Face Detection Technology and Auto Focus Tracking Maintains sharp focus and correct exposure for a human face. Detects up to 8 faces in a scene and automatically tracks and focuses to capture the moment.

Triple Continuous Flash By dividing the amount of light that the flash would normally use during a single shot, Continuous Flash allows users to shoot up to three photos on a single flash charge so moments will never be missed due to flash failure.

Old Photo Best Shot Mode A pre-set best shot setting that enables consumers to restore old family photos and favorite moments. This setting automatically adjusts brightness and contrast to create an improved image of the original. It even adjusts for distortion if the camera was not perfectly squared off with the original photo.

Exilim Engine 2.0 image processor The Exilim Engine 2.0 -- a high-performance, image-processing module that boosts performance by enabling instantaneous color correction or angle adjustment. In addition it incorporates a tonal control that lets users keep bright areas of the scene bright by limiting the occurrence of dark pixels. With Casio’s newly designed Exilim Engine "Auto Tracking AF" function follows moving subjects, keeping them continuously in focus until the photo is taken. It also offers the ability to selectively eliminate noise in designated color regions, such as the sky. This all means faster, high-resolution, power-saving and ultra-compact configuration.

Quick Release Time Shutter release lag time of .004 seconds.

Full-month calendar screen A full-month calendar screen shows a thumbnail of the first image recorded on each date. This makes it easy to find a particular image.

I love the featuers on this camera, it had everything you could ever want and more. The best interface to work with, very stylish and sleek.

The pictures sucked, they were so grainny and noisy. They looked like 5 meg 3000x3000 cell phone pictures. I tried just about every auto setting and manual going up and down with the iso's etc... Unless you where out doors on a sunny day the pictures were terrible.

Sound and video were good to ok quality, and were a big supprise for such a small camera.

The tv playback and callendar were also kind of cool. Eventualy I returned this camera after two weeks and 4 gigs worth of shooting.

This review is from: Casio Exilim EX-Z77 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Anti-Shake Optical Zoom (Blue) (Electronics)

I've owned this camera for 4 months. Unfortunately the lens broke after bringing it to the beach. It says "lens error" and will turn itself off. From what I have read online, Casio does not frequently fix "lens errors" under warrenty because they believe they occur because of owner abuse. I'm crossing my fingers that Casio does correct the problem under warrenty, or it could cost me $120. Be very careful using this camera to not get sand or dirt anywhere near the lens, or accidentaly extend the lens when it is inside the camera case. The lens gears/components are ultra sensitive!

I purchased this product as a gift for and avid E-bayer, specifically because it touts an E-Bay mode. The insturction manual on the camera is woefully inadequate, and the lack of separation between the many languages it is printed in, makes it very hard to follow. The camera does not come with a memory card, an added expense. The battery seems to not hold a charge for long and must be removed from the camera to be charged. All in all I think I could have found a better camera for my friend.
