First Impressions Review

Mar 23, 2006 - By Michael Chiusano
The Casio EX-Z60 is Casio’s entry level point-and-shoot camera in the 6 megapixel category and is fairly typical of its class. The EX-Z60 has less common functions like an anti-shake DSP processor, an “auto-macro” function and a function to digitally restore photos of analog snapshots to correct fade and color loss. It comes at a fair price point of $249.99.

Picture Quality / Size Options
Still photos can be recorded in dimensions of 2816 x 2112 pixels, 2816 x 1872 pixels (in 3:2 ratio), 2304 x 1728 pixels, 2048 x 1536 pixels, 1600 x 1200 pixels and 640 x 480 pixels. Three levels of image compression are available: fine, normal and economy. These options permit users to do quality 8 x 10 prints at the highest settings, down to email-able images under 120KB. This is a healthy list of options for a pocket-sized compact.

Picture Effects
The Casio Exilim EX-Z60 offers an average amount of picture effects. Various filter effects can be applied to recorded images: black-and-white, sepia, red, green and blue. Sharpness, saturation and contrast are also all adjustable. The adjustments are given as steps ranging from 0 to +/-2. The filter effects are visible only during playback.
