User Reviews for Casio Exilim EX-Z80 Black Digital Camera

  • Reviewed by: bigwallys

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Small, great pictures, easy to use, very good video.

    Weaknesses: None

    Overall Evaluation: I really like this camera. mainly because it's small and easy to use. I have a big SLR type digital camera but I never use it because its so big, bulky and complicated. I also feel like I have to be so careful with it I never take it anywhere. That's where this camera shines. You can take it anywhere in your pocket and take pictures of anything and everything. Just point and shoot. It's not so expensive you have to worry about it but it takes great pictures. also it has an ebay picture mode so taking pics for the net is easy and it also has a straight to youtube feature so you don't have to spend time shrinking and read adjusting photos and video. For me this was a smart purchase and I'm very happy with it.

    Strengths: love its sleek design; great for its price; use SD/HC.

    Weaknesses: Short battery life though

    Overall Evaluation: It's a very slim digit cam with 8.1M pixel and 3 X optical zoom, enough for daily picture taking.This camera has many many features, like all that popular stuff typical of nowadays (auto-shutter, face detection, shake reduction, etc.), and many "Best Shot" modes making some good pictures. Casio has showed me that they can make GREAT digital cameras.
