Details
The Casio Exilim EX-Z300 is a compact digital camera, the top of the Exilim line of digital cameras. With 10.1 mega pixels of camera resolution, this camera is capable of making movies for HD TV viewing. The EX-Z300 has a USB output to view videos directly on an HD TV. That is the big difference between it and the EX-Z250 according to Casio's website. It also has a better focus range with 4 modes, macro for closeups, manual focus, auto focus, and infinity mode for distances. The EX-Z300 has a full range of in-camera photo and video editing including a "make-up" process which allows for skin smoothing just like applying make-up. 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. Like the EX-Z250, it has a 4x zoom lens and 4x digital zoom making an effective zoom of 16x. This is Casio's top of the line camera that can produce professional results with editing features built into the camera.
