Third-party reviews

Based on 44 buyer reviews from online shops.
Reviews last updated: July 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Casio EXILIM EX ZR1000

  • High-speed performance with fast startup, autofocus, and short intervals between shots
  • Exceptional battery life, often exceeding the manufacturer's claim of 360-470 shots
  • Versatile 180-degree tiltable LCD screen, ideal for selfies and different shooting angles
  • Impressive high-speed video capabilities, including frame rates up to 1000fps
  • Good build quality and compact, pocketable design
  • Intuitive menu system and physical control ring for quick setting adjustments

What we don't like about Casio EXILIM EX ZR1000

  • Disappointing image quality in low-light conditions with noticeable noise at higher ISO settings
  • Issues with purple fringing and lateral chromatic aberration in high-contrast lighting
  • Lack of wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi) for easy photo sharing
  • Softness in images when using the extreme end of the digital zoom range
  • Panorama mode ('Sweep Panorama') is often cited as difficult to use or producing low-resolution results
  • No manual exposure control for high-speed video modes on this specific model

Verdict

The Casio Exilim EX-ZR1000 is a high-speed compact camera featuring a 16.1-megapixel BSI-CMOS sensor and a 12.5x optical zoom lens (24-300mm equivalent) with sensor-shift image stabilisation. Powered by the EXILIM Engine HS 3, it offers exceptional performance metrics including a 0.99-second start-up time, 0.15-second autofocus, and rapid burst shooting up to 30 fps. Notable characteristics include a 3.0-inch 180-degree tilting LCD screen for selfies, a functional control ring around the lens, and support for RAW image capture. Main pros are its impressive 470-shot battery life, extensive high-speed video modes (up to 1000 fps at reduced resolution), and 'Triple Zero' technology that minimises lag and blur. However, cons include a small 1/2.3-inch sensor that struggles in low light, occasional autofocus inconsistencies, and a lack of built-in Wi-Fi.
