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.
