Casio Câmera Digital Exilim Hi-Zoom EX-V7 (Prata)

Comments about Casio Exilim Hi-Zoom EX-V7 Digital Camera (Silver):

I used it for takings pictures during party or hiking. It provides lots of scenes to be chose and A S M mode which u can manually adjust the Aperture and Shutter. 7X optical zoom is very nice when u want to capture someone's face or someone far from you. The video quality is nice with same level products. But the color and LCD isn't so good compare with my canon SD1000 and it's also a little big to fit in my pocket. The picture quality is acceptable under ISO 200.

I'm not a professional photographer but this camera may just change that or at lease make me an amature. It was really easy to use, fast start up, tons of features, great battery life, great 7x optical zoom, preprogrammed BestShot (at the press of a button the camera is set up to take the best portrait, scenery, night scenes, and a lot of others. I use this feature alot...it's a no brainer), and compact so you can take it anywhere.This camera allow me to decide aperture, speed, isometer system, focus point, etc...I still don't know what a few of those things do but I'm learning. I figured out how to do some trick shots with it...lots of fun.I thought Casio only made great watches and calculators. I'm glad that they now make excellent digital cameras too, I took a chance when purchasing this camera and it's really paying off...I saved myself about $100 by not purchasing the Canon PowerShot SD850 which I didn't think is really user friendly.The only thing I don't like is that you can only charge the battery on the cradle. To remedy this I would suggest an extra battery and a travel charger. It's always a good idea to have an extra battery anyway...you don't want to run out of juice when creativity is flowing.

Expertise: Amateur

Problems Encountered: :You can only charge the batteries on the cradle.:the instruction manual is too simple, it only shows basic operations and does not go into the advanced features of the camera. But like I mentioned before this is a really user friendly camera...so it not hard to figure out.

I'm a professional photographer, but i wanted something i could take with me all the time. Of course with the little size of the sensor you are going to get noise at high iso ratings. if you are going to print 8x12 or bigger forget this camera. I use it for my family snapshots and if you control the iso below 200 you can get very decent pictures with a camera you can put in a small pocket.Video???? get a sony handycam. If you are outdoors you can use it for video, if not forget it. Pros: Excellent 7x zoom, the lens is inside the camera all the time.A lot of pre programed options (portrait, night scene, document copy, children, etc). It is small, you can get it with you all the time and that means you can get the picture. Decent wide video with good lighting conditions (outdoor). Good battery life. You can decide every setting (aperture, speed, iso, meter system, focus point, etc). The autofocus is excellent and fast, it has an option that follows moving subjects.I am very pleased with the results a can get with this little camera. If i want the best image quality, i take my Nikon D200.If i want a high definition video i got a new sony handycamFor little prints and memories on video, get this tiny equipment on you pocket all the time.

Expertise: Pro.

Problems Encountered: Cons.You can charge the batteries only with the cradle???The flash is weakA lot of noise on high iso settings (over 400)

I got this camera for my wife before there were any reviews out and I have had nothing but disappointment with it. The specs are nice on paper, but the image, and video quality is very poor, especially for the price.Pros.Responsive interface.Cons.Extreme noise in video and stills. Very slow focus, especially on video. When zoomed in the camera will almost not focus properly at all. Flash does not work very well, very sporadic results. Avoid this camera.
