Customer Review: Good but not great
The Casio EX-Z1050SREDA Digital Camera works well when used in strong natural light and okay when it is less sunny or you are indoors. However in less than ideal photography conditions it is often important to select the correct picture option (e.g. portrait) from the menu. Unfortunately your choice is not saved so the next time you start the camera it reverts to “Best Shot” mode.

Frequently I’ve found that pictures taken in lower light conditions display a lot of artifacts across the image but on the whole image quality is decent for this size/type of camera.

The LCD screen is big but the clarity of the picture on the screen, especially when indoors, is poor.

Having 10MP isn’t really necessary and I don’t find a lot of use for this option. But for the price I’ve generally been pleased with how the camera performs if not amazed.

Customer Review: Great camera for the price
I searched and searched for cameras online and was told the more megapixels the better by friends. So i decided to get one 8 megapixels or above. The casio EX-Z1050 seemed a great price on amazon for a camera with 10.1 mp and looking at other review sites it always came out on top when compared with others at that price/quality. I had seen it on other websites for double the price too so at under ?120 it was a bargain!

The camera arrived and after a quick battery charge i was ready to go. It is very easy to use and took no time to get the hang of the menu etc. The quality is fantastic and when i uploaded the images to my laptop i was very happy with them.

I wanted a camera for general use, nothing to arty farty just a good all round camera that took great pictures, looked stylish and didnt cost an arm and a leg….and thats what i got and im very pleased!
