Ultra Compact

Casio Exilim EX-Z1050

Smaller than its predecessor, the EX-z1000, which is claimed to be the world’s first pocket-sized 10 megapixel camera, the EX-z1050 sports a large display screen at 2.6-inch. The display takes up most space at the rear leaving lesser space for the control panel. It has a 1/1.75 inch CCD which results in a 10.1 megapixel resolution. Sporting a 3x optical zoom and a rapid autofocus time of 0.13 seconds, it is the fastest in this category. It supports ISO speed ranging from 80 to 800 – a good feature as speeds exceeding 400 results in very noisy images. The shutter speed ranges from 4 sec to 1/1000 sec and is adjusted automatically by the camera depending on the light conditions. Although you don’t have complete manual control over the exposure, you have the option to take you pick from 38 preset scene modes, depending on the subject and the lighting condition. The camera can capture seven images per second in burst mode – you won’t miss the perfect moment in an action scene. If you’re looking for style and stellar performance at the same time, this one is just right for you.

For: Stylish, Good Picture Quality

Against: No Bundled Memory
