Casio Exilim EX-Z40 Zoom Review

Quote from the review:

“The EX-Z40 ZOOM is the latest addition to Casio’s super-slim EXILIM Series and shares the same 4 Megapixel CCD imager and high-performance 3X Pentax zoom lens found on the EXILIM EX-Z4. The EX-Z40 introduces some new features, such as the ability to capture movies clips with sound that are limited only by the memory card’s capacity, a new light-weight aluminum body, and a Pan-Focus mode.

The EX-Z40 combines a 3-segment telescoping lens mechanism that makes it possible to provide 3X optical zoom capabilities in a extremely thin camera and a robust 7-point Multi-Auto Focus system for optimum focusing. It’s ready to go in under 2 seconds from being turned on. The big 2.0-inch TFT LCD monitor screen features a digital interface for a clear display of images. The monitor screen can be used to compose images, and a collection of display features helps to make image viewing easier. “
