Digital Camera Reviews

Casio Exilim EX-V7 pretty much an accepted axiom that if you want a stylish ultra-compact camera, you’re going to be limited to a 3x zoom lens. The corollary of course it that if you want a longer zoom range you’ll end up with a much more bulky camera.

* Cutting-edge, non-protruding 7X internal optical zoom lens (38-266mm equiv.)
* New CCD shift system actually mechanically compensates for camera shake.
* Automatically analyzes the velocity and vector of a moving subject and sets the most appropriate ISO sensitivity and shutter speed.
* “Auto Tracking AF” function follows moving subjects
* Tonal control lets users keep bright areas of the scene bright by limiting the occurrence of dark pixels.
* Offers ability to selectively eliminate noise in designated color regions, such as the sky.
* Boasts faster image processing functions that enable instantaneous color correction or angle adjustment.
* High-quality movies using next-generation H.264 video encoding method

Casio Digital Camera Casio Reviews:-

#  Casio Exilim EX-V7 Review taken from Dpreview:- Casio has firmly established itself at the ’style’ end of the market with the Exilim range; with its super-slim all-metal body the EX-V7 is no exception. The materials, build and finish are excellent and like all the Exilims, the camera has quite a luxurious feel. The EX-V7 is something of a departure for Casio from a design point of view; though the rear is very similar to most of the other  models in the range the front sports a rather Sony-like sliding lens cover. This is the first Exllim zoom with a non-extending lens, and the first we’re aware of to use folding optics.

#  Casio Exilim EX-V7 Review taken from Reviews.cnet:- As usual, Casio includes a vast number of scene modes. We don’t know why they refer to them as “best shot” modes instead of scene modes, but this model has 33 of them, including specific modes for shooting text, whiteboards, and business cards, as well as one mode made specifically for eBay. We were glad to see that the V7 includes aperture- and shutter-priority exposure modes, along with full manual, should you wish to choose your own exposure. The live histogram in capture mode makes manual exposures a bit easier to calculate, and the static version in playback mode makes double-checking your work less confusing.

#  Casio Exilim EX-V7 Review taken from Tech2 :- The camera has a slider mechanism that protects the lens as well as works as the camera’s power switch. The top of the camera has a minimal look, with just the shutter release button. Everything else is on the back.

The control scheme of the camera is a bit on the unconventional side, but not in a good way like in the Samsung NV10. This one’s kind of annoying with its tight and semi-sharp-edged jog dial and very tiny buttons. Even the zoom switch, which works directly with the biggest USP of the camera, is flat and very uncomfortable to use.

#  Casio Exilim EX-V7 Review taken from Cameras.co.uk :- Looking at the first outdoor photo there are a number of checkpoints that the camera handled well. In this photo I like the colours and I felt the camera handled the glare from the sun better than a number of other models I have tested recently. One area where it is less than perfect is in the levels of sharpness in the photo. They are not bad, but looking at areas such as the brick work on the building the overall sharpness does not quite match up to many other digital cameras.

The second photo is a fairly standard effort. I felt there could have been a little more colour in the sky and there is also a hint of purple fringing around the tree on the right hand side of the shot.

#  Casio Exilim EX-V7 Review taken from Infosyncworld :- “Best Shot” modes had little effect on our pictures, though we certainly did not detect any adverse effect from using these modes, so if you’re at a fireworks show, by all means use the appropriate setting. Still, our pet was no less cute, and our food no more scrumptious when using those respective modes. The Auto Framing mode reduces the pixel count, and relative size of the frame, to about 3-megapixels to capture the subject dead-center, but we found no help in image quality. We miss the lack of a built-in panorama stitching client. For battery life, we used the camera sporadically over a week’s time and never replaced the battery. We shot more than 200 exposures, with occasional flashes, and were still in the green. We see no reason to doubt Casio’s claim of 350 exposures.
