Casio Exilim EX-Z80 review

The tiny Casio Exilim EX-Z80 packs a lot of features for £129 (cheaper if you shop around), going above and beyond much of its competition. About the length and width of a credit card and just half an inch thick, this camera fits into a pocket with the...

The Casio Exilim EX-Z80 demonstrates how small can be mighty

This is a great all-rounder that combines functionality, great style and performance in a neat and tidy package. It's the best value-for-money compact we've seen in a while

Exilim EX-Z80 review

The Casio Exilim EX-Z80 is a solid digital camera with 8-megapixel resolution and good video functionality. Discover if it's worth owning with our in-depth review.

Great features for the price

The less dextrous, or those with large hands, will find the tiny buttons awkward

The Casio Exilim EX-Z80 is a solid little snapper, highly intuitive to navigate, and impressively fast at autofocusing. It’s also YouTube-friendly, inexpensive, and boasts a huge LCD screen and features galore.

Casio Exilim EX-Z80

The Casio Exilim EX-Z80 is one of the cheapest pocket sized digital cameras around. It is also one of the smallest and most lightweight. Taking its price into account it takes a decent photo without being stunning. The Exilim EX-Z80 has 8 megapixels...

Size - widescreen movies - price

Colours could be toned down a shade or two

Small, lightweight and relatively inexpensive. It would be too much to ask for the Exilim EX-Z80 to offer top drawer photo quality, but the camera can take a decent snapshot in most situations. It also scores well for ease of use.

Lots of neat, fun settings ; Huge LCD

Tiny buttons aren't easy to press ; No zoom while shooting video

Alas, like most cameras in the sub-$200 range, this Exilim doesn't have crystal-clear optics. Though color was very good and easy to alter with the camera's white balance and filter settings, photos lost sharpness at their outer edges, artifacts popped...

Casio Exilim EX-Z80

The Casio Exilim EX-Z80 is a tiny, stylish camera with an abundance of scene modes. Too bad its photo and video quality weren't as appealing as its looks.

Compact, handsome design. Comfortable feel. Good macro shots. Smorgasbord of scene modes.

Mediocre pictures and video. Abysmal resolution. Blue-green fringing. Underexposed flash shots. Noise at relatively low ISO. Atypical USB jack/cable.
