The Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 10-megapixel camera has solid image quality, a very fast low-resolution Burst mode, and simple controls. The Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 is about one inch thick and weighs 5.4 ounces, and though it isn’t the slimmest of the Casio Exilim series of digital cameras it is one of the simplest. It is very easy to navigate. The Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 10-megapixel uses a standard 38mm to 114mm equivalent 3x zoom lens. This camera has the most incredible zoom feature and shoots pretty well. The camera features the Casio’s antishake DSP digital-image stabilization and Best Shot scene preset modes. The Casio EX-Z1050 comes with a 2.6-inch, 115,000-pixel LCD screen. The camera takes 1.4 seconds to start up and capture its first image, and continual shots every 1.9 seconds. With the flash enabled, that time increases to 2.4 seconds. One feature of the Exilim EX-Z1050 ultra-compact digital camera that makes it special is its display mode on the front of the camera body and holds only a few buttons on its back panel. However its low resolution makes virtually everything you see through it look soft and grainy; thus making framing shots difficult due to this blurry display. And as the camera doesn’t have a viewfinder one must be content with the focus. One user found it to be a very nice compact camera with the display being very detailed and crystal clear; pictures taken are good as well as very detailed motion video. Another user was satisfied with the battery lift and found the resolution good too. But to take full advantage of all the different options and settings, one must know all about the camera first. The Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 is very easy to use and its great size definitely makes it an excellent camera, especially for first timers.
