This 12.1-megapixel camera is capable of some great results but is flawed by the sheer number pixels harboured by its sensor

The Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z1200 is the first compact to boast an image resolution of 12 megapixels, and this heavyweight pixel count, a gigantic 71mm screen and a host of extra features are all housed in a package no bigger than most other compacts

If you subscribe to the theory that more megapixels is better, then Casio's Exilim EX-Z1200 will be right up your alley. Sporting a 12.1 megapixel sensor, it captures extremely crisp pictures and offers a range of manual shooting options combined with a sturdy design, making it a strong all around choice.

Boasting a massive 12Mp CCD in a small body, the Z1200 fires the next shots in the pixel-counting wars. Duncan Evans is our conscientious objector on the spot in this exclusive first review.
