Manufacturer Description

The Exilim Zoom EX-Z700 is a new addition to Casio's stylish series of Exilim digital cameras, delivering an effective 7.2-megapixel resolution, and Casio’s Super Bright LCD for easy viewing in broad daylight.

The EX-Z700’s Super Bright LCD is both big and bright: the 2.7-inch screen with 1200cd/m2 brightness is easy to see, even on a sunny day. At 7.2 megapixels, the high-performance EX-Z700 ensures crystal-clear image output for both printing and screen, delivering extraordinary photographic detail. The long-life battery packs enough power for around 460 still images on a single charge, and the camera comes with Casio’s Anti Shake DSP to reduce photo blur due to shaky hands or moving subjects. All in all, the EX-Z700 strikes an extremely attractive balance between slim, stylish looks and high-performance functionality. It also adds brand new picture-taking functions in Best Shot mode:

Auto Framing mode Casio’s new Auto Framing mode keeps dynamic subjects like playful, active children at the center of the photograph, solving one of photography’s most perplexing challenges. This original new function is based on Casio-developed "auto-follow" technology for tracking the movement of photo subjects. In Auto Framing mode, a thin, outlined frame appears on the LCD, centered on the moving subject of the photo. The area within the frame indicates the image that will be saved when the shutter is fully depressed.

Layout Shot mode With new Layout Shot mode, photographers can combine multiple shots of friends taken with the same scenic backdrop into a single collage, or even mix shots with different compositions to create a single artistic layout. Users simply select one of two predefined layout templates, then take two or three photographs, and save the results to create a single composite image. Layout Shot delivers a whole new way to enjoy expressive photography.

5.0 out of 5 stars Casio Exilim Z700, September 28, 2006

This review is from: Casio Exilim EX-Z700 7MP Digital Camera with 3x Anti Shake Optical Zoom (Grey) (Electronics)

Recently my daughter purchased the Casio Exilim Z1000 for me. After putting the camera thru its paces I was completely disappointed. The majority of pictures were noisy/grainy even after adjusting the various ISO setting. Low light situations were a total loss with or without flash. Other customer reviewers on line had similar experiences. I returned the camera to Amazon with no difficulty. Subsequently, I ordered the Casio Z700...and voila!!
There is no graininess/noise at any setting. I shot scenes in most modes and varying "quality" settings. All photos were sharp and clear. And contrary to other reviews in the video mode, I observed no blurriness/graininess. I am using the 1.0 GB, San Disk Ultra 11 SD card. At the 5.0 megapixel(fine) setting I can shoot 320 pictures; at the (normal) setting I get 470 pix. I highly recommend this camera. As with others, the only downside is the docking station. Since the camera is rather small and slick (feeling) it can readily slip out of your hand if not careful.

This review is from: Casio Exilim EX-Z700 7MP Digital Camera with 3x Anti Shake Optical Zoom (Blue) (Electronics)

I bought this camera for my wife and she loves it. The main reason I considered it was because of the easy to navigate menus. Compared to Sony, Canon and Nikon, the menus on this camera make it easy. This camera is very simple to use and takes great pictures. Turns on a less that a second and has a super fast button-to-shutter release. The battery also lasts for a very long time. We took the camera to Mexico for 9 days and using the camera everyday we never had to recharge it. We actually used it for a few days after we got back as well. The only reason we even recharged it is because we were going away for a few days again and wanted a full charge. Excellent buy...

I just want to affirm that the ex-z700 takes great photos at iso 50-200. after that it is a bit noisy. but any 3rd party photoshop plug-in noise canceling will fix this. There is one major short-coming to this camera. (if you are new casio cameras..this may steer you away. Older casio models eg: qv-r* series had the ability to shoot in apature or shutter priority. This one doesn't give you these options. Only way to get around this is to use the "Best Shot" mode and find a template that will more or less fit what you are trying to do. Owning many casios in the past I had never used the "best shot" mode till now. It does the job but it sorta takes the fun out of playing around with different settings and comparing the results. But what you loose in flexibility you sure make up for with convenience. You can carry this little bugger anywhere and with 7 mpxl image you dont have to have a 8x zoom. you can crop and get very good quality 8x10 photos. that required a 5 mpxl camera to have a 8x zoom to get the same reults. the lens wide open is like a 35mm.. i prefer a 28 or even better a 22 but almost all the compacts are in the 28-35mm range. speed is about 2.8. (still not fast but in line with most other compacts) this is a great camera...want one better..olympus camedia c-7070 (twice the price)
Oh i also want to mention that this does not have a optical viewer. (lcd only) another shortcoming but it does have a focus assist lamp. great for low light situations. If you want to buy a very good digital camera on a budget.. orjust like to have a camera around all the time..just in case. you really cant go wrong here. just remember its a point and shoot not a prosumer camera.
