    "Casio EX-Z1050 beats Canon SD850 IS - for me"

    by Graphxpro on August 29, 2007

    Pros: Incredible battery life, 10 MPx, Fast, Great Value!

    Cons: Lousy software - use what is already on your computer

    Summary: My spouse & I own both the Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 and Canon SD850 IS between us. If I were to choose one again - I'd choose the Casio Exilim. Here's why: 1) Casio Exilim has simply amazing battery life - rated at 370 shots, best in all comparisons by long shot - I get 500+ shots. How do they do it?! Canon's has 1/2 to 2/3 the life. 2) Casio 10MPx, Canon 8Mpx! 3) Casio Exilim price is $100 less!!, for example at Amazon.com. Big savings! 3) Bigger, brighter 2.7" viewing screen on Casio, possibly not quite as sharp as Canon's, however, the difference in minimal and not a factor. (The view-finder on the Canon is useless). 4) Casio has many more excellent Best Shot settings that are very easy to use and really work great, which results in... 5) better balanced color & saturation in photos overall to me. 6) Casio "Auto tracking AF" & Canon "Face Detection" are very similar, but Canon tracks better 7) Blur/Shake reduction are comparable. 8) Casio has 3x Zoom, Canon wins: 4x zoom. 9) Casio video mode superior, MPEG4 format. 10) The Casio Exilim is FAST, 1 second between shots, but a tiny bit slower than the Canon - about 1/10 second in ratings. This is a non-issue. (Casio's burst rate is about 5 shots per second.) 11) Casio's computer software is dreadful, but who uses it anyway? Use Adobe. Canon's is better but still just OK. BOTTOM LINE: Buy the Casio Exilim: Save $100, get more pixels to crop, better internal photo modes for better pix, very good anti-shake mode, and don't forget that unmatched long-life battery!!! - This is THE most under-rated camera on the market.
