“Wow - what an awesome camera! The salesperson told me...”

written by macta on 21/06/2005

Good Points
Amazing battery life, innovative features, standard memory card, small size but massive screen and takes good pictures. Also - not the most expensive in its field.

Bad Points
I would prefer it if it didn't have the extending lens (i.e. like the Sony) as its one less thing to potentially break.

General Comments
Wow - what an awesome camera! The salesperson told me - "Casio, they make watches you should buy from a known camera maker like Canon".



I searched the internet, compared features and decided to ignore him. (This following review really sold it to me: http://www.kenrockwell.com/casio/exz750.htm#intro).



I'm so glad I did! I've had a Canon camera for a long time, but the batter always let me down. Its a shame having to carry an extra one, and always turn the screen off - but even the newer canon's seem short on battery life. The Z750 lasted 2 days of continuous use - I took about 600 pictures and 20 videos.



I can't begin to tell you my amazement of innovative features like - recording sound with your picture (take a snapshot then talk about what it was - perfect for later creating video CD's). Or even more brilliantly - recording past history - no I'm not crazy, a 5 second buffer keeps recording so when you decide to get that little mpg4 movie clip you didn't miss what just happened.



Why has no-one thought of these before - ingenious!



The pictures are great. The camera is also very fast!!!!



The camera also appears as a disk on your computer so you can use any software to get the shots off (even just copy paste - with usb2.0 is very fast).



Finally - there are lots of manual controls along with really cool Best Shot settings that set the camera up for you for night shots, or landscape etc. Even neater - you can take a picture using your custom settings and then add it to the best shop menu to recall those settings later (great for tweaking night shots without a flash, and high iso - and then recalling it time and time again).



This is a camera that will grow with you. There are some messages on other camera forums indicating potential lens errors (but then I saw those for canon cameras as well) and I haven't had this problem.



I gave image quality a 9/10 as I am quite picky - and to get 10 I'm not sure any small camera can achieve this. However the whole package is absolutely stunning - this is a fun and ingenious camera. More vendors should look at what Casio has done.
