TrustedReviews reviews the Casio Exilim EX-Z33 and writes:
“For a cheap budget compact the Casio Exilim EX-Z33 offers decent build quality, simplicity of use and surprisingly good performance, but its very poor low light focusing and disappointing image quality are serious handicaps. Better to save up a few more pounds and get something a bit more capable.”
CNET writes:
“The good: Good photo quality for the money; one-button video capture. The bad: Slow shooting performance; short battery life. The bottom line: As long as you and your subject aren’t in a hurry, the Casio Exilim is a respectable budget-priced ultracompact.”
Rating: ★★★☆☆
Steve’sDigicams reviews the Casio Exilim EX-Z33 and writes:
“For an entry-level camera, the low and mid ISO settings are very good. ISO 64 – 400 are sharp enough to show fine details, such as the stitching in the flag, while noise doesn’t become apparent until ISO 400. Although the noise at ISO 1600 really hurts the quality of the image, ISO 800 is not too bad and works for smaller prints.”
