DPNow have published a comprehensive review of the 4 megapixel Casio Exilim EX-Z40, which was first announced at the end of February.

“Casio has designed the Exilim EX-Z40 to be easy to use. This does mean some more sophisticated features are missing. There is no manual control of aperture and shutter speed settings, nor full manual exposure mode. This will frustrate some photographers but at least you can manually select ISO speeds to suit conditions and white balance settings. 21 scene-specific modes are available and you can set your own scene mode based on a photo you have previously taken. Unfortunately, the printed user guide supplied is far too brief and offers no help for the camera’s more advanced features. A much more detailed manual is supplied as a pdf document on the utility CD.”
