Casio's Exilim EX-Z850 Reviewed at DigitalReviews
Posted by Damion Chaplin in "HARDWARE" @ 05:00 PM
"Casio announced the Exilim EX-Z850 on Feb 21 this year to replace its previous top model, the Z750. For this initial review I値l do something different: I知 going through the Features List from the press release for the Casio Exilim EX-Z850 step by step as this contains an excellent guide to what the Z850 is all about. With every step I値l tell you my observations. So you値l be able to see how marketing hype stacks up with user reality. And, as usual, we値l have plenty of illustrations and pics to complement the story. For bandwidth reasons we値l limit these to small, Saved for Web, JPGs with a couple of exceptions where you can click on the image for a decent enlargement. This is not a high-tech, count-the-pixels review for three good reasons: we look at the QfM (Quality for Money) factor; the Casio Exilim EX-Z850 is aimed at the Point & Shoot market where user-friendliness is key; in-depth and comparative reviews (which we do as well) take heaps of time over sometimes many months. With these provisos behind us, let痴 click away."
Although he says it's not an in-depth review, it's certainly no Quick Look. :wink: The EX-Z850 looks like a really nice $400 P&S camera. I could really go for that anti-shake DSP! I'm glad to see it becoming more common on mid-range cameras (since that's what I'm most likely to buy next). A very informative (albeit somewhat disjointed) review. Check it out!
