Casio America, Inc. recently released two new Exilim digital cameras.
The EX-V8 features a slim, yet high optical zoom like its predecessors in the Exilim Hi-Zoom series, while the EX-Z1080, the latest addition to the core Exilim Zoom series, packs a range of functions into a compact size.
The EX-V8 delivers 8.1 effective megapixels in a slim shape that is compact enough to fit in the palm of the hand. The camera features a 7X optical internal zoom lens designed for quiet operation. The EX-V8 also offers four blur reduction technologies, including a CCD-shift image stabilization mechanism.
The 10.1 megapixel EX-Z1080 enables high sensitivity photography up to a maximum of ISO 6400.
Both new models incorporate the Exilim Engine 2.0 image processing module, which allows high quality movies to be recorded at the high compression rate of H.264 standard. They also feature a YouTube Capture Mode, which enables users to shoot and save movies at the optimum size, quality and other settings for YouTube. Casio has also included an exclusive software application that makes it fast and simple to upload movies to YouTube.
“Each year we strive to make advancements in our popular Exilim digital cameras,” said Bill Heuer, Vice President of Sales for Casio’s Digital Imaging Division. “These models are no exception, as they blend many of the standard features Exilim cameras are known for, with groundbreaking new technology such as YouTube Capture Mode, and the EXILIM Engine 2.0 high performance image processing module. If you ever needed an excuse to shoot photos and videos of friends or family these Exilim cameras are it!”
The EX-V8 will have an MSRP of $329.99 and the EX-Z1080 an MSRP of $279.99. Both models will be available at US retail stores in September.
