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

By	Amadeus 106 (Ct) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great overall camera, December 30, 2006

By	B. Pettepiece "B" (Tacoma, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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...

5.0 out of 5 stars ex-z700 (good point and shoot), October 10, 2006

By	Raymond Harmacinski "notqytryt" (toledo oh) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
