Software
Incredibly, there was no mention of software being supplied with this camera. This is a big surprise, and one that we hope is not true. While some users are already comfortable with Photoshop or Aperture, it is more likely that the market for the EX-Z60 will not be too savvy in postproduction and will require a basic and unintimidating software package.
Jack, Ports, Plugs
A common USB 2.0 / A/V port is next to the tripod bushing on the bottom of the camera.
Direct Print Options
The camera is DPOF compliant. However, there is no ImageLink port. Casio uses its own system of accessory cradles which pick up the bottom-mounted USB port.
Battery
The EX-Z60 uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery NP-20. Full battery charge is listed at 1.3 hours using the supplied charger. Casio claims a picture capacity of 180 images at a normal recording time of one hour and thirty minutes.
Memory
The EX-Z60 contains 8.3 MB of internal memory, not enough to store more than three images at the highest quality level; Casio is not known for including lots of internal memory on their digital cameras. The Z60 does accept SD cards.
Other Features
Old Photo Restore Mode - In this mode, you photograph old, faded analog photographs with the Exilim Z60 and the camera restores the color, or so the company states. It even is said to correct for trapezoidal distortion caused by aiming the camera at an angle to the photograph being restored. It is hard to know how this would work in practice; we did not have any old faded analog photos to use on the floor for such a purpose.
eBay Mode - This is another curious setting, a macro setting at a low resolution. It is said to be good for, well, taking pictures of things to sell on eBay. (Casio did in fact have to license the name for one year; apparently, Casio is not comfortable with using the generic ‘Auction’ designation.)
