Casio Exilim EX-S770

Digital Camera Review

1.9 As the newest Exilim in the Casio’s Card series, the S770 brings with it 7.2 megapixels and a wide 2.8-inch LCD screen. It carries on some traditions of the line, such as the skinny 0.7-inch profile, trendy appearance, and almost countless numbers of Best Shot scene modes. The Casio Exilim EX-S770 was announced in August 2006 and currently sells for an estimated price of $299.

Conclusion
The Casio Exilim EX-S770 shares many characteristics with its predecessor, the S600. It has an ultra-slim body that comes in trendy colors and has tiny buttons. It is as cuddly as a box – in other words, it’s not that comfortable to hold and handle. It definitely isn’t made for lengthy photo shoots on the beach. Rather, the S770 is designed to fit in a pocket and take a few pictures at the restaurant before heading into the sunset. The camera has a Best Shot mode for sunsets, in fact, as well as 33 other situations. The 7.2-megapixel Casio S770 has some advantages over its predecessor: a bigger 2.8-inch LCD, dual recording buttons to shoot movies anytime, widescreen movies, and an interesting “data transport” function that allows users to view documents, maps, pictures, and web pages from the camera’s big screen. Basically, the S770 is a typical ultra-compact digital camera with its standard resolution and 3x optical zoom lens, but it adds a few frills. If you’re going to use those frills, then the $299 price tag isn’t all that bad. If all you want is a camera and you won’t ever transfer documents (or you have a Mac and can’t transfer data), then there are other digital cameras that can fulfill your needs for a cheaper price.
