Casio Exilim EX-Z55

Casio Exilim EX-Z55 Review. A pocket sized digital camera. Easy to use. Standard set of features.

Design and build quality ; Overall ease of use ; Great menu layout ; Lightening fast shutter response

Indoor picture quality ; Very small internal memory ; After sales support

The Casio Exilim EX-Z55 is a fairly solid offering. It scores highly for ease of use and I like the design. I did experience problems using the camera indoors and it tends to struggle in lowlight.

The Exilim EX-Z55's slim shape and big LCD make a winning combination for quick, anytime snap-shooting.

Good looking, very small, large LCD

Needs external card reader or cradle to transfer photos to PC

Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z55 review

PC Magazine checks out the Exilim Zoom EX-Z55, Casio's 5 megapixel ultracompact (roughly the size of a credit card in length and width) digital camera which has a large 2.5-inch LCD, good startup time, a 3x optical zoom, uses SD memory cards and a...

Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z55

The Z55 has the sharpest images we've seen in a camera this size, a big LCD, Casio's great menus and features, and reasonable speed. But the images produced by this camera don't quite measure up to those of of the Canon Powershot SD300.

Sharp, well exposed images. Tiny and lightweight, extended battery life, very good menu functions, and wide variety of preset shooting configurations.

LCD blacks out while image is processed. Images show fall off at the edges of the frame, flash shots unevenly illuminated.

Casio Exilim EX-Z55

This is a great-looking, 5-megapixel point-and-shoot with a big screen and so-so photo quality.

Large, bright LCD screen ; Outstanding battery life ; Intelligent and eye-catching design ; Solid indoor photo quality

Poor outdoor photo quality ; No burst mode ; Few manual features

Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z55

The Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z55 fits into the ultra-compact family of digital cameras, being about the same size as a credit card at just 8cms by 6cms and weighing a mere 130g. Despite its diminutive dimensions, Casio have still managed to include bot

If you're looking for an ultra-compact camera then you should seriously consider the Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z55. Casio may not be the first name that you associate with digital cameras, but they have definitely produced a very capable camera in the EX-Z55.

Outsized LCD provides a nice view, but pictures disappoint

The Exilim EX-Z55 is compact and lightweight, yet it offers a generous 2.5-inch LCD. The bright, outsized monitor is nice, but the picture quality fell short of expectations.

Light and compact ; large LCD ; live RGB histogram ; 23 scene modes ; useful Business Shot mode ; automatic Macro mode

Noisy pictures ; no continuous shooting mode ; poor video quality ; need cradle for recharging and picture transfer

The EX-Z55 has 23 scene modes in all, including a Business Shot mode for straightening pictures of business cards and white boards in-camera. Manual controls are limited to manual focus, exposure compensation (which you access via a menu), white...
