Product Description

The high resolution, 10.1 megapixel EXILIM Zoom EX-Z200 and EXILIM Zoom EX-Z100 models feature an EXILIM series first - a 4x optical zoom lens that can shoot as wide as 28 mm (equivalent). Also, in addition to the usual recognition technologies, the intelligence of these cameras has been enhanced. They incorporate automatic scene differentiation and allow the shutter to be released automatically, thanks to CASIO's commitment to keep improving the convenience offered by digital cameras. Wide-angle 28 mm lens with 4x optical zoom These cameras allow zoom photography between 28 mm and 112 mm (35 mm film camera equivalent). This increases photographic enjoyment, from wide angle photography suitable for capturing large subjects or shooting up close in small spaces, right through to telephoto work. 10.1 million effective pixels for high resolution photographs The new thinner, smaller bodies of these two models were made possible without sacrificing high resolution image quality using a newly developed 1/2.3 inch CCD. Their high resolution images can be used to create beautiful prints even when enlarged or when the image is cropped. CCD shift anti shake function in the EX-Z200 The EX-Z200 employs an anti shake function that compensates for blur by moving the imaging element. Of course, both models incorporate Anti Shake DSP, which reduces blur by raising the camera's sensitivity and therefore increasing shutter speeds. 2.7-inch wide and bright LCD offers high contrast The camera incorporates CASIO's newly developed Super Clear LCD.

Customer Reviews

Great wide angle lens
This is a great little gadget! I finally decided to upgrade my battered old four megapixel camera and decided to go for the EX-Z100 and I've had it for about two weeks now. The first time I used it was at a party and I got some fab quality photos of all my friends with the wide angel lens. It's really quick to use as well, other people were taking ages to take a shot with fiddly cameras while I was clicking away! The screen is really big and crystal clear showing really tiny detail. It's really easy to set up and use so I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone.

Good
I like the camera - I've had it a few months and can't complain.

I'm adding this review to say if you lose the (proprietary) USB cable the only place you can get it is from CALLING casio spares number - available from their web site. It wasn't a problem but I went to 3 shops and spent hours online trying to find this out (the casio website doesn't sell the accessory).

The call centre was helpful and quick though :-)

EX-Z100
I don't have this camera, but recently tried a friends. The specs indicate it should be a good camera, and it certainly lives up to it. The 10 mega pixel pictures give a good, clear picture in standard conditions, but can lack in quality in high light conditions. The lens is of good quality is quite sufficient, a 28mm wide angle lens and this also helps with the 4x optical zoom. The ISO is good when set high, so pictures are as clear as possible. Rechargeable battery as standard is good and will last for a reasonable amount of time, usually about 4 hours, turning it on and off. A simple camera to use, with good pictures produced!
