The EX-Z85 has no viewfinder.
LCD Screen
The LCD for the Z85 is small, and relatively low resolution, but the space is used well. It's 2.6 inches across with 114,960-pixel resolution, which isn't particularly impressive. However, the colors seemed to be quite bright, and solarization was minimal. Because the camera is so small, a larger LCD would have cramped the camera's back, and necessitated even smaller controls. With a camera this size, 2.6 inches is adequate.

The LCD is quite low resolution, but works well enough for its purpose
Flash
The Exilim's flash is small, and placed centrally on the top front of the camera. In our brief, entirely un-scientific testing of firing it while watching it intently, it only produced spots in our eyes for about a second. This is on the low side, but these cheap pocket-sized cameras often have underpowered flashes.

The flash is small, and not particularly powerful
The EX-S65s lens offers a 3x optical zoom, with an aperture range of f/3.1 wide to f/5.9 telephoto. The focal range equivalent in 35m photography is 38 to 114mm.
The lens is a standard affair, with a 3x optical zoom
Connections
The Z85 has a single out port, used for micro USB, and located on the top of the right side of the camera. It's protected by a rubber cover that is held in place by a sprung hinge, which exerts a surprising amount of force. This cover is unlikely to open accidentally.
Battery
Apparently, the EX-Z85 uses a rechargeable Li-ion battery and is rated for approximately 300 images. Unfortunately, the access door was glued shut on the model we handled, so we cannot confirm this.

We think the battery and memory are under here somewhere...
Memory
The Casio Exilim EX-Z85 can accept SD, SDHC and MMC for memory cards. Unfortunately, once again we were not able to access the memory card slot due to the security measure in place on the model we were using. SD and SDHC cards are incredibly common and affordable.
