Casio Exilim EX-Z1200 News Release Summary:
Casio introduces flagship Exilim zoom digital camera with 12
megapixels. Featuring a slim, stylish look packed with superior
functions like auto-tracking AF with motion analysis technology
and a CCD-shift anti-shake mechanism
DOVER, NJ, MAY 21, 2007 – Casio, Inc. and its parent company,
Casio Computer Co., Ltd., announced the release of the newest
model in the stylish series of EXILIM digital cameras, the
EXILIM Zoom EX-Z1200. The new camera is Casio’s flagship EXILIM
Zoom, boasting a world-leading 12.1 effective megapixels to
deliver both high resolution and premium performance.
It has only been a year since Casio released the revolutionary
EXILIM Zoom EX-Z1000, the first digital camera in the world to
deliver 10.1 megapixel resolution in a size that fits easily in
the palm of the hand. The EX-Z1000 won acclaim for making it
simpler than ever to capture images at a remarkably high
resolution, and its trend-setting performance put it at the
forefront of the market.
“The newest addition of the slim, stylish EXILIM line represents
Casio’s continuing objective to produce innovative products fit
for everyone’s needs,” said Bill Heuer, Vice President of
Casio’s Digital Imaging Division. “The EX-Z1200 incorporates the
same characteristics from the EX-Z1000 and adds new features
such as face detection and motion analysis technology which make
photographs more life like.”
Now, going one step beyond the EX-Z1000, the new flagship
EX-Z1200 offers 12.1 megapixel resolution — the highest
available in any compact digital camera. At this amazing level
of detail, photos print crystal-clear even in large sizes or
when trimmed to show just one part of the image. It incorporates
CCD-shift image stabilization and the latest EXILIM Engine 2.0
image processing module with motion analysis technology. These
innovative features work together to help prevent blurry shots
due to shaky hands, subject movement or poor focus when
photographing moving subjects such as children or pets.
In addition, the auto-tracking AF system now combines both face
detection and motion analysis technologies. With this
revolutionary new system, once the focus is locked in, it
follows a moving subject’s face, maintaining both sharp focus
andcorrect exposure.
