 Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 10.1MP Digital Camera November 22, 2008
I have been looking for a 10 MP digital camera for a while. A month ago I decided to go to Amazon.com to check what cameras they got. I was looking for a digital camera that I can aim & shoot! This camera does that and more! The pictures are gorgeous!! I am glad I got this one! It's very easy to use specially if you are not familiarize with digital cameras. I had taken pictures with no background light and they had come out awesome! This is a a nice digital camera & the price is even better! This is a great buy!
 blurry pictures, or just me? August 25, 2008
My boyfriend bought this camera for me for my birthday a few months ago because I love the color pink. I also have a Canon Powershot SD400 that works perfectly, but it has been marked and scratched from using it so much over the past 2 years. As a big pictures girl, I decided that having 2 cameras couldn't be bad! But, I am very disappointed with the Casio. It's supercute, but I find myself using my Canon MUCH more because the pictures turn out much better. Almost all of my pictures with the Casio are blurry - even if I hold the camera super-steady for set it on a flat surface and use the self-timer. I have played around with the settings, and High Sensitivity seems to produce the best shots, but not even comparable to the pictures I get with my Canon. As previous reviews have stated, the Casio manual is vague and pretty much useless... am I doing something wrong? Any suggestions would be helpful, because I know my boyfriend paid a pretty penny for this camera, and it's definitely not getting its worth just sitting on my desk...
 Not Great. July 6, 2008
I have owned the Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 for a long while now, and am not really satisfied. I'll list the pros and cons below:
Pros:
It looks nice. (The outward appearance is very stylish and smart looking)
It has a large screen.
It takes decent movies.
The rechargeable battery is pretty easy to recharge.
Cons:
The pictures are blurry. My husband and I have both messed with the settings constantly to try to make the pictures not blurry. With a tripod, this camera works fine, but almost anytime you are holding it they turn out blurry.
The manual doesn't tell you anything about this camera... NOTHING.
Auto shake on/off doesn't work (...again blurry pictures)
I can't even figure out (and believe me I have tried) to adjust aperture or shutter speed. The only thing it lets me change is ISO. Lame.
There is delay between when you press the button and the camera takes the picture. (Fine for nature photography, but really bad for people or pets)
All in all this camera is o.k. Like i said before, I have owned it for a long time and it is still working, so that is good. I take good care of it, and it seems to be alright. One of the reasons I bought it in the first place was because I saw that it had 10.1 mega pixels, but so you don't make the same mistake I made, it turns out that that just basically means it takes very, very large poster size pictures. (You can change the setting to take smaller ones, though) The quality isn't any better because of it. I thought 10.1 mega pixels = better pictures. Nope.(Unless you plan on blowing all your pictures up to an enormous size.)
Overall, I would not recommend this camera to family and friends.
An Excellent (Exilim) Camera July 5, 2008
For its price, this is a OK camera. What brings my rating up is the huge selection of shooting modes, the video editing, the audio, and several other features. First off: The shooting modes. This camera is a classic Casio in that it has many shooting modes (Best Shot). It has a setting for low light (candles), for fireworks, for flowers (close-up/macro), for pets, for portraits, for eBay, and many other things. The video editing is an innovative feature that allows you to cut the middle, beginning or end of ANY video more than about 5 seconds long. The audio clips are also a great thing to have (although I can't compare this to other cameras). Other good things are high-speed shutter mode that allows you to hold down the button to take several pictures per second; this lets you get the perfect picture of a basketball dunk or of your pet. The camera can also record a clip of sound to accompany a picture when you look at it. Additionally, you can zoom in 8x (without getting grainy) on any picture you have taken. It also, of course, has a timer so you can include everyone in the picture. The only thing I think this camera is missing is the ability to hold the shutter open to take pictures of cars' lights as they move. Lastly, I would think twice before purchasing this particular camera, as Casio recently came out with a camera that functions the same and has 10.1 MP, but is half as thick (and has a youtube shooting mode).
Warning to Exilim owners!! READ ON... June 8, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I had my camer for about a year. It went to Hawaii twice with me and I thought it was the best 400 dollars I had spent!
Little did I know that these cameras are.. well, defective. Suddenly one day, my zoom wouldn't work. Then I realized my menu buttons didn't work. THEN I realized that the only button that DID work was the button to take a picture (which it still does). After doing more intense research, I found out that A LOT of people were having the SAME problem. I called Casio and they wanted a ridiculous amout to just look at it, let alone FIX IT!
So the deal is, these cameras have one cord that controlls most of the functions such as the menu and zoom buttons. If that cord gets rattled a little, it no longer works. SO you will then be stuck with a 10.1 MP basically disposable camera (as they can not zoom or adjust settings either).
However, I must say that my next camera WILL be a Casio, but this particular model.... I'm not too sure.
Hope my review helps.
