The Casio EX-s7 camera features it’s celebrated Dynamic Photo, a Hollywood-like green-screen effect which adds animated graphics into still photos where users can create unique e-greetings to share with friends and family.

Dynamic Photo gives the power to create original and artistic visuals that can be emailed, posted on social networks and even printed out at home.

Developed with Casio’s latest Exilim Engine 5.0, which delivers higher image quality and lower power consumption, this camera is a 12.1 effective megapixel digital camera  with a 3X optical zoom lens  and a 2.7 inch, high-quality LCD screen. With a quick-access dedicated movie button, users can record memorable moments in 720p high-definition (HD). Additionally, this is compatible with SD memory cards.

This camera has made even further advances from its Engine 4.0, which contained both an ordinary CPU and a high-speed dedicated image processing CPU.

The new Engine 5.0 increases image processing speed by 30% and produces beautiful images through advanced color reproduction and rich tonal gradation and by removing noise from photos in high sensitivity mode.

Casio has achieved great advancements in Dynamic Photo, a function that creates “moving photos” by cutting moving subjects from the background in images taken with continuous shooting and combining those images on a different still image. In addition to composites made with a still image background, cut-out moving images can now be pasted on other moving images. This new capability raises the power of expression of images. Thus, while increasing the “fun of creating images,” these models will also increase the “fun of sharing images” by making it easy to upload images to YouTube using the included software or post them to a blog.

This camera is a 12.1 effective megapixel model with a 3X optical zoom lens, and its slim body (.78 inches at the thinnest point) won’t take up much room in a pocket or purse. The new Casio camera automatically detects people’s faces, allowing users to take well focused and beautifully exposed pictures of the faces of their intended subjects. Using easy Mode, photo settings are restricted to just image size, flash on/off and self timer, and these are displayed on a simplified menu screen.

With much excitement, Casio’s highly anticipated EX-FC150, featuring 10.1MP, 5X optical zoom lens and Casio’s exclusive High Speed capture technologies, has arrived to North America. The new Casio EX-FC150 makes using High Speed capture easier. By combining two popular modes found in its predecessor, the EX-FC100, the Casio Exilim FC150 is equipped with easy-to-use shutter-lag eliminating Best Shot scene modes. By automating Casio’s High Speed Pre-Recording and lightning-fast Continuous Burst modes into five simple Best Shot modes, The Casio Exilim EX-FC150 ensures the shot is never missed.

“I found the EX-Z800 to be quite a responsive camera, focusing quickly in most conditions. The face detection system works very well also, locking onto faces in the scene very swiftly. Images have pleasing contrast and color saturation in most cases, making them ideal for print straight from the camera. The image quality only degrades further as the ISO is increased, but results are still fair until ISO1600“

“The FH100 is obviously a great camera for capturing fast-moving subjects and helping you not to miss that decisive moment, with an almost overwhelming array of different options and shooting modes on offer. The ability to take 40 images in one second at the touch of a button is amazing for any camera, DSLR or compact, and if you can’t choose the best shot, then the EX-FH100 can do that for you too. The only slight downsides are the small reduction in resolution to 9 megapixels, which applies to all of this camera’s high-speed still image functions, and the fact that you can actually only record 30 images at that headline-grabbing 40fps.”

Digital cameras are constantly developing and evolving new levels of “beautiful imagery” and “convenient shooting functions.” This new module quickly processes complex images, making it possible for customers to shoot and view wonderful photos with simplicity and ease.

Tele photo shooting and Night scenes
The lens zooms from 28mm to 112mm (35mm film camera equivalent). Users can enjoy a wide range of shooting options, from wide angle photography that is convenient when shooting large objects or many people in a small space, to telephoto shooting which brings distant subjects close. The Exilim Z250 can automatically detect night situations where there would normally be camera shake if a tripod wasn’t used. Users get clear, bright photographs of both people and night scenes as the camera compensates for camera shake.

Casio EX-Z250 captures beautiful portraits
This all means that users get great, well-balanced photos of family and friends against any background with no more worry than it takes to press the shutter button. The EX-Z250 digital camera also features a Makeup function that creates beautiful photographs of people’s faces: high end image processing can smooth skin and soften facial shadows caused by sunlight. The photographer gets to choose to apply such image processing at one of twelve levels, from weak through strong, and can shoot while checking the results of the effects in the LCD monitor. At last, a camera that brings out all the beauty of the human face, creating images worthy of keeping forever as special memories.

