I have to say my test shots are below average. The lack of sharpness in the photos is the biggest disappointment to me.
If you are looking for a cheaper pocket sized digital camera then the Casio Exilim EX-Z77 is a possibility. It is not the best on the market, but then again the price tag is not one of the highest.
One of the reasons I heaped praise on the S770 was for its outstanding image quality, and happily the same is true of the S880.
I used it in a wide range of situations, including a dimly-lit bar, a cloudy overcast day and even that rarity in these parts, a bright sunny day, and it never failed to produce excellent results.
With the Exilim EX-S880, Casio once again proves that it is a force to be reckoned with in the digital camera market. Although it is competing with some very impressive products from other manufacturers, there are few that can match its combination of ultra-compact size, excellent build quality, striking design, crisp performance, superior image quality and fantastic value for money. If you’re looking for a pocket compact the S880 should be near the top of your list.
At first glance, the Casio Exilim EX-Z77 seems like a very nice camera. It’s small, fast, and full of handy options. Unfortunately, sharp-eyed users will be disappointed by its image quality and scant improvements over the Z75. If you already have a Z75, you don’t really need to shell out the cash for such a minor upgrade.
If you’re simply looking for an affordable, simple slimcam, you might want to check out Sony’s Cyber-shot DSC-W55 or Olympus FE-190.
The Casio Exilim EX-V8 is a capable ultracompact ultra-zoom camera, but mainly outdoors.
The 7x optical zoom lens is nicely stabilized and performs well for being such a compact lens. The YouTube video mode worked well and the stereo sound capture was a nice feature. Image quality was very good outdoors. If you need to use flash indoors, results weren’t as good, with the weak flash and red-eye showing up way too often. Battery life was very good and the camera operated very quickly overall.
If you’re in the market for a compact ultra-zoom, definitely give the EX-V8 a look.
Most every point-and-shoot is capable of recording movies. What Casio does is uniquely partner with an exciting, successful business - YouTube. The popular video-sharing website appeals to everyone from the Star Wars Kid to presidential candidates.
For better or worse, Casio effectively matches its customers with an already recognizable brand name. Even more, the camera model name, itself, is already recognizable - who hasn’t heard of V8 drinks or V8 engines? The Casio Exilim Ex-V8 is much easier to remember than the four-numbered product numbers that modify Casio’s earlier Z-series cameras (eg. the Casio Exilim EX-Z1080).
It is genius on its part, making good on a strong coupling between the digital still camera world and the popularity of the website dedicated to personal video.
