Casio Exilim EX-Z600 First Impressions Review

Likes

- Movie mode has both excellent settings as well as editing options - Live view for White Balance will help even the most basic user through shooting - Well-organized menu structure for logical navigation - Bright LCD

Dislikes

- Low resolution on 2.7-inch LCD – a mere 153, 600 pixels - Ports located on accessory connection dock - Undersized on/off power switch and generally undersized controls for options like playback, record, BS and menu

Conclusion
The Casio EX-Z600 is equipped with a 3x zoom, a 2.7-inch LCD with low resolution but a bright display, a 1/2.5-inch, 6 MP CCD, and access to a handful of manual controls which are provided with live view screens and simple interactivity. The EX-Z600 separates itself from the crowd with its wealth of preset modes and in-camera editing features with clear interfaces and full text descriptions. With these preset options, manual settings and a good movie mode, the Casio EX-Z600 should give competing manufacturers a run for the money at this price point. Check back for the full length review when we’ll be able to test and evaluate the camera’s performance in terms of resolution, color accuracy, noise, low light, dynamic range and speed/timing to see how it really stacks up to the competition.
