Casio's new EX-Z29 10.1 megapixel compact does WVGA video

It's not HD, but we'll still give Casio's new EX-Z29 props for trying. The primarily bland compact camera (Casio itself describes the shooter as "Sleek & Sturdy") offers up a 848 x 480 video record mode and direct-to-YouTube setting to go along with the 10.1 megapixel sensor, 3X zoom and 2.7-inch LCD. The "Sturdy" camera is 0.91-inches thick, offers Anti Shake DSP for mildly less blurry photos and hits retail this month for $150, available in black, pink, blue, silver or purple. There's another photo of the camera after the break, brace yourselves for all its splendor.

I have to say, I think Casio do an excellent job of compact point and shoots. My main camera is an Alpha 350, but for parties, evenings with friends I have a 5 year old Exilim ex-s100 and it's fantastic. It does great 3MP shots and slips into my jeans pocket. I can' fault it and would happily own another exilim as a 'party-cam.'

Oh, no! Poor little guy got stuck right between two Apple Tuesday articles. You okay, fella? Need a hug?

I love my little Casio Exilim EX-300. I've had it since Fall 2004, and it still does a great job. I've got a lot of faith in this brand, and this model is very tempting for an upgrade.
