I'm in the market for a digital camera, I have several features I desire.
*Pocketable (compact/ultra-compact)
*Strong and accessible of manual controls (aperture priority, shutter priority, exposure compensation, manual focus, manual white balance)
*Fast (startup, shot-to-shot, focus)
*Decent/good image quality (decent 8x10" images)
and it also has to be a good value.
I've been looking at the Casio EX-Z750 ... it seems to be in a class of it's own. Relatively good value too. But then I discovered the Casio EX-Z120 ... it's a 7.2 MP (1/1.8") pocketable (1.07" thick), runs on 2xAA batteries (good since I already have rechargables), same manual controls as the Z750. But here's the amazing value ... it's $250 including a 1 GB SD card. Must-buy?
So I'm wondering those that have Exilim cameras ... how are the image quality and overall satisfaction with the camera? Are there other cameras in the same class I should look into? Should I wait and see if there's a good deal on the Z750? Any advice/thoughts/opinions?
Many thanks,
OA
