The Casio Exilim EX-Z200 Digital Camera provides 10.1 megapixels of resolution with an incredible wide-angle 4x optical zoom that is equal to 28 - 112
The unique Auto Shutter function of the Exilim EX-Z200 automatically records the moment of a smile or the instant when hand shake ceases by using the camera's motion blur detection technology and face recognition technology to control the shutter release. Other features that add to shooting convenience include the Auto Best Shot mode that analyzes scenes to determine an appropriate shooting mode, plus the camera provides easy-to-use video functionality recording high quality H.264 video, and the special YouTube Capture Mode, together with the dedicated Movie Button for easy movie recording.
The 2.7-inch wide-screen LCD incorporates Casio's Super Clear LCD technology for extremely sharp and vivid images, thanks to its high contrast ratio and its 230,160 dot high resolution. The display can be viewed from almost any viewing angle, and it is extremely bright, making it easy to see even in daylight. The EX-Z100 also has a rapid review feature, scrolling through images at 10 frames a second, and includes a broad range of time and calendar function to help organize your captured images as well as provide needed information when traveling abroad.

Comments about Casio Exilim EX-Z200 Digital Camera (Black):
really nice camera for its size, super easy to fit in any pocket, makes it effortless to take out at any time. picture, zooming and sharpness are great. the smile - movement capture is nice as well though I wish they hadnt replaced it with the old school timer function (I guess I look better not smiling :)

Comments about Casio Exilim EX-Z200 Digital Camera (Black):
This camera is small and easy to use (lots of "dummy settings" for optimal photos given the conditions and subject. Even given these settings, however, the camera just flat out doesn't produce the best results. For someone who is not a photography professional (and most who own this camera probably aren't) I can't seem to produce a clear crisp photo no matter what settings I use. I've experimented with this camera now for several weeks and it still hasn't gotten better even though my knowledge of the camera has increased significantly.
The big LCD screen is great but thats about it. I can't really say anything good about it.

Comments about Casio Exilim EX-Z200 Digital Camera (Black):
Really happy with the camera, photos are great and easy to change the settings through the Best Shot feature, don't think the face recognition is brilliant (or maybe it is the way I have set it up, or not set it up) but would definiately buy it again if the I had to do it over

Comments about Casio Exilim EX-Z200 Digital Camera (Black):
- So far, I have used this camera to photograph sand sculptures, a parade and other travel pictures. This is my first digital camera.
- What I like: Easy/quick to get started. Very compact/light weight. The "best shot" feature is very easy to use and really helped on action shots. Easy to switch between different resolutions. The 10.1 megapixel resolution allows you to use the pictures any way you want to.
- What's not as great: Because of the very small size, it can sometimes be difficult to navigate through the menus. For someone with large hands, this could be a significant issue.

Comments about Casio Exilim EX-Z200 Digital Camera (Black):
I loved my Casio Exilim 5 pixil so because I'm going to Africa,I upgraded to this new EX-Z200, with 10 megapixils. I liked the idea of a 4x optical zoom and the movie button is now on the outside of the camera. I've been playing with it at the beach to get used to it and I love the picture quality. The movie button is very easy to change to. It's a great travel camera. The only thing I don't like is that it doesn't have a cradle any more. I used to keep my camera in the cradle so it was always charged. So I got an extra battery and charged it so that one battery would always be charged. The battery charge seems to last forever which is another thing I always liked about the Casio. The screen is brighter but nothing really helps in very bright sun except your hand over the top of the camera. I wish Casio would put a viewfinder on these cameras. Then they would be perfect.
