Casio Exilim EX-ZR100 Review

We first got a glimpse of the Casio EX-ZR100 at CES. The high-speed EXILIM point-and-shoot was unfortunately overshadowed by the trendy TRYX, Casio’s Facebook-friendly, turnable, twistable camera. And while the TRYX has more than a few gimmicks on its side, we were initially drawn to the sturdy, capable EX-ZR100.The EX-ZR100 has just the look we like: Matte black styling with a simple face and understated side grip. At first glance, its styling is reminiscent of the Nikon S9100. The camera features a top mode dial for determining settings, and the shutter button is located nearby with zoom toggle included.The top of the camera also features a dedicated high-speed function as well as the power button. On the camera’s back, you have a 3-inch LCD, extremely sharp 460K-pixel display, a dedicated movie record button, as well as a slightly confusing camera function. This red icon is there to switch back from record to taking stills, but more than once we hit it hoping to take video. There’s also a playback button and menu indicator, and in the center of all this the model dial for selecting in-screen settings.

Casio Exilim EX-ZR100

Casio Exilim EX-ZR100: Top viewA member of the relatively new breed of pocket megazoom cameras, the 12-megapixel, 12.5X-optical-zoom Casio Exilim EX-ZR100 ($300 as of September 2, 2011) offers manual controls for advanced users who want to stretch their photographic skills. But it's also for novices, thanks to extensive automatic shooting options that make capturing snapshots easy. The greatest strengths of this camera, however, are its specialty modes, namely Casio's signature high-speed still- and video-capture capabilities. Overall, it's a well-rounded camera that, considering its feature set, offers more versatility than a typical $300 camera. And with a CIPA rating of 450 shots per charge of its rechargeable battery, it's a great camera for users who'd rather leave the charger at home. Hardware and Design Like many recent compact cameras, the ZR100 is built around a CMOS sensor that, at 12.1 megapixels, provides plenty of pixel power while keeping image noise relatively low. One of the camera's advantages is its sensor-shift-stabilized 12.5X zoom lens, with a versatile 24mm to 300mm focal range. The lens isn't particularly fast--it has an aperture range of F3.0 (wide-angle) to F5.9 (telephoto)--but that's not uncommon in the realm of high-zoom compact cameras.

Casio Exilim EX-ZR100

Debuting at around $300, the EX-ZR100 is Casio's latest flagship high-speed camera, capable of 1000FPS video recording (albeit heavily letterboxed), and up to 40 FPS still image shooting. The camera also sports a 12.5x optical zoom ratio, as well as a back-illuminated 12.1-megapixel CMOS image sensor and 1080/30p video recording. We found the camera heavily processed many of its images in its default setting, but the end result was still often fairly accurate images, with little to no noise across the 100-3200 ISO range. We found the images were a tad oversharpened in-camera, and Casio could seriously do with a menu re-design, but the ZR100 strikes us as a worthy leader for Casio's 2011 high-speed lineup. In our testing we found the Casio EX-ZR100 produced an average color error of around 3.5, which is nothing spectacular, but about what we expect from a point-and-shoot camera. The main culprit came in the camera’s manual white balance settings, which tended to almost universally produce a much cooler image than necessary. In our original testing this pushed the color error to over 4.5, but subsequent attempts reined that down to a more manageable score. We found the automatic white balance often did a better job diagnosing light, as well as the white balance presets that are available. More on how we test color.

Digital Camera Reviews: Choose the Best Compact Camera

After the very nice FH100, whose only real problem was a less-than-perfect lens, Casio is back with the Exilim ZR100. It has a slightly more classic design, a new 12-Megapixel sensor and a 24-300 mm zoom lens. The ZR100 is a high-end camera in Casio's range but we don't think it's as well designed as the FH100. This is mainly due to the removal of the deep grip handle, which has been replaced by a bump of barely three millimetres deep. To be fair though, that doesn't cause too many problems, as the plastic bar supports your middle finger perfectly while your thumb rests on the mode-selection dial. One new feature on the back of the camera is the 460,000-dot definition screen. This tends to display grey shades a little too lightly and colour fidelity is way off the mark (the deltaE is 9 when it should ideally be under 3), but it's still a nice, detailed screen that's pleasant to use, especially thanks to its wide viewing angles. Otherwise, there's not much new, but we're disappointed to see that the shutter-release button with an integrated control for switching between Full HD video and high-speed video in the FH100 has been ditched in this new model. You therefore have to use the internal menus to switch between these modes, which is much less practical.

Casio Exilim EX-ZR100

If you've ever tried to photograph a sporting event, a concert, or anywhere else people aren't standing perfectly still for hours at a time, you've seen how frustratingly slow digital cameras can be - a few seconds to start up, a few seconds between shots, and a half-second or more of shutter lag add up to a lot of missed moments. If you feel the need for speed, then the 12.1-megapixel Casio Exilim EX-ZR100 ($299.99 direct) is for you. It's lightning-fast and akes great photos and video, but its quirks, including a less-than-stellar user interface, keep this camera from the top of its $300 class. The Exilim EX-ZR100 is one of the classier, sleeker cameras I've tested. It has a smooth, metallic feel to it, and the dark-gray color (the only color available) makes it even sleeker. The 2.3-by-4.1-by-1.1-inch body has rounded corners, a slightly raised look around the lens, and a small bump on the right side that acts as a grip. At 7.2 ounces it's not particularly light, but it's still pocket-friendly. The front of the camera, with too many logos and numbers (there's a Casio logo, a 12.5x symbol, and an HS logo), is annoyingly busy, but I'll overlook that in favor of the otherwise well-designed form. On the front of the camera, other than the plethora of signage, is the wide-angle, 12.5x optical zoom lens.

Casio EXILIM ZR100 review

The Casio ZR100 combines a 12.1MP back-illuminated CMOS sensor with 12.5x optical zoom. A Casio revolution? The What Digital Camera Casio EXILIM ZR100 review takes a look… The Casio ZR100 is a continuation of the popular EXILIM series - but it looks as though the latest Casio models are making bigger leaps forward than previous generation models. The ZR100 adds a brand new back-illuminated CMOS sensor to the Casio fray, coupled with image stabilisation, a 24-300mm (12.5x) optical zoom and high speed shooting. Is the Casio EXILIM ZR100 part of a new Casio cameras revolution...? The What Digital Camera Casio ZR100 test takes a more thorough look... The ZR100's back-illuminated sensor is designed for better image quality performance. By essentially moving the wired parts of the sensor further back there is less interference to the light that enters the sensor and, therefore, this better quality of light should result in better quality images. Coupled with Casio's latest EXILIM Engine HS and the ZR100 is capable of high-speed recording too. This latest image processor improves processing speeds and, according to Casio, sets a new standard in subject recognition too.
