Casio EX-Z280 EX-Z33 Digital Cameras AnnouncedCasio added two new compact digital cameras EX-Z280 and EX-Z33 to its noted EXILIM series of cameras. Both the cameras bring advanced image processing and photo sharing features and are targeted at newbies and photography aficionados. Sporting stylish compact bodies and exciting new colors the new Casio cameras look attractive. Beneath the beauty lie Casio's advanced technologies that simplify photography both for new users as well as photography experts. Casio EXILIM EX-Z280 EXILIM EX-Z280 is a 12.1 megapixel camera that comes with a wide angle 26mm lens supporting 4X optical zoom. It lets you do professional level photography and extends many interesting features to turn ordinary photographs into unique and precious artwork without requiring additional software tools.
Image Stabilization & Face Detection The camera uses Casio's CCD-shift image stabilization and face detection technologies that with combined power help produce superior image quality. The image stabilization function ensures that the small camera shakes don't spoil the pictures. And, the face detection technology identifies the faces in the picture and ensures proper camera settings automatically. A special Make-Up function leverages face detection technology to transform normal pictures into glamorous shots. It not only detects faces but also adjusts the lighting, tonal range, exposure for optimum results. It even hides facial blemishes, counters any shades etc. to ensure bright and vivid pictures. Night Scene & Lighting The camera functions at its best even in poor lighting conditions. The improved Night Scene and Lighting features can automatically identify the shooting requirements and alter the camera light and exposure settings accordingly. The photographer's job is not more than just pressing the button. These are particularly handy features for amateurs. Generally, most entry level digital cameras fail to show their skills in poor lighting situations. The latest crop of cameras is making an effort to improve night time or low light photography capabilities. EXILIM Engine 4.0 Another highlight of EX-Z280 is its EXILIM Engine 4.0 that helps improve the image quality and lowers the power consumption. In addition to standard CPU, the EXILIM Engine 4.0 sports a high speed image processing CPU that ensures that images are processed efficiently. Apart from improving the image quality at high sensitivity levels, enhanced processing speed aids in merging, refining, and embedding images in images quickly right on the camera. Dynanmic Photo Casio has enhanced its Dynamic photo feature. It allows users to add animated graphics to the captured photos on the camera itself. You can even take cut-outs of moving pictures and embed those into your still photographs. This helps users construct greeting cards, creative videos, interesting photos, and more. The creations can be printed or turned into e-greeting videos which can then be shared online via email or popular social networking sites. This makes photography and photo sharing a lot more fun and creative. Easy Mode Though the compact digital cameras are quite easy to use but if you find it overwhelming, worry not. The easy mode in EX-Z280 provides a simplistic menu that you can easily follow to capture best photographs. HD Movie EXILIM EX-Z280 also comes with an HD movie feature. The dedicated movie button lets you capture videos at 1280x720 pixels. A special YouTube feature helps you store just the right sized video that can be uploaded to video sharing site YouTube. Why waste time in trimming your video if YouTube happens to be one of your targets? Other features of the camera include Auto Focus (AF) Tracking, Self Timer, Scene Modes, Audio Recording, 2.7 inch TFT LCD screen, and continuous built-in flash. It weighs around 4 oz and is priced at $179.99.
