Casio has added to its Exilim line with the EX-P700. The camera has a 7.2-megapixel CCD with 4X optical zoom and a 0.01-second release time lag.
The EX-P700 also features a high-speed continuous shooting function that can shoot five photographs at a rate of three photos per second. New functions include flash assist, auto macro and icon help. The Business Shot function compensates for pictures taken at an angle and records them as though taken from straight ahead.
Auto Bracketing allows exposure, white balance and focus position to be set quickly with a single press of the shutter. The multi-bracketing feature enables a variety of shots with different color effects to be taken in combination with the rapid shooting function. Manual shooting is made easier with the two-inch, high-definition TFT LCD screen, which displays all necessary information about shooting and effects. Manual settings can be changed on-screen.
The camera stores images in a web browser-viewable format that allows images to be browsed in on-screen albums. It has internal 8.9MB flash memory, with a card slot that supports the use of an SD Memory Card or MMC. It also connects directly to PictBridge and USB Direct-Print compatible printers, and complies with ExifPrint (Exif 2.2) and PRINT Image Matching. The EX-P700 has a retail price of $599.