“Not every digital camera can get top marks. I found the picture quality struggled to match the better cameras and the price of the Casio Exilim EX-Z250 is not low enough to compensate for this.”

The is a slim, high-quality, card-sized camera that is just 17.8 mm thick and only 14.9 mm at its thinnest part. This camera sports a 4X optical zoom lens  that starts at a 27 mm wide-angle view (35 mm film camera equivalent) and is capable of taking images with an effective resolution of 14.1 megapixels, while packing numerous other camera features such as Casio’s CCD-shift image stabilization mechanism in a slim, compact and stylish body.

The Exilim S200 is described as a lifestyle camera by Casio, due to the inclusion of features to aid ease of use and due to it’s slim, compact dimensions.

A 14 megapixel CCD sensor lies at the heart of the EX-S200, which should provide images with ample resolution for very large prints. A 4x zoom lens covering a useful range equivalent to 27-108mm does the job of forming an image, and image stabilisation is taken care of by a CCD shift mechanism, which should allow sharp images to be taken at slower shutter speeds. To extend the zoom range further, Casio have included a feature which reduces the resolution once the zoom has reached it’s telephoto limit, rather than upsampling the image like traditional digital zoom system do. This should give very little loss of quality in practice.

Premium Auto enables the camera to automatically analyze the scene being photographed – including distinguishing night scenes, back lighting, a blue sky, green trees or a sunset – as well as sensing whether there is a face in the frame, the movement and position of the subject, and whether a tripod is being used. It simultaneously optimizes settings for exposure, ISO, sensitivity, focus location, photo blur correction, tonal range and color balance, and level of noise reduction. Images are analyzed pixel by pixel to apply different correction to people and backgrounds. Premium Auto delivers an advanced level of full auto photography, ensuring high quality photos with just a press of the shutter button.

This camera uses a flat lens barrel and lens ring to achieve a thin and stylish card-sized body that smoothly combines contrasting geometric shapes.

The new Casio camera was designed with an emphasis on functionality and simplicity, achieving a design that is at once elegant and understated. This digital camera comes in five different colors: silver, orange, blue, black, and pink. The Quick Mode function powers on the camera with a press of the shutter button, previews a photo after shooting, and automatically powers down. Combined with the portability of the card-sized body, Quick Mode ensures that the user will never miss a photo opportunity.

The Casio S200 camera offers Casio’s original Dynamic Photo function, which makes it easy for users to create “moving photos” right on the camera by cutting moving subjects from the background in images taken with continuous shooting, and combining those images on a different still or moving image background. With Dynamic Photo on the new Casio camera, it is possible to make multiple characters move independently of each other against a background of moving images up to as long as 20 seconds. These capabilities not only make it more fun to create images, but also offer the fun of sharing images by making it easy to upload images to YouTube using the included software or post them to a blog.

This digital camera uses super resolution technology to analyze and optimally process the respective areas of the photo.

The S200 camera uses super resolution technology to respectively enhance edges, flat areas and textures when enlarging images, by analyzing and adjusting the contours in images and the relief of the subject. The Single Frame SR Zoom extends the maximum telephoto range of the optical zoom up to 1.5 times, while reducing image quality degradation. The Casio Exilim EX-S200 offers a 6X zoom range that maintains image quality for 14.1-megapixel high-resolution photography when using the optical zoom with the Single Frame SR Zoom.

Reviews

Ephotozine reviews writes:
“The EX-S200 produces images with no significant noise up to ISO200, where a little noise starts to creep into the shadows, but the levels are still quite low and won’t really affect the quality of printed images. A 14 megapixel sensor as found in the EX-200 will be quite demanding on the quality of the lens.“

Product Information

HIGH SPEED MOVIE
Video Capture at up to 1,000 fps
The Casio Exilim EX-FH25 is the next evolution of digital imaging. This feature allows you to easily shoot ultra slow-motion movies at speeds that have until now been available only on professional level cameras. Imagine capturing dramatic moments that cannot be seen by the naked eye, making the invisible visible.

