Customer Review: Good but not great
The Casio EX-Z1050SREDA Digital Camera works well when used in strong natural light and okay when it is less sunny or you are indoors. However in less than ideal photography conditions it is often important to select the correct picture option (e.g. portrait) from the menu. Unfortunately your choice is not saved so the next time you start the camera it reverts to “Best Shot” mode.
Frequently I’ve found that pictures taken in lower light conditions display a lot of artifacts across the image but on the whole image quality is decent for this size/type of camera.
The LCD screen is big but the clarity of the picture on the screen, especially when indoors, is poor.
Having 10MP isn’t really necessary and I don’t find a lot of use for this option. But for the price I’ve generally been pleased with how the camera performs if not amazed.
Customer Review: Great camera for the price
I searched and searched for cameras online and was told the more megapixels the better by friends. So i decided to get one 8 megapixels or above. The casio EX-Z1050 seemed a great price on amazon for a camera with 10.1 mp and looking at other review sites it always came out on top when compared with others at that price/quality. I had seen it on other websites for double the price too so at under ?120 it was a bargain!
The camera arrived and after a quick battery charge i was ready to go. It is very easy to use and took no time to get the hang of the menu etc. The quality is fantastic and when i uploaded the images to my laptop i was very happy with them.
I wanted a camera for general use, nothing to arty farty just a good all round camera that took great pictures, looked stylish and didnt cost an arm and a leg….and thats what i got and im very pleased!

Canon announces its next generation D-SLR: the EOS 400D. Featuring a 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, new EOS Integrated Cleaning System, larger and brighter 2.5″ LCD and 9-point AF, the model is predicted to take the lead as the world?s most popular camera. It is positioned above the EOS 350D, currently the fastest selling SLR camera of all time. Features: Megapixel10.1 Optical ZoomNA Digital ZoomNA Memory CardCompact Flash LCD Size2.5″ Other features: - Canon?s EOS Integrated Cleaning System - High-precision 9 point AF system - Picture Style image processing parameters - DIGIC II image processor with 0.2 sec start up - Digital Photo Professional RAW processing software - Fully compatible with all Canon EF and EF-S lenses and EX-series Speedlites As well as the EOS Integrated Cleaning System, the EOS 400D incorporates a number of developments over the EOS 350D. Resolution increases from 8.0 to 10.1 Megapixels, using the superior hi-sensitivity, hi-speed, low-noise CMOS technology now found in all six EOS Digital models. At nearly twice the size of the EOS 350D display, the 2.5? hi-resolution LCD is the brightest in the EOS range and now displays all of key shooting and user interface information along with image playback. The AF system expands from 7 to 9-point, with a highly sensitive f/2.8 center point for exceptional performance in low light. Even with the image resolution increase, maximum frame burst almost doubles from 14 to 27 large JPEGs and from 5 to 10 RAW. The EOS 400D is the first camera to incorporate the EOS Integrated Cleaning System. Based on significant research into the causes of dust in D-SLR cameras, the system combats dust in three important ways: Reduce, Repel and Remove. Internal camera mechanisms are designed to minimise dust generation. The body cap is redesigned to prevent dust generation through wear on the cap itself. Anti-static technologies are applied to the low-pass filter covering the front of the s

Customer Review: WARNING - Cashback never materialises
I bought this camera back in December along with some other EOS products, on the basis of Canon’s advertised cashback promotion. Despite sending off the paperwork, getting a reference number and sending over 10 emails, the cashback has not appeared. The company Canon uses to handle their cashback does not answer the phone and the only replies they’ve sent to email contact have been “wait 5 days and see if the money appears”. I am about to begin small claim’s court proceedings against Canon to recover the sum owed. The Camera’s great - but don’t buy it on the basis of the Cashback promotion!
Customer Review: Great body - shame about the lens
The 400D is an absolutely cracking camera body which is capable of producing great quality, razor sharp images. So why do I give the 400D/std lens combo as measly 2 star rating? Because of the std kit lens I’m afraid. (I’d give the body alone 5 stars.) What bugs me here (on behalf of other consumers) is that the buyer of this std combo just will not be getting the true potential out of the 400D body because of the particularly poor quality of the std lens. I stress that the body is brilliant in my view - I love it. But sadly the same quality does not extend to the standard 18-55 kit lens, either mechanically or optically. For example… - The inner lens tube wobbles all over the place, which makes you wonder what is actually holding it in position. - Accurate manual focusing is impossible due to the amazingly poor design and build. - The front element rotates during focusing which makes it next to impossible to use a polarising filter. - The lens mount is plastic. - The optics are shockingly poor. Don’t expect sharp images, esp at the tele end. If you compare the optical performance of this lens to the Nikon std 18-55 kit lens, you could be forgiven for thinking that Canon are having a bit of a laugh. You can make up your own mind if you check out the “Reviews” section of the Photozone site (comes up via any of the search engines). Try opening two web browser sessions and size them down width ways so you can compare the two lenses side by side. I think you’ll be shocked at what you see. So why does Canon ship such a poor lens as standard with its 400D? Beats me - its reputation is widely reported in mags and online. The sooner Canon discontinue the std 18-55 lens the better - it’s absolute pap and has no place on a current day DSLR, especially one as good as the 400D. My recommendation to anyone buying the 400D is to buy the body and choose the lens separately. If you must have a Canon lens then the IS version of the 18-55 is infinitely better than the std (non-IS) 18-55 kit lens (in terms of the image quality it delivers anyway - mechanically it’s not much better). I note that the IS lens is very reasonably priced these days. Or, if you don’t mind going down the third party lens route, you could opt for the Tamron 17-50 F2.8 - a cracking lens that really does justice to the superb quality and design of the 400D. Which to choose? The Canon IS 18-55 is cheaper (and represents very good value in my view), while the Tamron 17-50 is faster and significantly better in terms of image quality. The Tamron is sharper into the image corners and sharper at the tele end too, although you might notice chromatic abberations in your image borders and corners when using the Tamron at the 17mm end with wide apertures (but these are easily taken care of by raw converters in any case). In a nutshell, the 400D teamed up with either the Canon IS 18-55 or Tamron 17-50 will produce razor sharp images that will make your eyes pop out. You can’t go wrong with either combination. But to say that the std kit lens (non IS) is best avoided would be the understatement of the year. Happy hunting.
