I bought a new digital camera today (since I still haven’t gotten a replacement lens for my jacked up D70). It’s a Casio Exilim EX-Z600, and I love it! I’ve had my eye on this model for a long time and when I noticed an excellent offer at Best Buy (camera plus 1GB memory card for $250), I snapped it up without even thinking twice.
I’ve spent most of the day trying out my new Exilim in different situations. It’s very easy to use and has this great “Best Shot” feature that allows me to quickly and easily change the settings for whatever kind of photo I want to grab.
For example, there’s a “backlight” setting for those times when the sun is behind the subject instead of behind the camera. That happens to me so often that this was the first setting I wanted to try, and I have to say the results were pretty good!
I also like the fact that the Exilim EX-Z600 has such a big preview screen. I think it’s something like 2.7 inches, and it makes scrolling through my pictures very easy. In addition, I tried printing out a couple of the pictures that I took to see how the final product would look. At 6.0 megpixels, the EX-Z600 really comes through in that department as well! My printed photos looked spectacular and I don’t even have a special printer or anything.
I haven’t come across any negative aspects of this camera yet, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to buy a new digicam. At the price I got, I knew I couldn’t go wrong! If you see a deal like that, you’ve just got to take advantage of it.
