Casio EX-Z1000 Review at Digit.no
DIWA member Digit.no have reviewed the Casio EX-Z1000 compact digicam, which offers 10 megapixels, 2.8 inch LCD screen, and IS0 3200.
“Casio Exilim EX-Z1000 is one of the most attractive mini cameras available. Beautiful design and elegant finish in a robust stainless steel body is the optimum base for building a good camera. Unfortunately, Casio have failed to maintain this excellent quality throuhout the process. For marketing reasons, they have fallen into the same pit as too many others, concentrating too much on megapixels and other sales promoting features rather that image quality. The lens suffers from considerable colour fringing, distorsion and lack of edge sharpness. It is also unable to define 10 MP resolution, making this fine camera delivering only 7 MP images in 10 MP files. What a waste! Furthermore, to meet other hot topics in todays camera market; image stabilisation and high sensititvity, Casio have pushed the limits beyond the conceivable. All ISO values above ISO 400 is practically worthless, either due to excessive image noise or lack of detail. My advice would be to leave the camera body unchanged, but replace its lens and interiour with optimised 7 MP components, rather than overambitious specifications with no other mission than to fool the public.”
