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 - 112mm in 35mm terms and the camera reduces image blur caused by camera shake with Casio's CCD-shift Anti Shake function which provides optical image stabilization by moving the imaging element to compensate for camera movements. The EX-Z200 incorporates the cutting-edge Exilim Engine image processing module - all in a camera that exhibits an excellent balance of superior functionality and stylish, compact design, and is incredibly slim. The camera also features an auto-tracking AF system, and face detection technology.

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.

Ultra-slim Design
The Exilim EX-Z200 has an incredibly slim design (0.9" thick), and it's so flat that it fits comfortably in any pocket - so whether you use it for work, at a party or while traveling, this little camera can always be right there with you, ready for action. The stainless steel housing gives the camera a unique appearance, while also providing superb durability - so you can use it anywhere and anytime.
10.1 Megapixel Resolution
The CCD Image sensor of the Exilim EX-Z200 provides 10.1 million pixels to maximize clarity so detailed moments are captured the way you envisioned. Such high resolution means that you can print your images with excellent quality; plus crop into your image, or create poster size photos that maintain all of the details.
4x Wide-angle Zoom Lens
Though the EX-Z200 is as slim as your little finger, yet it features an impressive 4x optical zoom lens that has a wide angle capability equivalent to a 28mm lens on a 35mm film camera, so you can capture the entire scene or get a tight close up.
CCD-shift Anti Shake Function
The EX-Z200 employs an anti-shake function that compensates for blur by moving the imaging element to compensate for camera movements. This is also combined with the camera's Anti-Shake DSP, which reduces blur by raising the camera's sensitivity and therefore increasing shutter speeds.
2.7" Wide-Screen Display
The 2.7" wide-screen TFT color display of the EX-Z200 is so large and wide that it takes up almost the entire rear of the camera, and provides a clear view of your images and video clips. Plus the Super Clear LCD design provides high contrast and brightness so you see your shots better than ever, from any angle.
Exilim Engine
The extremely powerful Exilim Engine combines multiple components in a compact space, provides for fast camera operation, and saves energy. The image processor also has sufficient capacity for the Advanced Auto Tracking AF function, hue adjustment to optimize dark areas, targeted noise elimination in critical color areas and quicker image processing.
Intuitive Interface
The EX-Z200 can easily be operated with just one hand (Use your thumb to navigate the menus and your index finger for the release button and zoom) plus the arrangement of the operation panel on the display is particularly clear and enables the user to move quickly between the various adjustment features. Users can also customize many of the cameras controls to have quick access to favorite features and functions.
Auto Best Shot Scene Modes
The camera's Best Shot scene modes enable selection of the appropriate camera setting for still photos via an easy to understand sample image menu, so you'll be able to take beautiful pictures, regardless of the shooting situation or your particular photography expertise. User can also use the Auto Best Shot mode, where the camera will analyze faces, focus, and exposure to find the perfect setting for your picture. So now you can shoot like a professional from your very first shot.
Face Detection and Face Recognition with Auto-tracking AF
The auto-tracking AF system uses motion analysis technology to maintain both sharp focus and correct exposure for a human face, and the combination of face detection technology and the auto-tracking AF system ensures that, once the focus locks on to a person's face, it will stay sharp and maintain the right exposure, even if the person moves; thereby making it much easier to capture beautiful portraits. The Face Recognition function can save up to 6 faces via a biometric mask. The feature then drives the camera to focus primarily on faces which have been saved previously in the family register, and enables you to set "preferences" for certain people when taking a photograph at family celebrations.
Auto Shutter Function
The innovative Auto Shutter function ensures that you will never again miss that smile when taking photos. Press the release button as soon as you have the faces in the frame, and the photo will then be taken, fully automatically, once the subjects are smiling. Furthermore, using motion blur detection technology, the camera's Auto Shutter will automatically take a photo at the instant when hand shake or subject movement ceases. Users can also automatically capture the moment when their own face fills the frame when shooting a self-portrait.
Enhanced Quick Responsiveness
Once powered on, the camera is ready to take pictures in approximately 1 second, and after the shutter is snapped, pictures are taken almost instantly, with only 0.008 second release time lag. The "Direct On" buttons allow quick startup of both shooting and viewing modes, and the camera also has High-speed image viewing at approximately 0.1 seconds intervals.
Powerful Fast Flash
The built-in flash has a "Rapid Flash" feature that enables three consecutive flash photos in one second, while the "Soft Flash" function reduces flash brightness when taking close-up flash photos. Furthermore, the "Flash Assist" mode compensates for poorly illuminated areas of the shot.
Movie Mode and Audio Record
The EX-Z200 is able to record movies with sound at broadcast quality using the MPEG-4 H.264 standard that provides an increased compression ratio allowing users to record longer clips without having to sacrifice the quality of their movies, and can continue recording as long as there is memory available. Plus, the Movie Button makes for easy movie recording. The camera can also produce an audio snapshot (with audio recorded at the same time as the image or added later), and is equipped with a Voice Recorder feature.
YouTube Capture Mode
The YouTube capture mode records in next-generation MPEG-4 H.264 high quality video format, and an exclusive software application is included that makes it seamless to upload movies to YouTube in as few as two steps. This technology will also allow users to upload multiple videos at once, making it easier than ever before to share original content online. In addition the camera also includes an eBay Best Shot Mode that takes photos at a size that is image optimized for display on eBay, and for ease of use, the eBay photos are stored in a special eBay directory.
Built-in and Expandable Memory
The EX-Z200 has 12.1 MB of internal memory so you can start shooting immediately. The storage capacity can also be greatly expanded with a Secure Digital (SD), Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC) or MultiMediaCard (MMC), so you can save large numbers of photos and record movies in excess of an hour or more in duration.
Super-Life Battery
The EX-Z200 is extremely efficient in its power usage and includes a high capacity NP-40 rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery which provides so much power, that the camera is ready for use at that decisive moment and takes over 200 shots on a full charge.
Direct Print Capable
The EX-Z200 supports PictBridge Direct printing so you can print out beautiful images with out the need of a computer. Just connect the camera to a PictBrige compatible printer and print your favorite pictures the way you want them - it is that easy.

      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.

      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.
