Casio Exilim EX-Z100 review and ratings
The Casio Exilim EX-Z100 is one of those digital cameras where there are not many points that stand out and make it different from so many of the cameras already on the market.
One of the points of difference is the wide angle, optical zoom lens. Although wide angle lenses are becoming more commonplace they are not yet available in abundance when it comes to the smaller, pocket sized cameras.
You certainly have plenty of choice when it comes to colours with the Exilim EX-Z100 being available in six different colours. These are blue, silver, black, gold, pink and brown.
There are plenty of pocket sized digital cameras around. In fact this is the most popular type of digital camera in the stores. There are not so many with a wide angle lens though. This is at least partially due to the difficulty of building great wide angle lenses when they need to be so small in size. Other options include the Olympus FE-350.
Rating: Below Average
Summary: Not all digital cameras can rate above average or average. From time to time a camera comes along that does not quite hit the mark. This was the case, for me at least, with the Casio Exilim EX-Z100. Although there were a fair amount of positive points such as a fast shutter response and widescreen movies I was disappointed with how sharp the photos were. This is especially true for landscape and general scenic type shots where the scene is some distance form the camera.
