Reviewer: Nick James - UK
For anyone wanting a compact digital 'point-and-shoot' camera that is stylish and easy to use, the Casio EX-Z70 is for you. Not only does it look great, with its sharp, black lines and cutting-edge shape, it is very fast on start-up and its Best Shot facility is a great idea, perfect for those of us who like taking photos but don't want to be bothered with all the paraphanelia that goes with manual cameras. It takes great shots, too - disdtance and close-ip and has prompted a few envious looks from friends and family, too! Don't be put off by the fact that it's a Casio, either: there's a lot of snobbery surrounding makes of cameras, but this manufacturer knows what it is doing as I believe was the first to produce a digital camera. So there. Downsides? EX-7Z0 can be a touch difficult to hold if you are using it a lot and the battery length time could be better, but all in all it's a great buy.
