Third-party reviews

What we like about Casio EXILIM EX 100

  • Constant f/2.8 aperture throughout the entire 10.7x optical zoom range
  • Intelligent Dual Bracketing allows capturing 9 shots with different settings (e.g., focus, white balance) in one click
  • Large 3.5-inch tilt-type LCD screen that can flip 180 degrees for selfies
  • Fast performance with high-speed burst shooting and quick autofocus
  • Integrated Wi-Fi connectivity for easy picture sharing with smartphones

What we don't like about Casio EXILIM EX 100

  • High initial retail price compared to other premium compacts in its class
  • Small 1/1.7-inch sensor size compared to modern 1-inch sensor competitors
  • Lacks a built-in optical or electronic viewfinder, making it hard to use in bright sunlight
  • Image quality is sometimes described as average or 'cool' in color, with some lens sharpness issues at certain distances
  • Battery life of 390 shots can be a limiting factor for long shooting sessions
  • No weather sealing (not tropicalised), making it vulnerable in adverse conditions

Verdict

The Casio Exilim EX-100 is a premium high-speed compact camera featuring a 12.1-megapixel 1/1.7-inch back-illuminated CMOS sensor and a versatile 28-300mm equivalent lens with a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture. Its primary strengths include 5-axis image stabilisation, rapid 30 fps continuous shooting, and a unique 'dual bracketing' system that captures nine images with varying parameters like focus and aperture in a single burst. Users benefit from a large 3.5-inch tilting LCD, full manual controls, RAW (DNG) support, and high-speed video recording up to 1000 fps. However, it lacks a built-in viewfinder, has no external microphone or flash support, and is notably bulkier and heavier than many typical compact cameras in its class.
