The Casio EXILIM EX-ZR700 is a quick, well-equipped travel zoom with good stabilization, but its RAW mode is hidden and its aperture is hard to set.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Casio EXILIM EX-ZR700

  • 470 shots per charge covers a day of photos.
  • Sensor-shift stabilization helps keep handheld shots steady.
  • Slow-motion video adds fun to short clips.
  • HDR mode balances bright skies and dark shadows.
  • A base ISO of 80 keeps noise low in bright light.
  • At 222 g it is easy to carry in a jacket pocket.

What customers don't like about Casio EXILIM EX-ZR700

  • Only 9 focus points limit autofocus flexibility.
  • Video stops at 29 min per clip.
  • A 2 stops stabilization rating is modest for shaky hands.
  • No Wi-Fi makes sending photos to a phone harder.
  • No touchscreen, so every change needs buttons.

Verdict

Long battery life is the first thing to like about the Casio EXILIM EX-ZR700, a pocket camera for people who forget to pack a charger. It is rated for 470 shots per charge, and the 222 g body fits in a jacket pocket. Sensor-shift stabilization helps keep handheld shots steady, though 2 stops is modest for shaky hands. Slow-motion video and HDR mode add fun to everyday scenes, and the base ISO of 80 keeps noise low in bright light. The trade-off is autofocus and video: there are only 9 focus points, and video stops at 29 min per clip. There is no Wi-Fi and no touchscreen either. It suits a relaxed holiday photographer who wants a simple camera that lasts and takes good daytime pictures.
