Casio Exilim EX-Z70
The EXILIM series has a reputation for transforming the digital camera market. Slim and stylish, packed with superior functionality, and astonishingly easy to use, EXILIM cameras combine the benefits of compact size, intuitive controls, large displays, and long battery life. The release of the new EX-Z70 complements the already available EX-Z60, a high-performance, 6.0 megapixel model released earlier this year. The EX-Z70 increases the resolution to 7.2 megapixels for even more detailed, beautiful photographs.

FEATURES
COMFORTABLE
2.5-inch TFT colour display
Gigantic views: With a full 2.5-inch the TFT colour display of the EX-Z70 is so large that it takes up almost the entire back of the camera. You can then use it to obtain a precise view of your motifs, stored photos or movies in crystal clear reproduction.
Easy Mode
Set for good photos: In Easy Mode you just take good photos in every situation with your EX-Z70 , without having to check presets - or accidentally making a wrong adjustment.
Icon Help function
Questions on how it works? Many of the EXILIM ZOOM EX-Z70 functions are all but self-explanatory. The Icon Help function stands for small, helpful flashes on the camera screen that tell you about the setting you have currently selected.
AV socket
TV show instead of slide lecture: Invite your friends and relations to enjoy the best movies and photos in large-scale format. You simply connect your EXILIM ZOOM EX-Z70 to a TV using the AV output.
FAST Highspeed Image Scrolling function
Are you looking for something? With the Highspeed Image Scrolling function you can scroll through ten shots a second and thus find the right one quickly.
Quick Response
Impulsive people don't like waiting. And you don't have to either because with the EX-Z70 the time between focussing and pressing the button is only about 0.002 seconds.
Auto Macro function
Get closer! The Auto Macro function ensures sharpness in details or smaller settings. The EX-Z70 has focussing ranges of between 10 cm and 50 cm in macro range, i.e. close range.
Rapid Flash
Do you want to take a photo in the dark and are unable to judge the right moment correctly? With the Rapid Flash function, three photos are taken with flash in the space of just one second, ensuring that you no longer miss those wonderful moments.
High-speed image continuous recording
One after the other; If you keep the shutter release pressed, the EX-Z70 takes a photo every 0.8 seconds*.The number of photos is only limited by the size of your memory card. You can even take 3 photos per second with this system for taking photos rapidly one after the other.
*Quality: Normal, resolution: 3.072 x 2.304 Pixel, flash off. Deviations are possible depending on the CD card used.
INDIVIDUELL
 Designer metal case
A piece of jewellery: The silver metal case of the EXILIM ZOOM EX-Z70 is exclusively made from finest quality materials. Thus the camera possesses the strikingly elegant brilliance of the authentic EXILIM.
Key-Tones
Listen in: Choose the sounds played when you switch the camera on, half or fully depress the release button and pressing other buttons.
Calendar
 Diary: The calendar function offers a new way to store your photos. For each day that you have taken a picture, a photo is displayed as an example. In this way you can find pictures more easily or you can make a photo diary. At a glance you can see parts of what you experienced on vacation on that particular day.
Button Customizer
As you like: Use the Button Customizer to assign one of five functions to the EXILIM ZOOM EX-Z70 cursor keys. Then you will have quick access to EV displacement, white balance, ISO setting, metering and self-timer.
INTELLIGENT
3x optical zoom
Very close up: The quality lens of the EX-Z70 makes the 3x optical zoom possible. You simply get closer to the motif with the practical zoom rocker switch.
Memory card slot for SD and MMC memory cards
As you like: The EX-Z70 can save your photos and movies either on MMC memory cards or on SD cards. You can decide as and when you want to which of these optionally available cards you use.
USB Direct Print / PictBridge
No computer needed: you can connect the EXILIM ZOOM EX-Z70 directly to various printers and have your pictures in your hand shortly afterwards printed on photo paper. USB Direct Print ist the standard EPSON printer. PictBridge connects your camera to different manufacturers' printers. Preset paper sizes help to select the right format.
Exposure warning
It is not always possible to assess a fault in lighting before taking the picture. When the release button is pressed down half way, the exposure warning is activated and draws your attention automatically to under or over lighting.
