Verdict

The Casio Exilim EX-ZS10 is an ultra-compact digital camera featuring a 14.1-megapixel 1/2.3-inch CCD sensor and a 5x optical zoom lens with a 26–130mm equivalent focal range. Key characteristics include a 2.7-inch TFT LCD display, 720p HD video recording at 30fps, and 23 'Best Shot' scene modes designed for beginners. Its main pros are its slim stainless-steel body, USB in-camera charging convenience, and tracking autofocus capabilities. However, notable cons include the lack of optical image stabilization, slow operational speeds with a roughly three-second shot-to-shot delay, and the inability to use optical zoom while recording video.
