EXILIM

CES Innovations Awards are given out every year to the most innovative consumer electronics products in 35 of industry's hottest product categories. Casio has the honor of being named a CES Innovations 2011 Design and Engineering Award Honoree for its EX-H20G Hybrid-GPS digital camera.

Casio's EX-H20G H20G uses Hybrid-GPS technology for precise location data for the geotagging of photos and videos and is the first camera able to geotag indoors. The 14.1 megapixel H20G comes packed with features including sensor shift image stabilization, 720p HD video, and a 24mm, 10x optical zoom lens. The camera can also display a user's current location - as well as geotagged photos and videos - on a map which can be viewed right on the camera itself. Read more

Casio added a new model to its EXILIM digital camera line, the EX-H5. The compact 12.1 megapixel camera comes packed with an ultra-wide angle 24mm lens, 10X optical zoom and shoots HD movies at 1280x720 pixels.

Additional features include a 2.7 inch LCD monitor, CCD-shift image stabilization, and it has Casio's EXILIM Engine 5.0 which filters digital noise even when shooting with high sensitivity. The camera also includes a cool green-screen effect called Dynamic Photo, which adds animated graphics into still photos for creating e-greeting cards etc. It also has Makeup mode and Landscape Effect feature.

Even though the EX-H5 has many features photographers familiar with digital cameras can appreciate, it is great for new digital camera users too. The camera has a Simple Operations feature with dedicated buttons for capturing, play back and deleting images and video, making operation…well…simple. Read more

Just last month Casio introduced four new EXILIM digital cameras, and now at PMA Casio adds two more cameras to the EXILIM product line, the EX-S7 and EX-Z35.

The 12.1 megapixel EX-S7 features a 2.7 inch LCD screen, 3X optical zoom lens and shoots 720p HD video. The EX-S7 is compatible with SD and SDHC memory cards.

The camera also has Casio's Dynamic Photo, a green-screen effect which lets you add animated graphics into still photos to create your own e-greetings to share with friends. The EX-S7 will be available this spring for $139.99 in black and purple.

The 12.1 megapixel EX-Z35 was designed for those wanting a digital camera without hard-to-use controls and settings. The camera has an easy Mode function with a simplified menu screen, as well as Face Detection and a 3X optical zoom lens. The EX-Z35 will be available in March for $109.99. It will be offered in black, silver, pink, purple and blue.Read more

There were so many products introduced at the 2010 CES trade show earlier this month, we could write on them all year (and probably will!). Casio announced at the show four new EXILIM digital cameras, the High-Speed EXILIM EX-FH100, EXILIM EX-H15, EX-Z2000 and EX-Z550.

The High-Speed EXILIM EX-FH100 features Casio's high-speed burst shooting, 10.1 megapixels, a wide-angle 24 mm 10X optical zoom lens, and has a maximum burst rate of 40 shots per second for still images. It also enables up to 1,000 fps high-speed movie recording that captures motion that is ordinarily too fast for the human eye to see. The EX-FH100 has a mode dial for manual exposure burst shooting, as well as a mode that makes high-speed burst shooting easy, by choosing the optimal rate just by selecting the type of scene. Low-noise, high-quality photos can be taken even in dim indoor lighting thanks to the highly sensitive CMOS sensor. Price: $349.99.Read more

"This is a rugged camera? It's too pretty!" was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the latest entry from Casio. But sure enough, the new EXILIM G1 is a shock-resistant, waterproof, and dustproof digital camera. And, at only 0.78-inch thick, it is also the slimmest shock-resistant digital cam on the market today.

Thanks to the camera's two layer construction of stainless steel and resin, the EX-G1 can be dropped from seven feet and can be used underwater at depths of 10 feet for 60 continuous minutes. It even withstands freezing temperatures as low as 14 degrees!

