The EX-Z9 is Casio's newest offering of the ultra-compact camera in the Exilim product line. The camera is simple with 8.1 megapixel resolution and basic functionality. It has a large LCD screen for its size (2.5") and standard 3x optical zoom. Face detection technology is also part of its main offering. The EX-Z9's claim-to-fame is its simple and easy-to-use functionality. It has an Easy Mode option, which sets the menu to 3 options: image size, flash and self-timer. All the rest of the functionality and options are hidden from the user, making it a nice point-and-shoot for older or less tech-savvy users.
