February 2nd, 2008

Casio America has announced the latest addition to its award-winning EXILIM line, the Exilim EX-Z80, for the spring season, with 8.1 megapixels, 3x optical zoom, and Exilim Engine 2.0 for sharper photos and higher-quality videos using less energy due to an improved digital signal processor. The camera introduced by Casio late last month replaces the 7.2 megapixel Exilim EX-Z77. It’s 2.6 inch LCD screen is not huge but will do. Like some other Casio digital cameras like the Casio Exilim EX-S880 the EX-Z80 also features YouTube capture mode switch basically just records video at the same size and resolution that YouTube supports so that you don’t have to do any conversion on your computer and you can just upload it directly. It also features an auto shutter function that tries to detect when that perfect moment is before you do. It can detect when the camera is in motion to prevent a blurry picture and can be used to take a sharp image while panning.

“We are continuously developing new features that take advantage of digital technology, and we introduced the Snap Video mode on our digital cameras. By using Apple’s superior video technology we believe people will find more ways to enjoy Snap Video,” said Susumu Takashima of Casio Computer Co., Ltd.

It can also detect up to 10 faces and can prioritize pre-recorded faces.
