Casio EX-Z600 News Release Summary:
JANUARY 23, 2006, LONDON, ENGLAND -- CASIO ELECTRONICS CO LTD.,
in conjunction with its parent company CASIO COMPUTER CO., LTD.
announced the release of the latest addition to its EXILIM ZOOM
digital camera series with the EX-Z600. The latest evolution in
this popular series offers 6.0 megapixel high resolution photos
in a stylish, compact, and pocket-sized package. The extra large
2.7 inch Super Bright LCD is approximately three times brighter
than the previous EX-Z500 model, producing an impressive
luminance of 1200 candelas per square metre. This significant
advancement makes the LCD easier to see, especially when viewed
in the sunny outdoors. In auto mode, the LCD automatically
adjusts to the brightness of the surrounding environment. The
EX-Z600’s SUPER LIFE Battery now has an even longer battery
life, supporting a staggering 550 shots per charge*.
The EXILIM line is a culmination of CASIO’s core technologies of
miniaturization and digital technology resulting in a smaller,
higher resolution camera - the established trend leader in
stylish, quick responding, large LCD, and long battery life
digital cameras. The EX-Z600 includes the latest version of the
EXILIM Engine, featuring the Anti Shake DSP, which along with
the Auto Macro and Quick Shutter functions, considerably reduces
the incidence of blurred photos due to moving subjects or
shaking hands.
New to the EX-Z600 is the Rapid Flash function, which enables
three consecutive high speed flash photos in only one second,
allowing you to completely capture the moment without losing
precious seconds between shots. The EX-Z600 includes Revive
Shot, used to take still images from old album photos for long
term preservation and enjoyment. Revive Shot digitally revives
faded colours and automatically adjusts for obliquity, even when
photos are shot while still in the album. The EX-Z600 is
equipped with a BESTSHOT Button, allowing convenient one-touch
access to this popular feature that offers 32 different scene
selections, including Anti Shake and Revive Shot, for
hassle-free photos every time.
The EX-Z600 embodies CASIO’s continuing commitment to offer
digital camera users cutting-edge technology and convenient
user-friendly functionality in a small, stylishly designed
package. Providing the freedom to take high quality pictures and
movies anywhere, anytime, the new EX-Z600 makes taking memories
as easy and fun as making them.
The EX-Z600 will be available in the UK from March 2006 in
silver, black and blue from all good digital camera retailers.
