Casio Exilim Ex V7 Views
Using a compact camera usually means you are limited to a 3x zoom range, but Casio manages to pack a 7x optical zoom lens into the Casio Exilim EX-V7, a 7.2-megapixel camera that’s just 0.8 inches thick. Sadly, compact cameras typically trade away some features for size, and the EX-V7 is no exception. But if good zoom reach and small size are important, the EX-V7 does the job.
New users will likely find it frustrating that Casio omitted a printed manual. A thorough 275-page PDF manual is on the driver CD, but it won’t do you any good when you’re in the field trying to figure out how to use a particular function. Also, you can’t charge the EX-V7’s battery without using the cradle, so you’ll have to pack it when traveling.
At first glance, Casio's Exilim EX-V7 looks like a typical, humdrum compact camera. It borrows the sliding lens cover design made popular by Sony's T-series cameras, has a 7.2 megapixel CCD sensor and a 2.5-inch LCD, and though heavier than most cameras its size, you should feel comfortable carrying it in a pocket. On closer inspection, you'll notice that the lens covers a 7x optical zoom range, covering the equivalent of 38mm to 266mm. Also, Casio includes sensor shift (aka mechanical) image stabilization to help minimize blurry pictures with that long lens.
