Casio Exilim EX-Z85 Review and Rating

Executive Summary about Casio Exilim EX-Z85 : by Andy Needham

Flip Camcorders

The Casio Exilim EX-Z85 is one of the smallest and most lightweight digital cameras I can recall reviewing. I guess the design of the camera is similar to many other small digital cameras. As with other cameras from Casio you have quite a choice when it comes to the colour of the camera you would like to buy. The Exilim EX-Z85 is available in eight different colours including two shades of pink. The others colours are silver, black, blue, brown, green and orange. When it comes to the price this is one of the cheaper pocket digital cameras.

The aim of this feature is to make it as easy as possible to shoot a movie and then upload it to YouTube. This feature together with the price, size and range of colour options suggest to me that Casio are aiming the Exilim EX-Z85 primarily at younger people.

Other features include a smile shutter that will fire off a shot if the camera detects someone is smiling. Another similar option detects when the camera and subject is still before taking a shot. You also have access to additional focusing options such as manual focusing and infinity focusing for homing in on more distant subjects.

As with other Casio digital cameras you will find almost all of the camera’s options tucked away within the menu system. The camera has very few buttons and dials on display. To counteract this Casio give you the option of displaying menu options on the right hand side of the LCD screen.

I must admit to being surprised by the picture quality on offer from the Exilim EX-Z85. It may not be absolutely top drawer, but for such a small, snapshot camera I found the photos to be sharper than many of its direct rivals. When it comes to other digital cameras that could give the Exilim EX-Z85 a run for its money I like the Olympus FE-20. In terms of features the Exilim EX-Z85 has more to offer, but there is little to choose when it comes to picture quality and the FE-20 is even cheaper than this camera is.
