ProductCritic: Casio Exilim EX-Z75 Reviews

PC Advisor (90)

It may not be a massive leap forward from the Z70, but it was so good before it didn’t need to do anything too radical to scoop a Best Buy award this time around. This is an excellent, affordable compact digital camera.

While the Z75 is not a huge upgrade over its predecessors, it still provides an affordable slim camera with good performance. Image quality is not knock your socks off amazing, but will please many consumers on a budget looking for a slim, stylish camera. The other good things about this camera are the battery life and very quick performance.

The Casio EXILIM Zoom Z75 is, in reality, more a makeover of the Z70 than a major leap forward; that larger LCD being one of the key changes. The picture quality is good though and the addition of that larger screen and widescreen capture both for stills and movies adds a little zap to its snapping abilities.

The Casio EX-Z75 is a beautiful, well-designed camera – fiddly buttons aside. It’s very easy to take good pictures using the Best Shot modes and avoiding the Easy Mode. If only it was as easy to get really sharp pictures, the camera could be recommended without hesitation. As it stands, the image quality towards the edge of the frame can be troubling and lets down the otherwise high quality images.

Sure, it’s slim, inexpensive, and cute, but annoying quirks and iffy image quality keep this 7.2-megapixel snapshooter off our list of favorites.

Should you buy the Casio Exilim EX-Z75? Truthfully, no. This camera hasn’t stood up to what I’d call “Casio quality” and it fails to showcase what Casio’s Exilim line of cameras are capable of. The buttons on this camera are misplaced and are hard to press, the new interface is hardly friendly, and just look at that outdoors shot — totally atrocious. My advice is to shop around and maybe check out some of Canon and Sony’s $199 to $249 offerings.
