Casio Exilim EX-Z500 Review

Review Summary
Reader Score: 8.00 (out of 10)
"At £279.99 ($279-$299 U.S. as of 12/21/2005) the Casio is a solid camera that will produce good results. The large screen will appeal to the party set that like to share the images straight after they've taken them and the end results are good for printing too.

Things to bear in mind are the need to lug the docking station around with you if you are hoping to dock on the move and the fact that you'll have to invest in an SD card from day one if you are looking to take more than three pictures at a time. "

"The EX-Z500 is a very slim and compact camera, similar in overall style to Pentax's Optio S range. Previous Casio compacts had made use of Pentax's innovative Sliding Lens System, allowing them to be among the slimmest digital cameras on the market, but the Z500 appears to have a completely new lens. It is similar in design and appearance to the Pentax system, but it is physically smaller, giving the camera a thickness of just 20.5mm. It also opens and closes more quickly, giving the EX-Z500 a start-up time of about one second. It has significantly better optical performance too, but we'll come back to that later.

The Casio Exilim EX-Z500 is a superb mid-range pocket snapshot camera at a competitive price. It has style, performance, a good list of features and the picture quality to match. The Best Shot mode will be useful for beginners, while the versatile menu options will appeal to the more experienced user. All in all, an excellent little camera."

"The Casio Exilim EX-Z500 is a five megapixel digital camera. It is an ultra compact model. This is the type that will fit easily into a fairly small pocket. The Exilim EX-Z500 has a standard set of features for this type of camera and is relatively easy to use. It is likely to appeal to anyone who is looking for a straightforward digital camera that is small enough to carry with you anywhere you go.

There is much to like about the Casio EXILIM EX-Z500. It is a simple, straightforward ultra compact digital camera that takes good shots in a variety of different situations. It is also easy to use and competitively priced. It is well worth considering alongside other ultra compact models."
