Digital Camera Review

Digital Camera Review

The Casio Exilim EX-Z750 exhibits a traditional aluminum camera body, casing a 3x optical zoom and 7.41 total megapixels on its 1/1.8-inch CCD. The width of the camera is a mere 0.9 inches, making it one of the slimmest digital cameras on the market. Although, the Z750 does lack the sexy look and appeal of the other Exilim models. With plenty of manual and automatic shooting settings, as well as several movie modes, the Z750 is a solid addition to the compact market. The 7.2 effective megapixel digital camera will be released in March 2005 for $449.99 worldwide.

Viewfinder
There is a small optical viewfinder on the Z750, which isn’t nearly as accurate as the LCD screen. However, it’s a good feature to have if battery power gets dangerously low. Users can always turn off the LCD display and stick to the optical viewfinder.

LCD Screen
The back of the Z750 has a large 2.5-inch LCD screen with 115,200 pixels. The screen doubles as a viewfinder and even provides information such as shutter speed and aperture to the user. The screen has a 100 percent field of view from the lens, so pictures framed in the screen will accurately replicate the composition written to the memory.


Flash
The built-in flash has limited options: Auto, On, Off, and Red-Eye Reduction. The flash has a mediocre range from 0.4-2.9 meters, which is about average for a built-in flash on a point-and-shoot camera.

Zoom Lens
A 3x optical zoom lens, equivalent to a 38-114mm lens in 35mm format, extends out of the camera body in two segments. An electronic cap snaps open and closed to protect the glass lens from dust and scratches. The lens, which measures 7.9-23.7mm, has an additional 8x digital zoom. The level of zoom is controlled by the toggle, which surrounds the shutter release button and is easily accessible to the right index finger.
