Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z600Say hello to the new Casio EX-Z600 Digital Camera from Casio. This latest addition comes with a 6.0 megapixel CCD in the point-and-shoot range of cameras in a pocketable form-factor which looks sleek. With a bigger-than-usual 2.7" preview LCD that offers 1200 cd/square meter brightness, you can easily show off photos to your subjects even in the sun.

Other advancements in the Casio EX-Z600 include an extended battery life claimed at a staggering 550 shots per single charge - which is awesome! The Anti Shake DSP comes in a new version, and this improves the camera's output in Auto Macro and Quick Shutter functions by reducing blurred images.

A new function, the Rapid Flash, has been included. This guarantees three consecutive high-speed flash photos per second. Another interesting function is the Revive Shot where you can take still images from an old photo album.

Debuting in March 2006 in the UK, the Casio EX-Z600 Digital Camera from Casio will be available in silver, black and blue. www.casio.com.
