p>DigitalCameraInfo reviews the Casio Exilim EX-V7 and writes;
“The Casio Exilim EX-Z75 is geared toward style-conscious point-and-shooters. The best features of the camera are its slim figure and reasonable price, as it is Casio’s least expensive camera in the current product line. Other benefits include comprehensive Scene modes - 34 to be exact - built-in editing functions, and easy menu navigation.
While the outside looks good, the inside needs some work. The Casio EX-Z75 runs a little behind the times. Consumers shouldn’t expect to find advanced features like mid-range optical zoom (above 3x) or optical image stabilization at the $200 price point, but the Exilim EX-Z75 is bested by some of its competitors that offer face detection technology, higher sensitivity ranges, or wide panoramic shooting capabilities. In general, the Casio Exilim EX-Z75 gives an average performance and suffices as a basic point-and-shoot, but there are more compelling options available for the same price.”
Trusted Reviews - 7/20/2007 - has reviewed the Casio Exilim EX-V7 and does not like its small buttons and poor image detail. Although the V7 has above average features in the end the poor image quality is the stumbling block. It’s 7.2 megapixels should be enough to print large prints however, its pesky image noise and over zealous suppression-softening is visually apparent even at ISO 100 and only gets worse.
ePhotozine - 7/19/2007 - has reviewed the Casio Exilim EX-V7 and here is the verdict, “The Casio Exilim EX-Z75 is a little under specification compared to others in the price range. I am surprised to only see a 3x optical zoom as I know Casio can put more into a camera. It is a good all round performer and the colours come out great.
I am a little confused by who Casio are aiming this camera at. The Easy mode and lack of ISO ratings suggest that it is aimed at happy snappers whilst the vast menu suggests users who want to expand. If you are after a camera to stick in your pocket, that has a ton of preset features, a point and shoot mode and you aren’t bothered about the zoom, then this camera will be ideal.”
Trusted Reviews - 7/2/2007 - has reviewed the Casio Exilim EX-V7 and writes, “Another outstanding pocket compact from Casio, the Exilim EX-Z75 is an ideal camera for general and social snapshot photography. It is well made, sensibly but attractively designed, very easy to use and has much better performance than its low cost would suggest. Picture quality is very good as well. It may lack a few features such as image stabilisation and an AF assist lamp, but on the whole it is excellent value for money.”
Reg Hardware - 6/26/2007 - has reviewed the Casio Exilim EX-V7 and writes, “First, the camera. Casio’s EX-Z75 is a lovely little snapper that’ll help you take a decent shot, no matter how ignorant of photographic procedures you happen to be. Squint into a picture blown up to 100 per cent on a computer screen and, if you’re a photography buff, you may spot noise creeping in - at high sensitivity settings you won’t have to try too hard. But on a standard-sized print, run out by a good print-making service, you shouldn’t be disappointed.
Especially if you’ve used the EWC-10. It’s not a cheap add-on, but it’s hard to put a price on the fun you’ll have with it, particularly if you get out into sea in search of colourful marine life. Even messing around in the pool was a hoot, and if you’re after an EX-Z75, you should certainly avail yourself of the EWC-10.”
About.com - 5/9/2007 - reviewed the 7.2 megapixel Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z75 and writes, “The Casio Exilim EX-Z75 digital camera delivers impressive 7.2 megapixel shooting in a slim, compact camera. It makes it easy to capture a great picture, with simple menus, best shot modes and anti-shake capabilities. This is an ideal camera for someone who isn’t advanced in digital photography, but still wants dazzling pictures.”
CNET - 4/20/2007 - has reviewed the 7.2 megapixel Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z75 and writes, “Given its price, and the fact that most cameras in this price range yield similar image quality and often slower performance, the Casio Exilim EX-Z75 is actually a decent deal and sports a more attractive design than much of its competition. However, if you’re looking for a camera that captures pleasing pictures, you should really shell out a little extra cash and go for something such as Canon’s PowerShot SD1000 or Sony’s Cyber-shot DSC-T10. If you’d like another option in this price range, you can take a look at the Olympus FE-240, though it’s much slower and doesn’t offer as sleek a design or the plethora of scene modes you’ll get with the Z75.”
DigitalCameraReview - 4/12/2007 - has reviewed the 7.2 megapixel Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z75 and writes, “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.”
CrunchGear - 4/2/2007 - has reviewed the 7.2 megapixel Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z75 and writes, “So what does this all break down to? 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.”
Pocket-lint - 3/26/2007 - has reviewed the 7.2 megapixel Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z75 and writes, “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 competitive price and nice looks should also ensure the new model is one keenly contesting the increasingly crowded marketplace and is certainly worth a look.”
ThinkCamera - 3/20/2007 - has reviewed the 7.2 megapixel Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z75 and writes, “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. The enormous screen, 7.2MP sensor and 3x zoom gives the EX-Z75 a spec to be proud of.
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.
That aside, the EX-Z75 is great to use and makes the ideal in-the-pocket, go-anywhere camera. You need never miss a shot again.”
