Casio Exilim EX-ZR100 Review: Fast Shooting, Long Battery, Nice Price

Casio Exilim EX-ZR100: Top viewA member of the relatively new breed of pocket megazoom cameras, the 12-megapixel, 12.5X-optical-zoom Casio Exilim EX-ZR100 ($300 as of September 2, 2011) offers manual controls for advanced users who want to stretch...

Excellent battery life ; Very good exposure quality and color accuracy ; High-speed image and video capture ; Versatile lens, auto modes, and manual settings

Delays when saving series of high speed shots ; Start-up time is a bit sluggish ; Sharp gradations along edges of some photos

The Exilim ZR100 offers super-high-speed shooting and phenomenal battery life, two factors that set it apart from other pocket megazooms in its class.

Casio Exilim EX-ZR100

The Casio Exilim EX-ZR100 is a speed demon that shoots excellent photos and video, but its high price tag, and quirks with zooming and autofocus, hold it back somewhat.

Incredibly fast shooting and performance. Good low-light performance. Gorgeous LCD. Lots of artsy features.

Expensive. Autofocus was occasionally slow. Photos were often blurry at high zoom levels. Ugly interface.

Casio Exilim EX-ZR100 Review

The Casio Exilim EX-ZR100 is built for speed, and it delivers. This unit has some amazing capabilities for its size, some of which are unmatched by its competition. With pleasing image quality, loads of useful and fun exposure modes, and a sweet price...

Versatile 12.5x optical zoom with 24mm extreme ; Blazing fast shooting performance ; SR Digital Zoom feature extends zoom to 18.8x, and does this rather well compared to other digital zooms ; Cool HDR and HDR-Art modes ; Captures nice 12-megapixel...

Strong CA in majority of photos ; Small White Balance issue under tungsten and/or fluorescent lighting ; Lack of labeling on the 4-way controller ; AF during video struggled at times in lower lighting ; Can't turn the instant review feature off, which...

Casio EX-ZR100 Review

The Casio EX-ZR100 is a new travel-zoom compact camera, sporting a 12.5x zoom lens with a focal length of 24-300mm. The 12.1-megapixel ZR100 has a back-illuminated CMOS sensor, can shoot Full 1080i HD movies and up to 1000fps slow-motion footage,...

Whilst lacking a GPS facility to make it a fully rounded travel zoom like the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ20 or its Leica companion in the V-Lux 30, or new fangled software enhanced 3D shooting gimmickry, the Casio EX-ZR100 is cheaper than both (if going by...

Casio EX-ZR100

High-speed shooting and decent performance, despite some heavy in-camera image processing

1000 fps video and 40 fps still shooting; Solid construction and design

The highest speed video looks awful; Heavy processing can hurt image quality

There are many reasons to buy the Casio EX-ZR100, but one reason it should stand out to potential customers: high speed video recording. There’s a reason you see Casio’s high speed cameras marketed in golf magazines, and it isn’t because of the user...

Casio Exilim EX-ZR100

If you feel the need for speed, then the 12.1-megapixel Casio Exilim EX-ZR100 ($299.99 direct) is for you. It's lightning-fast and takes great photos and video, but its quirks, including a less-than-stellar user interface, keep this camera from the top...

Casio Exilim EX-ZR100

A good zoom on a travel camera is a great idea, youll get closer to the action, and with cameras like this Exilim, you'll still be able to fit it in your pocket. And, although the original asking price was a hellish £299, we found the Exilim EX-ZR100...

Good quality and sturdy construction, broader focal range than usual, one-touch video recording of Full HD video clips with stereo sound, decent 460k-dot screen

Pixel fringing between areas of high contrast, pricey RRP

The Casio Exilim EX-ZR100 misses out on some travel zoom features of cameras around the £300 mark, such as the built-in GPS facility of the Panasonic DMC-TZ0. That's handy for recording longitude and latitude data with each image file so intrepid types...
