Steve's Digicams Casio EX-Z300 |
Connectivity
Software (1.25)
The included PC only software, Photo Loader with Hot Album is almost completely useless. It's clunky, slow, and the only editing controls rotate the image left or right. It's more of a photo management application, which it does slightly better, as it'll let you burn photos to disk or order prints without too much struggle. Overall, a lackluster program.
Jacks, ports, plugs (3.00)
The USB port on the Z300 is industry standard, which means cables will be easy to find and affordable to replace if necessary.
Direct Print Options (3.00)
There are two standard ways of printing images from your computer without Using a computer. The first is PictBridge, which lets you plug the USB output from your camera directly into compatible printers, and select the photographs you want to print. The second is DPOF (direct print order form), which lets you mark the image file with the number of prints you want, then give your memory card to a professional service provider to get it printed. The Z300 supports both of these, but only lets you set the number of prints for each image, and indicate whether you want a date stamp, where other cameras offer more extensive options, such as outputting an index print with multiple images.
Battery (7.00)
The slightly chunky battery lasted well in our testing, requiring only a single recharge over the entire course of our review. It's officially rated for approximately 300 photographs, so it's unlikely that you'll be stranded without power.
