The Casio Exilim Ex-Z70 delivers an easy to use camera with convenience and functionality. It is powered by the Exilim engine which provides great performance; a responsive camera that attends to your commands with less lag and greater response.

Casio has designed a sleek case and large 115,200 pixel 2.5” LCD that make it an attractable device at first glance. It remains portable, weighing in at just over four ounces without the included lithium ion rechargeable battery; one, which Casio claims, will achieve 200 shots on a single charge. The camera is built with an impressive 7.2 megapixel color CCD and a quick focusing 3x optical and 4x digital zoom lens. All data is stored on a SD (secure digital) media card. With its small size, the camera is great for amateur photographers or anyone in search of a little camera with great capability.

The camera has been manufactured for ease of use and functionality. Buttons are clearly laid out on the backside of the camera and menus are easily accessible using the large screen. Features abound in only seconds and with its lighting fast turn on time; the camera is poised and ready to shoot in under a second. This is a remarkable accomplishment for a camera at its level and users will be more pleased to know that they will not miss their shot waiting for the camera to power-up. Another accommodating feature includes the anti-shake DSP (digital signal processor) that provides greater sensitivity and allows faster shutter speeds aimed at cutting down image blur. High sensitivity ISO (max ISO 3200) provides brilliant and true photographs in low light situations without the use of a flash. If a flash is desired, Rapid Flash allows the camera to store efficient power to produce a continuous burst of light for up to three photos. This cuts back on missed photos due to flash delay.

The Z-70 is also outfitted with a wide array of Best Shot Scenes. These different shooting modes allow users the ability to pick a specific setting for particular conditions, such as sundown, shooting it with greater accuracy and confidence. With over 20 modes every situation is covered. On screen help makes choosing a mode straightforward. The camera facilitates you in achieving the right shot. It automatically adjusts certain settings to achieve optimal quality and clarity in your picture. Users can also save their own Best Shot mode for that frequent situation. This feature makes picture-taking fun and adds greater capability to this powerful device.

The Ex-Z70 packs a punch in an overcrowded market of small, high megapixel devices. With the race for smaller and more powerful cameras changing everyday, Casio gives competitors a great product with wonderful capabilities. This is a pocket camera, great to keep in the glovebox, in a purse, or just in your left pocket. Its functionality makes it appealing to a variety of consumers. Whether you are just entering the digital camera market or a repeated buyer, this Casio proves to be a great buy. Prices around $250.00 US dollars, consumers will be pleased with its performance.


 

Functionality

The camera is laid out with the consumer in mind. Functions are easily placed on the backside next to the screen. Taking a properly focused picture requires almost no time and with a quick depression of the shutter, a moment in time is captured.

This camera addresses the novice photographer successfully by offering an efficiently designed product.

  

Summary

Combining a series of attractive features, this camera offers consumers a satisfying device in a well-fit package. It’s universal appeal stems from its portability and sturdiness.
