- High Speed Image Capture
- If you keep the shutter release pressed, the EX-Z1050 takes a photo every 1.1 seconds, and the number of photos is only limited by the size of your memory card. The camera also has a High-speed burst function that can take an incredible 7 photos per second at 2 Megapixel resolution (using Normal quality and requires an SD or SDHC Card).

Comments about Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 Digital Camera (Black):
I have a few point and shoots (quite a few), as well as SLRhardware, but I've been struggling to find a compact cameraI can take around which runs silent, and allows good togreat image quality (in a JPG image). Luckily, a few hit and misses later, I discovered the CasioZ1050 and was pleasantly surprised.The image quality is superb for a camera of this size. Noiseis controlled, aberrations are minimal, and the compressionis not so much that there is any noticeable artifacting.Color is great too, and even though I don't use the BestShot mode, it is a dream for novice shooters looking to getthe right image in a particular light setting.I added a Delkin skin (black rubber) (highly recommended) tothe unit for extra protection, which give me better grip andprotection for the LCD screen. I have large hands and sosuch a camera would love to get away from me and fall on theground.In silent mode, this camera is practically stealth, which isgreat for museum shots or shots in groups of people.Everybody is so hung up about getting their pictures takenin public nowadays. When I'm shooting a group, I never getany dirty looks anymore.The camera powers up quite quickly and there is littleshutter lag, making this camera responsive the way I wouldexpect.. Delays may very well cost me that prize winningimage someday.I also recommend at least one extra battery (I bought 2),because of the SDHC card support. You can put up to an 8GBSD card in there, and you want enough battery life to fill it. I recommend the Sandisk Ultra II, Ultra III or the LexarSeries of cards. They write fast and will keep up to eventhe most astute clickers.The menus are intuitive and easy to navigate. Even with mybig hands, the buttons are easy to push.I only found one issue (and I'm not yet convinced it's not asetting) but that would not stop me from highly recommendingthis camera. At the price, and the size and with thesefeatures and better image quality than my G7 Canon, Casiohas created a sweet camera for an even sweeter price.
Expertise: 25+ years
Problems Encountered: The ISO seems to reset to Auto every time I power down thecamera, but all other settings stay the same. I have beensearching to see if this can be overcome, and it may verywell be I just haven't found the setting yet, but if youforget and want to control the ISO, it can catch you off guard.If you are a point and shooter, this will not be an issuefor you. The camera's ISO selection is very accurate.
Previous Equivalent Item Owned: Too much to list, Olympus, Canon, Sony and many others
Items I Recommend: Delkin protective skin, Sandisk Ultra III SD Card, 2 Extra Batteries
