Casio Exilim Pro EX-P600 Review

by Tracey Capen

- We had a hard time deciding whether the silver, metal-clad Exilim Pro fit better into our point-and-shoot category or our advanced camera category. It has all of the creative controls--but not the size and heft--of a typical advanced model. It's pocketable, in a lumpy sort of way, and it has an impressive array of built-in help prompts that should appeal to sometime photographers. But in the end, we lumped it into the advanced category because it has features we typically associate with higher-end models: It has, for example, nine types of bracketing. And while it is missing a flash hot shoe, it does have a flash sync connector.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Nice features.

Weaknesses: Bad quality.

Overall Evaluation: Have had it for 2 years. After 6 months, the lens got stuck. Got it repaired. After 18 months a button on the back was out of function. I managed without it, but now the display have gone all black. I think 2 years is too short lifespan for a camera. My old Nikon SLR is still as good as new after 20 years.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Short shutter delay, high resolution, compact, big LCD screen, long battery life

Weaknesses: slow to set zoom, awkward manual settings (though automatic settings work fine for most pictures). Autofocus fails in some low-light situations (stained glass windows).

Overall Evaluation: I've owned this camera since about July 2004, and have been very happy with it. It has a very short shutter delay. (I hated the long delay on my first digital camera, a Ricoh RDC-7.) Beautiful pictures.It also comes with a cable to plug into a USB port on my computer, and automatically emulates a disk drive. Trivial to download pictures from. Works fine with Linux.Only one significant problem so far, when the zoom failed suddenly. Everything else kept working - it would take pictures, display them, retract and cover the lens when turned off, uncover and deploy the lens when turned on. The zoom worked in replay mode (can zoom in and out of the recorded picture), so apparently the switch was okay.Solution: The bezel around the lens had come partially unscrewed!Apparently there is a switch to detect this, which disables the zoom function so an accessory lens will not cause damage. Just tightening the bezel fixed it. Thanks to my son in law Drew for figuring this out!
