Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z4
The
first thing you notice about this camera is how thin it is.
Then you
notice is how large the LCD screen is. The 2 inch LCD seems to take up
most of the back of the camera and is by far the most comfortable small
camera LCD screen I have used.
Even with my glasses on, most of the LCD screens seem much too small. I
gave the camera to a few other people, who didn't require glasses, and
they all felt the same way. The LCD screen really makes it a pleasure
to use this camera.
Those who ascribe to the philosophy, that you can never be too rich or
too thin, will also appreciate the EX-Z4. It is a very easy to carry
and put in any pocket camera. It is just as easy to take out of the
pocket, turn on, point and shoot.
My assistant (my six year old son) was able to use this camera without
any instructions and immediately knew how to turn it on, zoom the lens
in and out, take pictures, review pictures that he had just taken, and
shut the camera off after use.
The
EX-Z4 has a resolution of 4.0 million effective pixels and is packed
with features to enable users to take fantastic pictures, wherever or
whatever the occasion may be. The
new EX-Z4 is a mere 23.1mm at its widest point and only 19.7mm at its
thinnest.
 |
The
EX-Z4 card-sized LCD digital camera features a CCD with 4
million effective pixels plus a high-performance 3X zoom lens. Its
combination of outstanding portability and high performance has
made the slim, card-size optical zoom EXILIM ZOOM the pacesetter in the
shift to compact and thin packages in today's digital camera market.
|
|
| • |
3X optical zoom lens in a thin, card-size
configuration |
| The new
EX-Z4 packs a powerful 3X optical zoom lens into a stylishly thin card
size package that measures a mere 87mm wide, 57mm high, and 23.1mm
thick (19.7mm at its thinnest point). |
 |
| • |
High-resolution
4-megapixel imaging |
| The
4-megapixel CCD of the EX-Z4 adds new dimensions to flesh tones and the
fine detail of scenery shots for images of exquisite beauty and
definition. |
|
| • |
High-speed response |
| With a
start up time of approximately 1.6 seconds and a 0.01 second release
time lag, the EX-Z4 is faster than ever. A new Pan Focus mode
eliminates the need for focusing, which provides even faster response.
Multi-Auto Focus automatically selects one of seven different focus
point positions to ensure that images are always focused correctly,
regardless of how the subjects are arranged. |
|
| • |
Built-in speaker for audio output |
| New audio
snapshot and voice recorder capabilities have been added, the movie
feature has been enhanced to allow recordings of up to 60 seconds, and
a 2-inch monitor screen and built-in speaker lets you enjoy playback of
both images and audio. Sounds can be specified for start up, shutter
release and other functions. |
|
| • |
Designed and engineered for ease of use |
| A
low-power design has extended battery life to allow approximately 540
snapshots to be taken (continuous recording). Other functions include
high-speed playback capabilities that let you scroll images at about
0.1 second per image, and a Best Shot mode that uses preinstalled
sample scenes to help set up the camera's functions faster, and more.
