Digital Camera Review

2.1 The Casio Exilim EX-Z300  is a new $400 point-and-shoot model from Casio, due to ship in October. It has a 3-inch screen, 4x optical zoom, 10.1-megapixel resolution, and the option to capture HD video. Overall it struck us as an average effort, although it did have two interesting features. The first is family priority face detection. You access the "Set Family" function, snap photos of your loved ones, and the camera stores them internally and gives them focus priority next time you take a picture. The second innovation is Make-up Mode, which puts a quick Photoshop-style airbrush job a button-press away...

Conclusion

Based on what we could see in our quick testing of a pre-production camera, the EX-Z300 seems to be an unexceptional camera, at least when it comes to design and features, with one distinctive gimmick in its Makeup Mode to draw attention. As mentioned earlier, we couldn't test the manufacturer's claims for exceptional low-light performance, so the camera may become more exciting when we get a final version into the lab.