Settings for 210fps, 420fps and variable 30-210fps are also included with the camera. While 30-210fps is selected, you can toggle the movie recording speed between 30fps and 210fps, giving you the versatility to match recording speed to the action.

HIGH SPEED BURST
Up to 40 fps at full resolution
The EX-FH25 can shoot at an amazing 40 frames per second in High Speed Burst mode. This allows you to capture up to 40 images with a single press of the button. After the images have been taken you simply save one, two or all of the images to capture the perfect moment.

20X OPTICAL ZOOM
Incredible zoom with digital stabilization
20X optical zoom combines with a CMOS shift stabilization for beautiful images even at high zoom factors where images are prone to blurring.

FLASH CONTINUOUS SHOOTING
Continuous shutter even where lighting is dim
An ultra wide angle 26mm lens reaching to 520mm allows a wide range of capture options. An Ultra wide angle lens allows for capture of grand vistas, or confined interior shots with not much room to maneuver. Its 20X long zoom with anti-shake will reach out to bring subjects into full view without the need for cumbersome tripods.

BACK ILLUMINATED CMOS
Metal wiring compromising the effectiveness of the light-sensitive area was moved to the back of the photo sensor, thus increasing the light gathering efficiency of the sensor. The result is increased light sensitivity and faster shutter speeds in low light situations, resulting in a more pleasing picture quality.

PRERECORD CS
High-speed recording of action that occurs before you press the shutter button
The EX-FH25 allows you to capture the perfect moment even if you press the button too late. With the amazing pre-record function the camera begins taking pictures before you fully press the button giving you the ability to virtually travel back in time so that you never miss the action. This function works by storing up to 40 images in a buffer on the camera. When the button is pressed the images in the buffer are saved along with your newly recorded imagery.

HIGH-DEFINITION MOVE
DVD-quality video
The EX-FH25 lets you shoot beautiful 1280 x 720-pixel HD movies at a rate of 30 frames per second. After your video is recorded you can view it by connecting your camera directly to a Full HD TV for big screen viewing. The EX-FH25 also comes with USB cables and software that allows you to view your HD films on your computer or to burn them to a DVD.

BEST SHOT CONTINUOUS
Casio’s exclusive Pre-Record Mode begins recording images with a half-press of the shutter. When you’re ready to capture action, press the shutter fully and High Speed Technology starts a Continuous Burst Mode that continues recording after the shutter button has been fully depressed. Now Casio combined both modes into fully automated and easy to use Best Shot scene modes. Pick your scene type and you’ll never miss a shot due to shutter lag ever again!

FACE DETECTION
Put a better face on your images with automatic Face Detection technology. Our camera adjusts instantly for optimum focus and background even if your subject is backlit or in front of a patterned backdrop. Moving targets? No problem. The camera will capture kids and pets on the go in the sharpest detail.

“Even without these extras, the EX-FH25 proved itself a capable camera in testing, producing images of good quality in a wide range of conditions. If this camera ticks all the boxes for features, then the £300 price tag should represent good value for you.”
Rating: ★★★★☆

Steves-digicams reviews writes:

“Video can be captured on the FH25 in two different ways. You can capture standard video with sound at standard 480p and 720p resolutions (30fps). These movies produce good exposure and color with little compression noise. The playback is fairly smooth and easy to watch. The camera’s built-in mic is very sensitive and will pick up all sounds that are around the camera.”
Rating: N/A

Pocket-lint reviews writes:

“There’s the choice of shooting full resolution, Fine quality JPEGs or Fine JPEGs plus RAW; the latter option only selectable outside of the BestShot or full auto modes. With a half press of the shutter release button there’s a brief pause while the FH25 determines focus and exposure, followed by imperceptible shutter lag as you go on to take the shot.. Colours are realistically rendered, though we did find white balance drifting from shot to shot when shooting daylight interiors, and pixel fringing in evidence if looking closely at areas of high contrast.”
Rating: ★★★½☆

CNET.uk reviews the writes:

“With the Exilim EX-FH25, Casio’s produced a camera that excels at capturing fast-moving action in a way that no other superzoom can. It has a decent lens that produces above-average sharpness at long range, too. There are a few faults, but none which seriously detract from the camera’s overall appeal.”
