Good Points

Very compact - slips in a pocket easily, but still robust (mine has been all around the World, almost) particularly for 4 megapixels. Excellent battery life compared to my previous digital cameras. Firmware update available on-line from Canon. Nice to have an alarm included when travelling.

Bad Points

No photo-stitch mode for panoramas. Lacks the quality of photo you get from modern Canons, but photo quality is as good as the older Canons.

General Comments

This Casio Exilim EX Z4 was an impulse purchase when I had lent my old Canon digital Ixus to a friend for a wedding, and didn't get it back in time for a trip to Japan and Malaysia. The size makes it a great little digital camera, but I end up correcting the images in Photoshop using the 'levels' setting, since its own analysis of the shots is not the best. The later Canon's have this built-in, and I have newer photos from Canons in my machine and they require very little correction. The Casio has a good selection of 'standard' photos, though. The display is large to be able to see images, with a good zoom to view how good your photo was. I really miss photo-stitching, and also, being a scuba diver, I miss the underwater housings available for many models nowadays. Great camera for taking very good quality snaps, but basic photo editing software won't make your pictures 'outstanding' - you need something that adjusts levels by colour rather than just brightness and contrast, but the Canon that does that is in another price range. If you like having pictures of you taken in front of monuments, sights, views, etc. by strangers, you can take a picture that they can line up with you in it, which is a great little feature. And for travelling, the time zone set-up is pretty easy, and that then links in to an alarm clock with three alarms - saves me taking more stuff on vacation with me!
