Ultra pocket cameras: My best value for money....


Casio Exilim EX-Z500
The Casio Exilim EX-Z500 is a five megapixel digital camera. It is an ultra compact model. The Exilim EX-Z500 managed to produce a pleasing set of test of photos.Starting with the outdoor scenic type shots the camera handled these well. All the photos are sharp, clear and bright. This camera reproduces colours vividly and the images remain well focused up to the edge. It also copes well with contrasting light and dark areas.
The camera certainly takes good portrait photos too. The skin tones are natural in both the indoor and outdoor shots. The camera will perform well in lowlight conditions in general providing you are not too far away from your subject. The macro test shot is o.k. but, it is not one of the camera's stronger areas. I have become used to seeing sharper images than the Exilim EX-Z500 managed. Therefore if a close-up photography is one of your main criteria for buying a digital camera it is probably advisable to look elsewhere.
Features
- 3x optical zoom lens. 4x digital zoom function. Macro distance is 17 cm.
-For composing pictures there is a large 2.7 inch LCD screen.
Casio digital cameras offer the widest selection of scene modes.
-There is also a setting for anti shake.
-For focusing you can select auto focus, Pan focus, Infinity mode and manual focus
-you can shoot movies with sound. The maximum resolution is 640x 480.

Ease of Use:The menu system itself is one of the easier ones to get to grips with and it should not take you long to find your way around this camera.
Style : The camera comes in a choice of either black or gold or silver. With dimensions of 88.5 x 57 x 20.5mm it is certainly small enough to slip into a pocket.
Summary
There is much to like about the Casio EXILIM EX-Z500. It is a simple, straightforward ultra compact digital camera that takes good shots in a variety of different situations. It is also easy to use and competitively priced. It is well worth considering alongside other ultra compact models.
