best camera I'v ever had works a treat, easy to use yet so vesatile

The CASIO EXILIM HI-ZOOM EX-V7, is the World's slimmest digital camera with a 7x optical zoom lens, bringing large zoom capability to CASIO's stylish EXILIM series for the first time. Thinness is a defining quality of the EXILIM line, and the EX-V7 is no different as it easily fits in a shirt pocket or small purse.
In recent years, a number of compact, high-performance digital cameras have appeared on the market, but there was always a trade-off between zoom power and camera size. Users who wanted to capture subjects at a distance have had to buy bulkier cameras. Others have made the hard choice to sacrifice zoom for portability.

The new EXILIM Hi-Zoom EX-V7 solves this problem, giving users the best of both worlds. It packs a cutting-edge, non-protruding 7x optical zoom lens in the same stylish body and compact size that people expect of any CASIO EXILIM. At last, an exceptionally portable, great-looking digital camera with a powerful zoom lens - just what the world has been waiting for.

The latest model also introduces mechanical CCD shift technology to the range. It combines with CASIO's Anti Shake DSP, which reduces blur from shaky hands or a moving subject by using higher ISO sensitivity and faster shutter speeds, and new motion analysis technology that uses the most appropriate ISO sensitivity and shutter speed to capture a moving photo subject. New motion analysis technology built into the new EXILIM Engine 2.0, even at high zoom settings, reduces most occurrences of image blur. From first-time photographers to seasoned pros, everyone will love this latest photographic marvel from CASIO.
