Guide Review - Casio Exilim EX-Z75 Digital Camera Review

There are many digital cameras out there that are easy to use, there are many that are compact and cute, and there are many that take amazing pictures. Finding one camera that does all those things (and well) is a rare thing. The Casio Exilim EX-Z75 delivers well in all those categories.

The Casio Exilim EX-Z75 is a feature-rich 7.2 megapixel camera with anti-shake capabilities and a 3x optical zoom. The beauty of this camera is in its design: it's simple to use, and it becomes almost difficult to get a bad shot.

Casio Exilim EX-Z725 Right Out of the Box

Here's what I love about this camera. You can literally pull it out of the box, load your memory card and rechargable battery, hit power and go without much thought. After briefly setting up the basics like date and time, you can start shooting.

Get the "Best Shot"

At the bottom right, you will find a button with "bs" on it. That stands for Best Shot, and it's one of the key features that makes this camera so easy to use and so popular with its owners. A screen of rather obvious pictures is the menu you navigate to find your situation, be it sports, children, autumn leaves, soft flowing water, fireworks, underwater or eBay auction photos.

You simply select the situation that fits that moment, point your camera and shoot. In testing, there were some situations in which the photos needed a little editing.

Small but Powerful

Casio has somehow overcome the challenge of creating a camera that is compact, lightweight and cute, but still act big. This model features a large 2.6-inch LCD screen, it shoots at 7.2 megapixels, and it records pictures, video and audio.

Casio Exilim EX-Z725

In summary, there are many people who get intimidated by the bells and whistles of an advanced camera. Those people shouldn't be forced to take bad pictures, and this camera gives them the best of both worlds.
