Casio EXILIM 10.1-MegaPixel Digital Camera Review

I remember the very first time I heard about the manufacturer, Casio, it was when my mother was looking for a new keyboard. So, for years, I have thought that was the only thing this company made -- really great keyboards. While, this is half-true, they are known for making several other products. However, the next product that is as well as their keyboards is their digital cameras. They are loaded with features, and have a longevity better than most digital cameras. I am talking about the Casio EXILIM 10.1-MegaPixel Digital Camera, Model: EX-Z1000.

This digital camera is extremely sleek and stylish, and boasts a total of 10.1-MegaPixel's, which can capture images up to 3648x 2736 pixel resolution. This is absolutely amazing, especially if you are planning on enlarging your pictures. If you want to make a photo up to a poster size, than you could easily do that with this camera, and it wouldn't loose the picture integrity, as with some other cameras. Another great feature this camera offers its uses is a 3x optical zoom, 4x digital zoom, with a 12x total zooming power. And to look at your pictures directly on the camera, you will use the 2.8" color TFT-LCD monitor, which displays your picture in brilliant color and clarity.

Some of the other features that this camera boasts of is the ability to power-on and shoot within a matter of seconds. There is no need for you to ever miss that "perfect" moment, whatever it may be, because this camera comes with a start-up time that is 1.3 seconds fast, and has a shutter release lag time that is only 0.002 seconds. This is absolutely amazing, especially if you are going to be taking this camera to sporting events or on camping trips.

The name of this digital camera is the EXILIM, but what exactly is that? The EXILIM is an engine that gives your amazingly improved resolution for your still frames, as well as giving you high-quality movies. However, the main benefit of this engine, besides the beautiful images that come from it, is its ability to save your battery power. This engine works great, but won't drain your batter, which will give you hours longer of use.
