Casio Exilim EX-Z1000 Digital Camera Review

Casio's parade of metal-clad, ultra-compact snapshot cameras in the Exilim line has culminated in the Exilim EX-Z1000, a 10.1-megapixel mite of a camera. It has a higher pixel count than many professional cameras, but no manual exposure modes and a modest 3x zoom range. With a suggested list price of $399, it's not the cheapest ultra-compact around – that resolution comes at a price. The question is: does 10.1-megapixel resolution benefit pocket-camera users?
