The Casio Exilim EX-Z250 is a compact digital camera, one step down from the top of the Exilim line. This is a lightweight digital camera, capable of still photography, video and audio recording. It uses an anti-blur technology that maintains focus and sharpness of the image. A 3 inch Super Clear LCD monitor removes the need for a traditional viewfinder. According to Casio's website, the 9.1 mega pixels of camera resolution results in delivery of still images with a resolution of 3456x2592. For comparison, a high quality HD TV provides an image resolution of 1920x1080 according to CNET HD TV World. The EX-Z250 has a 4x zoom lens and 4x digital zoom making for an effective zoom of 16x. It can shoot as close as 16 inches out to infinity. It is also capable of shutter speeds of 4 frames per second to capture fast action scenes. This is a camera that can produce professional results in the hands of an amateur thanks to technology and automation.