The 12.1 megapixel EX-G1 will hit store shelves in December 2009 with an MSRP of $299.99. It will be available in black and red.Read more

The Casio EXILIM EX-FC100 is not a brand new digital camera (it has been available since April), but it is a camera we think has features - and a price point - worth mentioning again.

The compact 9.1 megapixel EX-FC100 measures just 3.9" wide x 2.3" high x .9" thin and has a 5X optical zoom lens with a CMOS shift anti-shake function and a 2.7-inch Super Clear LCD. It also features a high-speed 30 shot-per-second burst rate and records video up to 1,000 frames per second in high-definition.

And with Casio's High Speed Pre-Record, the camera not only records when you hit the button, it also records instances before and after. All you do is hold the shutter half way and the FC-100 starts recording images to its temporary buffer memory. Afterward, review a slow motion sampling on the monitor and choose which instances to save to memory. Easy! The camera also has slow motion movie recording. You can actually record motion that is usually too fast for the human eye to see, and then play it back in slow motion. The frame rate can be set at 1,000 fps, 420 fps or 210 fps. Read more

Casio announced today that they have added two more digital cameras to their EXILIM line, the EXILIM Zoom Z280 and EX-Z33. The folks over at Casio have certainly been busy…after all; the EX-Z450 and EX-Z90 were released only two weeks ago. The new EXILIM models are said to be aimed toward those new to digital photography.

The new 12.1 megapixel EXILIM Zoom EX-Z280 has a wide-angle 26 mm 4X optical zoom lens and comes with features such as CCD-shift image stabilization, Face Detection, and an Easy Mode that helps new digital camera owners by having a simplified menu screen. The camera also has Casio's Dynamic Photo feature which lets you add animated clip art to any picture by using only the camera (no additional software is needed). The pictures can then be printed, emailed or posted on social networking sites. Read more

Casio today announced two new EXILIM digital cameras, the EXILIM Zoom EX-Z450 and EXILIM Zoom EX-Z90.

Both cameras feature Casio's Intelligent AF feature which automatically detects even non-human photo subjects to determine the focus and exposure area. Taking pictures of Fido, or even your trip to the mountains, can be done easier than ever thanks to this new function.

The cameras also include Casio's Dynamic Photo function, which lets you easily cut out images of a moving subject and combine them with a different still image with just a single shot (as long as the background is flat and in one color). In the past, you had to take photos twice, having separate photos with and without the subject, while keeping the camera in the same position.

The EXILIM Zoom EX-Z450 features 12.1 megapixels, 3.0-inch LCD monitor with 230,400 dots of high resolution, a wide-angle 28 mm 4X optical zoom lens, HD Movie function, CCD-shift image stabilization mechanism, Landscape Mode, a Makeup Mode, and has a battery life lasting about 550 shots on a single full charge. The EX-Z450 will be available in October and have an MSRP of $199.99. It will be available in just one color...champagne. Read more

The Casio EXILIM Hi-Zoom EX-H10 features an ultra-wide angle 24mm, 10x optical zoom lens and the ability to take up to 1,000 shots on a single charge. Also, this camera takes 12.1megapixel shots!

The EXILIM Engine 4.0 delivers higher image quality and lower power consumption in an even more compact package. The new Engine's Multi-CPU is specifically designed for high-speed image processing.

The EX-H10 fits a large 3.0-inch monitor and a CCD-shift image stabilization mechanism into its casing that is only .95" thin. You will also have access to a more Advanced Dynamic Photo function, which creates composite moving images using the camera's high-speed image processor and provides you with innovative new ways for you to create images right on the camera.Read more

The Casio EXILIM features a 180-degree rotating display, professional 5.1 megapixel camera and access to instant messaging, Visual Voice Mail and V CAST Music with Rhapsody and is available in black or champagne.

The EXILIM meets military specifications 810F standards for: water (immersion and rain), humidity, salt-fog, shock, vibration, dust, solar radiation, altitude, and low and high temperature storage. So, you can bet that this will last you a very long time.Read more
