Casio Exilim EX-S770

Connectivity / ExtrasPicture Quality / Size Options (7.0)
There are plenty of image sizes available on the 7-megapixel Casio Exilim S770. They can be found in both menus, although they are easier to access on the display panel menu. Here are the options: 3072 x 2304, 3072 x 2048 (3:2), 3072 x 1728 (16:9), 2560 x 1920, 2048 x 1536, 1600 x 1200, and 640 x 480. There are three formats available at top resolution, and that is nice. When users scroll through the options, different information flashes. For instance, when users scroll upon "7M," the pixel count shows, and then the print size flashes. The Casio S770 shoots in JPEG files that can be compressed to Fine, Normal, and Economy settings. When pictures are shot at full resolution, they can be resized in the playback mode to 5M, 3M, and VGA sizes. Overall, the S770 has lots of image sizes.
Picture Effects Mode (7.25)
There are a few picture effects, although they aren’t as elaborate as Canon’s "My Colors" or HP’s "Design Gallery." Available in the Quality section of the recording menu are theses "filter" choices: Off, B/W, Sepia, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Purple. These filters are used in some of the Best Shot modes too, such as in the Natural Green and Autumn Leaves modes. In the playback mode, the color filters cannot be added, but a general "color correction" tool can be found. It doesn’t seem to change much and its implementation is a bit strange. To use the color correction tool, it must also trim the photo, and it should be more accurately called the "keystone and color correction" tool. There is also a standalone keystone tool that trims the edges of the photo to straighten curved lines in architecture, for example. Overall, the picture effects aren’t incredibly impressive but are there for the taking.

Nikon Coolpix L810 First Impressions Review
Nikon’s L810 is a AA-powered ultrazoom that somehow manages 26x for under $300. Some cost-cutting efforts have certainly been made, and controls are quite simplified, but for the right user this could be an ideal camera. Read More...
