Being an ultra-compact, the Z1050 is easily pocketable, considering its small size of 91 x 57 x 24 mm. The lithium-ion battery keeps the weight light at 165 g.

The overall look of the camera is quite simple and minimalistic – just a few basic buttons to get the job done. Thanks to simple and intuitive menu system, functioning stays quick and spiffy.

The camera's default image aspect ratio is 4:3 (in 10.1 megapixels) but as you go down in image size, you also get to select resolutions of 3:2 and 16:9 aspect ratios. Even under sharp outdoor lighting, the display is clearly visible.

A unique feature in the Z1050 is its high-speed continuous shooting mode, where it shoots at 7 frames per second – higher than most consumer cameras can normally achieve. The best part is that the number of shots you take in continuous mode is only limited by your memory card capacity.

The only drawback is that the images shot are at 2 megapixels, but then again, shooting at that speed at full resolution is practically impossible.

The other feature, which is not so unique, is the Best Shot (BS) mode, which is basically scene selection mode. The Exilim series has always had some intuitive BS modes like Autumn Leaves, Soft Flowing Water, Backlight and Retro, along with the standard Portrait, Landscape, etc.

But how well these modes affect the actual picture quality can only be seen in the performance tests.

The first thing I noticed about the camera was its speed. It started in approximately 2 seconds, took 2 seconds between consecutive shots (without flash, at full resolution), and also 2 seconds to shut down. These speeds are pretty good by any standards for a compact consumer digicam.

Great camera, Casio Z1050 is my 7th digital camera (after 3 Fuji's, Canon SD900, Nikon P3, Sony W100) and this is what I was expecting from a pocket size P/S ! A compact, well designed, quick, and the most important - giving you a really sharp pictures like no other from my previous cameras. There are obviously some features that could make this small wonder even better (LCD resolution) but for me, the clarity and colours of the printed picture is what counts and Casio Z1050 delivered it !!!

Casio can make brilliant masterpieces....Wen I lukked around for my digicam no brand even came closer in terms of body finish and colors as did Casio. I give Casio 1050 a 10/10 on appearance and 8/10 on picture qualty. An overall 9/10 value for money buy.

I do not agree with the reviewer. This camera got spoilt within 2 months of me buying it. The worst part is that they do not have a service centre in Pune and I have to go all the way to Bombay to get it repaired. Imagine a digital camera going bad. I thought we had passed that era.
