Casio Exilim EX-V8 Reviews

Following the V7, which Casio called the "world's slimmest digital camera with a 7x optical zoom" is the sophomore edition of its highest optical zoom camera, the Exilim EX-V8. Introduced in August 2007, the Exilim V8 carries the same 7x optical zoom lens...

Poorly designed back controls, particularly with the zoom toggle switch, Overpowering, blinding auto assist lamp during still capture, Weak autofocus during zoom, Noise at high ISOs

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 be...

The Casio Exilim EX-V8 is an 8 megapixel digital camera with a 7x optical zoom lens. It is different from many digital cameras with a longer than standard lens as it retains a compact body. The camera also has manual exposure controls. It is also easy to

Design (a lot packed into a small body) - ease of use

Macro shot - lack of sharpness when zoom at maximum - very strong colours

Picture quality is good in most instances although there were one or two blips during my testing. With its small size, ease of use and longer zoom this is likely to be a popular camera.

What's up with casio? I owned the V7 and returned it because the IQ was not sufficient for me. While i thought about a new cam the V8 came out and i was hell of exited about the upgrade on the V7! The concept is not bad at all. The features look awesom...

Very useful camera, many features. Especially like the ability to load up to 999 own user defined Best Shot modes. Image quality sufficient at all focal lengths and ISO settings for 4"x6" prints. With care up to A3 (11"x16" approx) prints would be OK.
