Opinion on the Casio Exilim EX-Z750

Yesterday I bought my third digital camera, the Casio Exilim EX-Z750. I needed a pocketable camera as the Sony DSC-F717 and the Nikon D70 are a bit large to carry around in certain situations. At least, that's how I spun it to my wife.

I thought I'd post a few thoughts I have on the camera here. First of all the size is striking. So much funtionality in such a small package, Casio are masters at this sort of thing. I am also amazed at the battery life from such a teenie battery, again kudos to Casio. There enough Scene modes included in this digicam to cover any situation possible, possibly too many modes. The firmware in this digicam is the best I have seen, ever. I can even tell this camera which settings I want it to remember after I power off the camera, and which to set back to default. I can't tell you how many times I have ruined a shot because my white-balance was set to some screwy setting. But I like it remembering my ISO and flash setting. Love it.

Where I see the camera falling down is in two areas. The flash is definitely under-powered. Luckily I rarely use flash, I prefer natural light with correct white-balance. Secondly, the CCD and metering combination often produce blown-out highlights. The live histogram helps here; you can dial in some EV compensation if you wish, but too many of my shots are having this problem. I can live with it in an ulta-compact though.

All-in-all, I love my little Casio EX-Z750. It's fast, feature packed, and has a very high toy factor to it!
