Casio Exilim Z-1000 Review

Announced back in April, the Casio EX-Z1000 was the first compact to break the 10 megapixel barrier, though it was soon followed by a cascade of models featuring what we presume to be the same (Sony) 10.3MP 1/1.8-inch CCD sensor. Headline-grabbing double digit pixel count aside this is pretty standard Exilim fayre; friendly operation and ease of use, 3x optical zoom and stylish, slim, all-metal body. The 2.8-inch 16:9 aspect ratio wide screen LCD is unusual, but at its heart this is a point-and-shoot model in the truest sense, albeit one with more than a dash of style. So is the EX-Z1000 a giant leap forward or a simple case of a megapixel too far? Let's find out, starting as ever with the headline features:

Ultra-high resolution presents technical challenges to a prestige point-and-shoot camera with some interesting and useful functions. We can't understand why Casio put a 10-megapixel imager into its new slimline digicam, the EX-Z1000. By our calculations, each photosite on this chip has an area of just under two microns square. This will challenge the on-board image processor and is likely to produce a narrower dynamic range and more image noise than lower-resolution models. By comparison, the photosites on Sony's DSC-R1 or Nikon's D200 models are much larger at just over 6.8 microns square.
