The 7-megapixel Casio Exilim EX-Z75, announced in January 2007, continues Casio’s tradition of good-looking, ultra-thin digital cameras. It carries a 3x optical zoom lens, a redesigned 2.6-inch LCD screen, and Casio’s anti-shake DSP system. The Casio EX-Z75, with an original price of $229.99, dropped to $199.99, is currently Casio’s lowest-priced model.

Conclusion
The Casio Exilim EX-Z75 is geared toward style-conscious point-and-shooters. The best features of the camera are its slim figure and reasonable price, as it is Casio’s least expensive camera in the current product line. Other benefits include comprehensive Scene modes - 34 to be exact - built-in editing functions, and easy menu navigation.
While the outside looks good, the inside needs some work. The Casio EX-Z75 runs a little behind the times. Consumers shouldn’t expect to find advanced features like mid-range optical zoom (above 3x) or optical image stabilization at the $200 price point, but the Exilim EX-Z75 is bested by some of its competitors that offer face detection technology, higher sensitivity ranges, or wide panoramic shooting capabilities. In general, the Casio Exilim EX-Z75 gives an average performance and suffices as a basic point-and-shoot, but there are more compelling options available for the same price.
