Casio Exilim EX-Z850 Reviews: Digital Compact Camera

+ New to Digital Photograph I find the camera easy to use.

- Havn't found any yet.

+ Speed of operation, very short shutter lag, wide range of manual controls.

- none

+ Excellent results of extremely good quality .Very versatile ,with many best shot alternatives which avoid manually having to make the various settings for those special photos. Can therefore be used a "point and press" on most occasions ,but having the capability of greater sophistication if required.
A really good sized screen with a bright image.
With 8 mega pixels it produces superb quality A3+ (13" x 19")prints.

- If you really want to know how to use the camera to it's full potential ,you have to print out the user guide(or read on the computer screen) .It has 278 pages. Well written and indexed but takes time to read ,study and remember. My advice would be to just play about with the camera first, and then read the bits you're not sure about after.

+ Easy to use, as a point and shoot, or for the more proficient photographer. Nice and compact with large screen.

- Manual only available via download. Very small inbuilt memory

+ Very little "Red-Eye" for this type of camera

+ ease of use

- none

+ Quick to turn on and take picture, fairly easy to use, looks smart, docking station is good.

- Lots of settings. Picture quality can be tempremetal - I don't like adjusting settings all day. Sometimes focuses incorrectly and pixalated.

+ The image quality is very good, the features are easy to use.

- The auto flash function on the camera stopped working after a month, had to send it off for repair

+ Battery - Lasted 2 weeks on holiday over 100 pictures. Light weight

+ Big screen, clear even in sunlight. So the bad view finder is not a problem.

- Tiny view finder. Need to use cradle to connect to PC and charge. However when charged lasted for almost 2 full weeks of constant use.

+ Viewfinder as well as lcd screen. Large LCD screen. Many features. Very small -easy to keep in pocket.

+ Very easy to use and "best shot " option really does do exactly what it says.
Very good battery life . Good shutter speeds. Colours well defined and outside shots particularly good. Not yet sure about flash as haven`t taken many yet but think this will need more attention to getting best shot.

- Small memory so an additional card is a must but I expect you knew that anyway.

+ Small, Light, Fast transfer to SD Card, Fairly easy to use straight out of the box. Great battery life.

- Not brilliant flash results but I expected this.

+ Very quick to turn on when required for those "emergency situation photos". Picture quality superb!

- I can only fault one issue which would be a let down - it requires the docking station to download photos. Two problems with this: takes up more space than anticipated.
If you've left the docking station at home and you urgently need to download photos - you'd have to try and find someone who has a card reader. You might find out after searching around for a card reader that no one has one.. Do I need to say more.
