I love this little camera, its compact, takes very good pictures indoor and outdoor, good 3x optical zoom, the different modes are great and easy to use on the fly, advance features such as live on screen ISO available if needed - took it on a trip to Madrid and Paris and took over a 1,000 pics - by far the best camera I have owned
Battery life is also amazing often lasting over a week of heavy use and well over a month of occasional snap shots.

This camera would be perfect if it had a little more zoom. But other than that everything is simple and high quality. I have yet to confront a problem with this camera. The quality of the pictures are great. The dock to connect to the computer makes transferring a 2 minute job. I highly recommend this camera to anyone who wants a camera that'll bring results

Alrighty, I loved this camera for a while, but the first day of my long awaited London trip, I realized one MAJOR flaw... Right in the middle of every picture I was taking, there was a box of about 9 pixles that was always white. Some people might think this is minor, but trust me, seeing this on your neck in a picture really looks odd...
Other than this, I truly did love the camera. It was amazingly fast. You pressed the power button and it was ready to shoot. No waiting! Lots and lots of manual featuers, including manual focus(wow, on such a small camera too) The camera body was nice and sturdy. The screen was huge and clear. The battery lasts forever!
Even so, there are some flaws(aside from the CCD) The zoom was pretty sorry. Yes, it's your standard 3x zoom, but when you went full telephoto(NO digital zoom) the image got much darker and the shutter speed was much slower due to this. As a result, any picture you zoomed into would be blurry and sometimes washed out. Also, noise was a problem at an ISO setting above 100. Normally this wasn't a problem unless you zoomed in or didn't use a flash.
So, all in all, I'd suggest avoiding this camera and all Casio camera's. I was quite pleased, but I now read other people have this problem with newer cameras, so I just cant trust them anymore...
The silver metal case of the EXILIM Zoom EX-Z50 is exclusively made from finest quality materials. Thus the camera possesses the strikingly elegant brilliance of the authentic EXILIM. BESTSHOT functions are practically pre-settings for different motifs and lighting conditions. The EXILIM Zoom EX-Z50 offers 23 BESTSHOT modes. You can also create, store and call up your own modes with BESTSHOT at any time. New: 2 integrated Business Shot programs for distortion-free reproduction of business cards and projection charts. For flash photos, the background often remains too dark and the motif is not fully illuminated. The solution: Flash Assist. With this function, the brightness of the motif is automatically enhanced. Changing between the normal focus and the macro range is really fast - with the Auto Macro function. The macro region, i.e. the close-up region of the EX-Z50, comprises distances between 6cm and 50cm. Before each photo, the camera measures the distance to the motif and automatically sets the right focal range. Every picture is thus crystal-clear, even close up to important details.
