Trying to find the best camera is a challenge with many models. These cameras all have identical features while different in other areas. Although people like the digital cameras they order, when a new one comes out, they want that one. The Casio EX-Z77 is an example of a new digital camera that seem to capture everyone’s imagination.
The 7.2 megapixel Casio EX-Z77 EXILIM Zoom digital camera is lightweight, smart and has loads of functionality. It is part of the successful EXILIM Zoom series by Casio, that also comes with a YouTube Capture mode, together with improved movie functionality. This digital camera comes with face detection technology, motion analysis technology, an auto-tracking AF system and a blur reduction feature. Someone’s face is locked onto by the focus, via the auto-tracking AF system together with the face detection technology. When this occurs, the camera will remain centered on the face even if the person moves suddenly.
Typical of Casio’s EXILIM series, the camera in addition has the eBay Best Shot Mode and YouTube Capture Mode. With eBay mode, you can easily and quickly create highly improved images which can be published on eBay. It’s quite simple and user-friendly as there is an eBay directory set up to store your pictures. In YouTube Capture Mode, the video clip is saved as MPEG-4 H.264 video file. The camera can record long segments without losing quality using a special compression ratio. Video clips are captured at 30 frames per second and the resolution is 640×480 in YouTube Capture Mode.
It won’t take a whole lot of effort to publish your YouTube ready movies because the digital camera comes with special application to do it. The application can even allow you to upload more than one video at any given time. You can share your video clips with your relatives and buddies on YouTube without any trouble. A rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery runs the digicam, and the charge will last for 190 shots. It is possible to charge the digital camera using the AC charger or the optionally available docking cradle. With a USB, the digital camera is able to interface with the computer and printing to a PictBridge compatible computer can be accomplished directly. You’ll have options to save your pictures and movie clips on the built-in 11.4 megabyte storage space or on SD/SDHC or MMC/MMC Plus memory cards.
Most users love the small, compact design, and find it simple to operate. The picture quality is not the best due to the very poor noise reduction. Other concerns found by some people include the poorly made USB cable and the image quality not corresponding with what they see on the LCD.
