5.0 out of 5 stars Great Camera, nice upgraded features, October 25, 2008

By 

Boston Doc (Boston, United States) - See all my reviews

Just purchased this camera. Tested it at in various light and dark conditions, indoors and outdoors. I have to say, compared to my previous casio Ex-Z750 there is a definate improvement in image quality in all modalities. The Auto Best Shot feature appears fairly accurate in selecting the right BS shot. The 3" screen is very clear and bright. Battery life has yet to be tested however uses the same NP40 battery as previous models, which is a plus. The makeup feature actually does work, helps clear blemishes on faces.
The best feature I think is the self portrait shots. Basically you can press the shutter button, point the camera at yourself or with someone else, and it will take the picture once it has both faces in full view. The wide angle lens is also a plus, whereas before, self portrait shots only allowed maybe a close view of you and someone elses head, whereas now full face and body and background is in full view. Smile detection technology is also a nice feature, however you have to show your teeth in order for it to work.
HD movie is great. Only downside is it is in .mov format which now requires quicktime. For window users, if you are viewing photos in windows media gallery, and you click on the next button which is actually a .mov movie, windows media will crash. Not a big deal, but you just have to separate the .mov's from the jpgs.
Overall I love the camera, the black and silver contrast is very nice. Does leave some smudges but still a great looking camera.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome digital camera, November 17, 2008

This is My first digital camera I bought.
I used to take pics with My cellphone which is really awfull
I just gotta say this Camera is the real Package
*awesome sharp Pictures
*HD Videos
*Lots of functions
Im just in love with the Make Up mode. This really takes the ex z300 to another level of cameras.

The only bad thing I had found is the .MOV ,when You try to edit your movies On sony vegas or Adobe After effects you can only see the video. it does not detect the audio.
you can play the videos on your media player but if you want to edit your videos you have to change the format of the clip or extract the audio and put it over your timeline.
besides that This is an awesome cam.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not honor their one year warranty, April 6, 2009

The closing-opening cover before the len is not functioning within a year. Sometimes it even will fall off. And when I mailed it back for repair, they say it is not covered under their manufacture warranty even though the camera is bought within a year.
