The Exilim Pro EX-P505's combination of photo and video features sounds promising, but its image quality is mediocre on stills, and its video doesn't measure up.

Size matters! Especially when a camera as small as the Casio EX-P505 has more features than models twice its size.

Pre-PMA 2005: Casio has today announced the new five megapixel, five times optical zoom EXILIM Pro EX-P505. The P505 is quite a departure for Casio with its SLR-Like appearance, large lens barrel and five times optical zoom. The EX-P505 is also the first Casio digital camera to use the MPEG-4 codec for encoding video, it can record full VGA (640x480) video at 30 fps with stereo audio at 4.2 or 2.2 MBit/sec (approx. 30 / 60 mins on a 1 GB card).

Casio Exilim EX-P505

Although somewhat pricey for a 5-megapixel camera with no optical viewfinder, Casio's EX-P505 is small and sleek, with a nicely-designed and well-built alloy body and large vari-angle monitor. Ideal for photographers who want a lightweight and versatile digicam, its 5x zoom lens isn't particularly fast, with six aperture settings, ranging from f3.3 to f7.4, depending on the focal length setting. However, the 5-megapixel sensor captures 2560 x 1920 pixel JPEG images that range in size from 2.1 MB at 'Fine' quality to 1.7 MB at 'Normal' and 1.3 MB at the 'Economy' setting and users can record MPEG-4 motion video clips with stereo audio at 30fps VGA resolution.
