This latest edition to the Exilim line of digital cameras features the newest movie format -- MPEG-4 H.264/AVC recording -- which provides recording and playback of high-resolution video at remarkably small file sizes. In addition to increased resolution, you?ll also increase compression speed so the length of video recording is limited only by your memory card.

There are also four technologies integrated into the EX-V7 to reduce blurring. The EX-V7 is powered by the Exilim Engine 2.0 for high resolution, high performance, high speed, power saving and ultra-compact configuration. It's packed with even more impressive features such as 7.2 megapixels, 2.5" Super Bright LCD, 33 Photo Best Shot Modes and 10 Movie Best Shot Modes.

The new camera also introduces an innovative function for reducing photo blur, made possible by Casio's mechanical CCD shift technology. It also combines Casio's well-received Anti Shake DSP, which reduces blur due to shaky hands or a moving subject by using higher ISO sensitivity and faster shutter speeds, with new motion analysis technology that uses the most appropriate ISO sensitivity and shutter speed to capture a moving photo subject. Even at high zoom settings, the EX-V7 reduces most occurrences of image blur. Everyone from first-time photographers to seasoned professionals will love this latest photographic marvel from Casio.

Main features

• The world's slimmest* digital camera with a 7X optical zoom lens, as stylish as any EXILIM
