradel allows you to view and charge the battery. The usable life of the battery inbetween charging requirments.I like the petitness.

  Weaknesses: It is vertually impossible to view the subjects on the 2" screen when the sun is at your back. One must order a hard copy of the 177 page instruction book.

  Overall: The pictures that I have taken have all been of superior quality. The menu is simple and easy to use, although more definitions of cause and effects of the various settings would be very helpful. This is a good product.

  Strengths: Overall size, LCD size

  Weaknesses: No movie mode, indoor pictures are grainy

  Overall: I would have gone for Sony DSC T-1 if it existed when I purchased this one. I didn't even check on-line whether it had a movie mode before I purchased this, because the 3.2 MB one had it.

  Strengths: Very light with hugh view. Menue easy to operate. Docking station makes recharging a snap and also serves as a slide show.

  Weaknesses: small internal memory

  Overall: Bought this camera to have a very light mobile, in your pocket piece. It is very easy to use with sinple menues. Would have preferred a real instruction manual instead of having to go through my computer but I guess it helps keep the cost down. Wish it came with more then a internal 10 meg memory which only allows for 6 shots at the highest resolution
