Digital Camera Review
Mar 30, 2007
- By Emily Raymond
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.
