CNET 's conclusion / rating - 04 September 2009 |
Maybe it's my lower expectations for sub-$130 cameras speaking here, but the Casio Exilim EX-S5 is a very good camera. I can't recommend it if you're trying to shoot sports, kids, or pets with it, or portraits of impatient people for that matter; the 1-second shutter lag in bright conditions is just too long for moving targets. Everything else about the S5 is solid, though, so if you can deal with the performance issues, it's a pretty sweet deal...

The Casio EX-Z1 offers a tempting mix of style, ease-of-use and value for money. The slim and light Z1 is easy on the eye, even in our rather garish pink review sample, and more importantly its very well-suited to its beginner target market. The user interface and handling are more or less spot on, and there's even a completely point and shoot Easy mode for the technophobes in your family. Officially priced at £150 in the UK, shopping around on the web brings the price much closer to just £100, a real bargain for such a well-made and designed 10 megapixel camera.
As it's a budget model, the feature list is rather short on headline-grabbers, so the EX-Z1 isn't going to impress with the latest must-have gizmo. Image quality is also satisfactory rather than outstanding, with noise and loss of detail at relatively slow ISO speeds, significant barrel distortion at the wider-angle focal lengths, and a disappointing macro mode. This isn't the camera to buy if you're looking for the best ever image quality, but it does produce well-exposed and accurate photos that will please its target audience.
So in summary, the Casio EX-Z1 is one of the better budget digicams on the market, hitting the right balance between style and substance. It might not be the most exciting cameras around, but it is a very well-balanced, easy to use model for all the family...

When everyone else is making 12x zoom travel cameras with HD video, the Casio Exilim EX-Z1 is something of a throwback. Its a relatively unsophisticated camera, but it is at least well made and looks good. Unfortunately its poor handling, slow overall performance and lack of low light ability make the Z1 a poor choice for social snapshot photography. There are better cameras for less money, including several from Casio...
