Third-party reviews

What customers like about Casio EXILIM EX-ZR10

  • At 176 g it is easy to carry all day.
  • Sensor-shift stabilization steadies handheld shots.
  • Larger 1.53 µm pixels give cleaner indoor pictures.
  • Wi-Fi sends photos to a phone without a cable.
  • Slow-motion video and HDR mode add creative options.
  • A 3 in screen makes framing easy.

What customers don't like about Casio EXILIM EX-ZR10

  • Continuous shooting at 3 fps is too slow for fast action.
  • 290 shots per charge is short for a long day out.
  • The 4 s longest shutter limits night photos.
  • Only 11 focus points leave less choice for the focus spot.
  • No touchscreen or flip-out screen, so changing settings takes buttons.

Verdict

For a casual shooter who wants a light camera for family days, the Casio EXILIM EX-ZR10 is an easy one to carry. At 176 g it hardly weighs anything, and at 27.4 mm thick it slips into a coat pocket. The sensor-shift stabilization steadies handheld shots, and the 1.53 µm pixels take in more light than smaller ones, so indoor pictures look cleaner. Wi-Fi sends photos to a phone, and slow motion and HDR mode add some fun to everyday scenes. The trade-off is speed and runtime. Continuous shooting reaches only 3 fps, and 290 shots per charge is short for a long day. The 4 s longest shutter also limits night shots. It suits a family photographer who wants pictures without fuss, and who does not need quick bursts.
