Top Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z60 Camera Reviews
Steve's Digicams wrote a review of the
Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z60
and said: "The EX-Z60 also had mixed results with the quality of
its 6M Fine images. Our outdoor samples were very nice, showing
good overall exposure and pleasing color saturation. Thanks in
part to its 3x optical zoom, the majority of our shots were
sharp, but they did exhibit some edge softness. This lens covers
a 35mm equivalent range of 38 - 114mm, which is typical for a
camera in this class. The 38mm wide angle extreme will afford
pleasing outdoor landscapes and group shots, while its telephoto
range will help produced nice close-up portraits."
Cameras.co.uk reviews the
Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z60
and said: "Looking at the outdoor photos these are quite
pleasing. In terms of sharpness they are not the very best, but
the camera is still capable of taking a well focused photo. If
you take a look at the first test shot you will notice the tiles
on the roof of the building could be clearer. This is an area
that causes problems for the majority of cameras and it is only
those with the very best lenses that can cope with this.
Focusing does tail off slightly towards the edges of each photo,
but again I would say you can find many digital cameras that are
a lot worse than this one in that respect."
