Digital cameras don't tend to vary much in design as there just aren't 101 ways you can design a compact camera. Casio, however, has done something completely new with the Exilim Tryx TR100. The lens and sensor are mounted on a separate part of the camera to the screen, so the two parts can be swivelled around independently. On top of that, the main part of the camera is mounted in a kind of flip-out frame that rotates around the camera body. The TR100 can therefore be used any way up or any way around and can be swivelled into seemingly endless different positions. It therefore clearly stands out from other compacts on the market right now. It's difficult to judge the Tryx using the same criteria as regular compacts, since its design and handling are so very different to any other camera out there. Although the idea of a swivel body has already been seen a few years ago in the Nikon S10, for example, such cameras were principally designed as a way of fitting a bulky lens into a compact camera. Here, though, the TR100 is loaded with a super-compact fixed-focus lens (the camera is just 15 mm thick) and the swivel body and frame are intended to revolutionise handling more than anything else.
The Casio EXILIM TRYX EX-TR100 was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show 2011 where we first managed to get our hands on it. An innovative idea, the TRYX TR100 has a rotating outer frame that can be twisted into various fashions - it can act as a tripod or even a hook - for more unusual shooting angles. With the capacity for 270 degrees of vertical rotation and an endless 360 degree horizontal rotation it's also idea for self-portraits. But what else is there that makes the TRYX desirable? The What Digital Camera Casio EXILIM TRYX TR100 review takes a look... The Casio EXILIM TRYX TR100 is unlike any other camera on the market. But it also has a number of restrictions more likely to break it than make it for the more general market. First of all the 21mm wideangle lens doesn't offer any optical zoom, instead a 4x digital zoom will crop into the image and therefore deteriorate quality. Furthermore 21mm is very wideangle - good for fitting lots into the frame but barrel distortion is a given so more zoomed-in shots aren't going to be this camera's forte.
