Casio Exilim EX-S880 Digital Camera Review
Casio Exilim EX-S880 Review
The new Casio Exilim EX-S880 is impressive. With this new compact digital camera, you are getting the freedom of having large prints that are big enough to crop into or big enough to make large prints with it’s 8.1 megapixels. Zoom for this camera is a pretty standard 3x optical which will get you close to your object, but don’t expect anything intense. The screen size that has been incorporated into this camera is clear and useful. Casio has included a 2.8 inch wide LCD screen so that you can get optimal viewing area while composing your pictures.
Shooting Modes on the Casio Exilim EX-S880 are unique as well as very useful. There’s the usual modes such as a timer, movie mode and macro mode. However, Casio decided to pack a couple very unique features into their cameras that we’re sure will start being more common. The YouTube capture mode allows you to capture movies them upload them directly to the YouTube server without even being logged in to your account. This makes sharing videos with friends and family painless and very easy. Other technologies that work quite well when shooting portraits is the Face Detection Technology. This feature is rapidly becoming a standard for compact digital cameras but when you’ve used it, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
With the new Casio Exilim EX-S880, you’ll get great shots, but like any camera, you can have flawed images with red eye, wrong colors, brightness issues and framing problems. Within the user interface of the camera you can correct all these things and then some. Editing features include Enlargement (8x), Resize, Trimming, Layout Print, Dynamic Range, White balance, Brightness, Keytone, Color Correction, Movie Edit, and Rotating.
The Casio Exilim EX-880 is definitely a camera to consider when researching for what you want. It’s got the features, style and functionality that will leave you with stunning prints as well as the peace of mind knowing you can do just about anything with this camera from simply taking a picture, to recording videos specifically for YouTube.
