Conclusion
The Casio Exilim EX-Z57 has attracted significant interest with its flashy features and relatively affordable retail price of $399.99. This camera appeals to automatic-oriented consumers, as it doesn’t offer manual adjustments for aperture or shutter speeds. Users can change a few settings such as white balance and ISO within the intuitive menus. The Best Shot mode contains a lengthy list of scene modes, with some basics such as Portrait and some other exotic modes like Coupling Shot. There are plenty of image size options in both 4:3 and 3:2 formats, enabling users to optimize the frame for specific print sizes. The 5-megapixel digital camera has a quiet Pentax 3x optical zoom lens with a built-in cover that snaps open and closed. And on the other side is the Z57’s true gem, a 2.7-inch LCD screen, which is substantially larger than any in this price range, although it seems that the most emphasized marketing point for the camera is the 400-shot battery life. This is the same as the earlier Z55, but surpasses it on the grounds that it is using a larger LCD screen (and thus, consumes more battery power). When the lithium-ion battery does run low, users can put the camera in the included camera dock, which has all the connections for easy printing and transferring of images. For those intrigued potential consumers, the Casio Exilim EX-Z57 should make its way to store shelves worldwide in late March or early April.
