Casio Exilim EX-Z150 Reviews

Total Rating: 6 of 10

Summary of review published by Laptop Magazine — September, 2008

Rated 3 of 5


There is no doubt that the Casio Exilim EX-Z150 is a looker. Measuring only 3.8 x 2.3 x 0.8 inches and weighing only 5.2 ounces, the EX-Z150 is sleek and easy to hold. It offers minimum controls that are easily accessible. The back of the camera is dominated by the 3-inch LCD. The positioning of the microphone and the speakers leaves much room for improvement. The mic is on the top of the device, reducing audio quality. The speakers, meanwhile, are positioned where the left thumb usually goes to hold the camera. Pushing the Best Shot button will reveal 22 different mode settings. The reviewer noted that navigating around the mode settings was a cinch. It features a 4X zoom lens and has true wide-angle coverage. Using the EX-Z150 was fun and easy, though the reviewer warned about the slowness of the device. It takes 3 seconds to power up, 3 seconds between shots and has 1.5 to 3 seconds shutter delay. As for image quality, it produces pictures that were mostly sharp and detailed, with good tonality. Movies recorded using the EX-Z150 were smooth and detailed. The Casio Exilim EX-Z150, with its size, style, and wide-angle coverage, is a decent camera.
Pros:
-good looking
-small
-semi-wide angle 4x lens
Cons:
-slow shooter
-shutter lag too long
-no video autofocus or zoom
