Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 Review

Casio uses a newer Exilim Engine 2.0 to speed up the processing and it handles 10MP files fairly well.

Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 review

Casio Exilim EX-Z1050

The Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 10-megapixel camera has solid image quality, a very fast low-resolution Burst mode, and simple controls.

Terrible screen.

If it weren't for the poor LCD, the Exilim EX-Z1050 would be a pretty good camera.

Camera Test: Casio Exilim EX-Z1050

At first glance, the 10.1-megapixel 3x zoom f/2.8-5.1 (38-114 35mm equiv zoom) Casio EX-Z1050 ($230 street), available in silver, blue, black or pink, is almost indistinguishable from Casio's EX-Z1000, but the camera's performance has seen a nice...

Casio Exilim EX-Z1050

To say that the compact camera space is crowded is an understatement. With so much competition, the EX-Z1050 has a lot of work to do to come out on top. How does it perform? Find out now

Very good photo quality (though see issues below) ; Compact, stylish metal body ; Large, widescreen 2.6" LCD display; good low light/outdoor visibility (though see issues below) ; Snappy performance ; Tons of Best Shot modes (and I mean it) ; Lots of...

Photos and movies are on the soft side; redeye a big problem ; Low LCD resolution ; No optical viewfinder ; Weak flash ; Tiny amount of built-in memory ; Plastic tripod mount; can't swap memory cards while camera is on a tripod ; No USB 2.0 High Speed...

The Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 isn't one of those cameras that I'm jumping up and down about, but it's still good enough to earn my recommendation. It offers a ton of features, very good photo quality, and snappy performance for a street price of around...

Casio Exilim EX-Z1050

The Casio Z1050 looks like almost every other point-and-shoot with its boxy measurements and extending 3x optical zoom lens. But the Z1050 has something most other slim cameras don't: 10.1 megapixels. This Exilim has purely Automatic modes, few Manual...

The camera has a large LCD screen on a compact body, leaving almost no room for anything else. Thus there is no mode dial and the limited number of buttons are tiny. Because there is no mode dial, all Exposure modes are grouped in a menu. There are 36...

Casio Exilim EX-Z1050

Read a digital camera review of the 10 megapixel Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 point and shoot.

The Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 follows up the older Z1000 with the same 10.1 megapixels and lackluster 3x optical zoom lens. The monstrous resolution is the headlining feature on the camera, but its features are otherwise quite tame. The Z1050 is still just...

Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 Digital Camera Review

Exilim EX-Z1050, launched on January 2007, is one of the slimmest compact digital cameras currently on the market, nearly as small as Kodak EasyShare V705. Also lightweight due to the aluminium body, it really fits all pockets. What this camera lacks...

Expert Review

A solid entry into the compact camera space, the Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 isn't the best camera we've reviewed, but the 10 megapixel sensor captures some great pictures, making it a good choice for those that want to make larger than regular size prints.

Great noise performance, Good quality images, Stylish and sturdy design

Some softness in certain parts of the picture, Slow burst mode

Casio Exilim EX-Z1050

Casio's new ultra-compact has been at the pies.

The Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 demonstrates that it is possible to make a good 10MP compact camera without suffering problems with excessive image noise or fringing. As well as that it is a well-made camera offering good handling, brisk performance, some...
