Extremely disappointed. [Posted on 2008-07-19]
I bought this camera little over a year ago. It looked like a good camera, receiving excellent reviews.
I just wanted a point and shoot camera to document my everyday activities and it was decent. Most pictures would come out blurry despite fiddling with the settings. I have a shaky hand, so I blamed myself. So much for the stabilizer helping me out.
I also planned to use it for outdoor concert photos. So much for that. Any movement what-so-ever would result in poor quality pictures.
And the video microphone picks up so much random static when used it became pointless for me to bother trying.
The kicker that set me off about this camera was that the battery ended up dying after 6 months of sporadic use.
I gave this camera a chance, but I'm definitely not going to be purchasing another casio any time in the near future.
Beautiful compact [Posted on 2008-07-20]
This camera goes really well alongside my Fuji s5200(digital) and Nikon F100(film). It's small and very powerful for what it does, and I'll tell you exactly what it does.
Turn the image quality, saturation, and sharpness all the way up, and set the contrast low if you want good landscapes and high if you like to capture lighting. What you will notice is that the jpegs are uncompressed and really close to raw images. there's no compact that does this, and its very very useful once you get used to the camera.
The camera is also very durable. I fell on mine in a concert and I'm 227 pounds and it barely cracked the screen and I had to return. Just recently I decided to get this one, because I missed having a compact on me and I'm back to loving it.
Don't buy this trash [Posted on 2008-07-27]
This camera is a beautiful trash!
I bought it 6 month ago for my wife because it looks cute.
However, its battery died after 1 month. We called casio and they sent us a new one. But this new one died again yesterday.
We are so disappointed with the BS battery. Without a reliable battery, this camera is just a beautiful trash.
Don't buy it.
Decent camera, defective batteries [Posted on 2008-08-14]
The EX-Z75 is a nice slim camera with an absolutely amazing macro mode (images of my keyboard with macro mode look like the dust is magnified under a microscope!). My wife and I own two of these cameras. Unfortunately, we were unable to take either of them on our honeymoon last week due to defective batteries.
When we got the cameras on Christmas 2007, everything was great. My battery died in Feb 2008. Instead of a constant red light, the charger gave a flashing red "error state" light. Casio quickly sent a new battery and acknowledged on the phone that the batteries for the EX-Z75 around last fall had problems. An internet search about EX-Z75 will confirm this (do your homework!). In July 2008, both my new battery and my wife's battery both died and gave the flashing-red error indicator on the charger. THREE dead batteries in 7 months. Casio sent two more batteries via 2-day mail with no questions asked -- though we had to borrow my dad's camera for the honeymoon.
When it's working, the pics are pretty good. 7 MP mode gives slightly blurry images at full resolution, though everything's sharp at 5 MP. And 5 MP for a camera of this size is admirable. The flash is a little weak and may give some noise/speckling in the images in dark areas, though outdoor and well-lit images are superb. And the macro mode is amazing, as I mentioned. If only longer focal-length images were so sharp at 7 MP...
Overall a good buy if you can find it on sale for ~$100 and consider it a 5 MP camera instead of 7 MP... though you'll want to call Casio right away and get an extra battery!
Great little camera! [Posted on 2008-08-16]
This is a very good camera. I like it because it is not big so you can carry in any purse. It makes good videos. The screen is big enough. Very easy to navigate through the functions. The pictures turn out good, I`ve seen better ones, but for the price I payed, it was really really worth it!!!
