Announced just before PMA in February 2006 - almost exactly a year to the day after the camera it replaces - the EX-Z850 is Casio's latest ultra-compact flagship model, offering a huge feature set in a very slim, all-metal body. The EX-Z750 was very well received when it was launched, and remains to this day the most highly-specified 7MP ultra-compact on the market. The EX-Z850 doesn't change the basic formula much but does offer a raft of small improvements; there's an extra megapixel, a couple new Best Shot modes, improved screen brightness, a more powerful flash (with some extra modes) and a movie light. As is becoming standard on this type of camera the Z850 also includes a 'high sensitivity' mode, with up to ISO 1600 on offer.
With its combination of fun and functional features in a pocket-sized package, this 8MP from Casio ($320 street) is one camera to make the whole family happy.
Review posted 6/19/2006 Click on the EX-Z850 to take a QTVR tour The EXILIM EX-Z850 Zoom offers 8.0 megapixels of resolution, a 3x optical zoom lens and a large 2.5-inch Super Bright LCD, all housed in a slim, durable, and pocket-sized package. The Z850's battery now has an even longer life,
More adjustable controls than any other slimline digicam plus above average imaging performance.Casio has packed a surprising number of controls and functions into its Exilim EX-Z850 camera, which has an 8.1-megapixel CCD and 3x optical zoom lens. The sensor is larger than average, promising a wide dynamic range and low image noise. The camera's well-designed, all-metal body sports a bright, 2.5-inch LCD, a very small optical viewfinder and a mode dial with eight positions.
