If you're reading this right now your probably considering purchasing a digital camera right now but aren't quite sure which one to purchase. Some questions you may want to consider when purchasing a new camera are:
1.How much does the camera cost?
2.How long does the battery last?
3.How much is a replacement / spare battery?
4.How many mega pixels is the camera?
5.How much optical zoom is on the camera?
6.How big is the LCD screen on the camera?
These, along with many others, are some important questions you will need to ask your self when looking at different digital cameras to purchase. I have reviewed the Casio EX-Z750 digital camera and have been very impressed with the results and have, therefore, been so inclined to write this review about it.
1. How much does the camera cost? - A nice digital camera can get fairly pricey these days so it is important that you do some research and make sure you are buying the camera you need and want. For instance if you don't need a 12 Mega-Pixel camera, then don't buy it. The images will be larger and you won't receive any benefit for it since you don't need it. I would recommend a good online store such as http://www.shipanddrop.com - They carry only a few Digital Cameras but if they have the one you need their price is cheap and the quality is great. The link above points to the Casio EX-Z750 camera and is a steal at only $235.88.
2. How long does the battery last? - A very important question to ask yourself when purchasing a new camera; How would you like to be taking pictures of that special moment when your daughter is on stage and go to snap a picture and suddenly your camera automatically turns of?. I can tell you from similar experience that when your digital camera dies when you need the most is not an enjoyable experience. The Casio EX-Z750 digital camera has a very high battery life - It comes with an NP-40 lithium battery that will take over 320 shots before going needing a recharge! That's nearly twice the amount of many other leading cameras, thats why I love this camera so much.
3. How much is a replacement / spare battery? - It is always good to have a backup battery with you in case you have an emergency when you forgot to recharge your battery or it is dead for whatever reason. Since most cameras don't come with a spare battery you may want to consider purchasing a second one. The cost of battery replacement is the main drawback I've seen to the Casio EX-Z750 at about $40 or more for a new battery. Again I would suggest http://www.shipanddrop.com for any camera accessories since they are very cheap for gifts.
4. How many mega pixels is the camera? - This can be an important feature, however, it depends on what purpose you need the camera. If you are planning on getting paid for your pictures or want extremely high quality pictures you may want to ensure the camera you purchase has a high number of mega pixels. The Casio EX-Z750 takes pictures at 7.2 mega pixels which is definitely a high quality picture. I wouldn't recommend anything over 8 mega pixels unless you have a specific purpose for it.
5. How much optical zoom is on the camera? - An important feature of each camera is how much optical zoom is on it, some companies put digital zoom on their cameras at high amounts like 10x or more, however, it is good to note that the quality of the digital zoom is very poor that is why it is important that you make sure the camera has a good amount of optical zoom on it. A fair and mostly standard amount of optical zoom on digital cameras today is 3x zoom. The Casio EX-Z750 camera has 3x optical zoom on it, although it doesn't exceed in this field it is sufficient. I would not suggest purchasing a camera with less than 3x optical zoom.
6. How big is the LCD screen on the camera? - Although this feature is not critical to the quality of pictures, it is just plain nice to have a big LCD screen to view your pictures. It does help, however, to view the quality of your pictures (make sure everyone is smiling) since you can see the image more clearly. Going back to the Casio EX-Z750 it has a nice big 2.5" LCD screen.
It is important to note that there are other features of a digital camera that are important, however, these are the ones I have found the most important. Overall the Casio EX-Z750 is a great digital camera in my opinion and I would suggest it to the average consumer. I hope this article was helpful to you in your new digital camera purchase.
