Casio Exilim EX-Z57 Digital Camera Review

 

Picture Quality / Size Options (7.0)
The EX-Z57 offers six image sizes in three quality settings. The sizes are 2560 x 1920, 2560 x 1712, 2048 x 1536, 1600 x 1200, 1280 x 960 and 640 x 480 pixels. The quality options are called Fine, Normal and Economy. Economy compresses the file much more than Fine, cutting the file size by anywhere from 30 to 50 percent, with a significant loss of quality.

Picture Effects Mode (6.5)
The EX-Z57 lumps picture effects with shooting modes, including “Monochrome” for black-and-white images, and “Retro” for brown-toned images. “Sunset” and “Twilight,” with their red and magenta tints, might also be regarded as effects.
