Casio Exilim EX-V7 Digital Camera
By Lolak

Casio announced the release of the 7.2 Megapixel Casio Exilim Hi-ZOOM EX-V7, the most powerful zoom in the stylish EXILIM series of compact digital cameras. The Exilim Hi-Zoom EX-V7 digicam claims as the world's slimmest with a 7x optical zoom. The 7.2 megapixel V7 is only 24.3mm thick (about 0.95 inches) and also has a 2.5 inch LCD.

The new Casio Exilim V7 also introduces an innovative function for reducing photo blur, made possible by Casio's mechanical CCD shift technology. It also combines Casio's well-received Anti Shake DSP, which reduces blur due to shaky hands or a moving subject by using higher ISO sensitivity and faster shutter speeds, with new motion analysis technology that uses the most appropriate ISO sensitivity and shutter speed to capture a moving photo subject. Even at high zoom settings, the Casio Exilim EX-V7 reduces most occurrences of image blur. Everyone from first-time photographers to seasoned professionals will love this latest photographic marvel from Casio.
