Casio Exilim EX-Z40 Digital Camera

Pros: REAL EASY TO USE, LIGHTWEIGHT, VIDEO RECORDING IS GREAT WITH A BIG SD CARD.AWESOME!.
Cons: THE SCREEN IS GRAINY IN LOW LIGHT, DISSAPOINTING!! BUILT IN MEMORY A LITTLE SMALL.

WITHIN SECONDS OF TURNING THE CAMERA ON I WAS TAKING HIGH QUALITY SHOTS OF EVERYTHING IN SIGHT. WITH GOOD LIGHT THE 2.0" SCREEN REALLY DOES MAKE THE PICTURE LOOK GOOD. GREAT ZOOM CAPABILITIES, BOTH IN AND OUT OF SHOT. EASY TO CONTROL QUICK OFF THE MARK DIGITAL FUN WITH A SIMPLE DOCKING STATION THAT DOES THE JOB. CONNECTING TO THE COMPUTER COULDN'T BE EASIER.
THE SIZE OF THE EX-Z40 IS BRILLIANT, PORTABLE WITH EASE, SO SMALL YOU CAN ALMOST FORGET ABOUT IT BEING IN YOUR POCKET. QUALITY ALLUMINIUM FINISH WHICH REALLY GIVES IT A STYLISH PROFESSIONAL LOOK.
THE BATTERY LIFE IS UNBELIVEABLY LONG, NEVER NEED WORRY ABOUT TAKING IT OUT AND GETTING CAUGHT SHORT, DOESN'T HAPPEN.
THE ONLY THING THAT DISSAPOINTED ME WAS THE GRAINY QUALITY OF THE 2.0" LCD SCREEN IN LOW LIT AREAS.........
STILL A SH*THOT CAMERA!.

Pros: Great pictures. Compact. Movies. Easy to use. Looks snazzy. Whats not to love?
Cons: Purchase of a SD memory card is a MUST. Display isn't good in direct sunlight.

The Casio Exilim EX Z-40 is a fantastic camera! It's easy to use as a point-and-shoot camera, but has some nice user-flattering features as well, such as macro mode, manual focus and ISO selection. User-selected image quality ranges from low, file-sharing range to portrait quality. The "Best Shot" feature is nice when taking night, low-light, or composing the shot as you go. The selections in this feature can also be edited for even more options. Movies taken with the EX Z-40 are clear and the sound is much better than I expected. Audio can be added to a snapshot either when the shot is taken, or later. The colors are rich and the image quality is good. It has a bare minimum of included memory, so a decent SD memory card is necessary. The display is a bit dim in sunlight, but the viewfinder compensates nicely. The only other drawback is the bundled software. It's okay, but I prefer Picasa for downloading/managing the images. Final verdict: this camera is a beautiful, beautiful thing!

Pros: Size, battery life, quality of pictures
Cons: None

I would recommend the EX-Z40 to anyone. Pictures are great. Battery lasts forever. Choice of LCD or optical viewfinder. Can take it anywhere. Uploading to the PC is so easy with the camera dock. I bought this product because my last digital camera was so large (Sony) and I wanted something that I could actually carry with me at all times. I have gotten some great quality pics. Love everything about it.

Pros: Compact size, 21 different modes, Big LCD display
Cons: - None, whatsoever

I bought this camera after a lot of research. I literally "mined" the whole web before deciding to buy this on on compuplus.com. I think it was a great decision! Final contestants were the Canon Elph and the Sony T1. It also takes great video with sound!
