The Casio Exilim Z1200 is no simple point-and-click camera though, as with most decent digital cameras over the £200 mark you get full manual control over all aspects of the camera including shutter speeds and focal length, which nearly (but not quite) makes up for the minimal ISO selection. Shutter lag isn’t too bad with the Casio Exilim Z1200. Combine this with various problems when shooting in low light - including a hit-and-miss face recognition system and you're left with a camera that struggles when outside its comfort zone. But the Casio Exilim Z1200 is outstanding in perfect conditions.

The Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z1200 an ultracompact 12.1-megapixel camera with both manual controls and a raft of advanced automatic functions. The EX-Z1200 offers an f/2.8-5.4, 37mm-111mm (35mm equivalent) 3x zoom lens; CCD-shift image stabilization, and a widescreen 230,400-pixel, 2.8-inch LCD. It uses Casio's Exilim Engine 2.0 image processor to support features such as motion analysis, tracking autofocus, and face detection. The Z1200 also offers voice recording for annotating photos.

The range of control that the EX-Z1200 offers really lets you get creative with your photography whilst retaining the simplicity of a point and shoot camera. The 12.1 megapixel CCD produces not only very large images but also ones that are of a very good standard. There's a lot to be impressed about and if the menu system was a bit more carefully thought out, it would make the camera even better. Not only is this a stylish camera, it's got great functionality and image quality as well. If you need as many pixels as man can cram onto a CCD but still want control and decent image quality in a compact form factor then you should certainly consider the Exilim EX-Z-1200.

The physical build quality is excellent, but I did notice that the front panel warms up if the camera is used for any length of time. There are a surprising number of advanced functions built into the camera, and it's a surprise to see the standard PASM modes there for the user to tinker with. However, as the scene modes usually invoke some processing functions, it is these, considering how easily accessible they are, that will be called upon more. The Z1200 has two main features then. They are high quality and high resolution, and if those are the two main items on your camera requirement list, then it's a good purchase, if not quite an all-rounder for general use.

This 12.1-megapixel camera is capable of some great results but is flawed by the sheer number pixels harboured by its sensor.

Though hardly perfect, the Casio Exilim EX-Z1200 produces some very nice, very large pictures.

Although there were a few issues with the Casio Exilim EX-V7, this versatile ultracompact point-and-shoot definitely ups the feature-set ante for cameras its size.

Casio tries to make a statement with the EX-V7's 7x optical zoom and sensor-shift image stabilization, but awkward controls and ho-hum image quality make this camera merely mediocre.

The 7.2-megapixel EXILIM Hi-ZOOM EX-V7, is the most powerful zoom in the stylish EXILIM® series of compact digital cameras. This new model is the world’s slimmest digital camera with a 7X optical zoom lens. Thinness is a defining quality in the EXILIM line, and the EX-V7 is no different as it easily fits in a shirt pocket or small purse. The V7 incorporates a cutting-edge, non-protruding 7X internal optical zoom lens and offers a 10X- equivalent zoom without loss of picture quality (in 3.0-megapixel mode).

The Casio Exilim EX-V7 is a nice compact, and certainly has the best optical zoom we've seen on such a small camera, but we're wondering if the zoom makes the camera a worthwhile pick. Even with image stabilization, which caused a degradation in quality, holding a 7X zoom steady practically requires a tripod, and for the extra bulk, you'd be better off with a larger camera, and a higher-quality lens. Images were good, but not fantastic, and some color problems around bright edges added to the problematic noise issues.
