Casio Exilim EX-S770 reviewed
If you like your cameras slim and small, you've no doubt given consideration to some of Casio's lightweight Exilim offerings, one of the latest being this here EX-S770, which the folks at Digital Camera Review recently took outside for its close up (and some testing). According to them, it looks to be a winner, with a stylish and sturdy design, good image quality, great battery life, and a bright, wide format LCD. About the only drawbacks they found were some slightly awkward zoom controls, and a lack of manual exposure modes or printed manual. (Huh? Printed manual? Two words we here at Engadget abhor.) At a $380 list price, it's also not the cheapest option for a compact 7 megapixel camera, though it looks like some retailers are happy to knock a few bills of that.
Casio's EX-S770 ultraslim camera
Casio's rounding out that expanded lineup of fairly capable portable and ultraslim consumer cameras today the last of their three new 7.2 megapixel shooters. Their highest end 17mm thick $380 EX-S770 features 3x optical, a bright 1100cd/m2 2.8-inch display sure to kill that battery right quick, VGA MPEG-4 movie recording, in 16:9, anti-shake DSP, and "PHOTO TRANSPORT," a method for moving photos from your PC to your camera for informational and entertainment purposes (gee, whoda thunkit?). Not too dissimilar from their $300 21mm thick EX-Z700 (with a 2.7-inch LCD), or their $250 EX-Z70. All feature that Casio eBay mode (for taking high detail, low res pics, we assume?), and should be shipping in September.
