Strengths: 7x zoom. Optical zooming during video. Small size.
Weakness: Dissapointing video quality.
I'm a big fan of Exilim series and I thought that finally a product is out which will be able to be used both as camcorder and camera, since this Casio as very good video capabilities (with optical zoom, stereo sound, anti-shake and mpeg4 video). However, I was very disappointed with its video capability. It cannot properly focus while recording, so it is only good for recording non-moving...
Strengths: easy to use, H.264, 848x480, 30fps
Weakness: 1. Each continuous recorded video file could have maximum 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the video recording stop automatically. Need to start manually the new video recording. 2. No AC power plug-in.
In last 2 years I have used Casio Exilim P505 and S600 for hundred of hours. I have experienced EX-V7 from about 60 days. EX-V7 has better video.
Strengths: 7x optical zoom, NO external lens to break. Optical zoom while shooting video. Compact size. Image stabilizer. Anti Shake DSP detects movement & adjusts for the ideal ISO rate and shutter speed.
Weakness: Instructions are not that in depth. It is a little pricey for a 7M pixel camera, but is worth the extra copst for it's size and features.
I have had the camera for almost 3 weeks and took it on a trip. It has been a great camera that shoots both pics and video. Very happy with the purchase.
Strengths: Good specs, if it worked it would be terrific.
Weakness: Defective out of box.
What a disappointment. This camera seemed to be a great replacement for my old 2MP unit. Some reviews on it not so good, but I decided to take a chance. To my horror, it powered up with a "stabilizer not available" error. A call to Casio confirmed this was a common issue with this camera. It isn't functional, powers itself off after the error. I am disappointed and still looking for a camera.
THE GOOD: 7x optical zoom lens; sensor-shift image stabilization THE BAD: Awkward control system; slow f/3.4-5.3 maximum aperture range; merely average image quality THE BOTTOM LINE: Casio tries to make a statement with the EX-V7s 7x optical zoom and sensor-shift image stabilization, but awkward controls and ho-hum image quality make this camera merely mediocre.

Casio is a unique brand and the Casio EX-V7 is a good example of their uniqueness. The camera not only has a very fine design, but it is filled with special features. The Casio Exilim EX-V7 is the most compact camera with a 7x optical zoom. It is quite an achievement to fit this much range in such a small body.

The Casio EX-V7 is a slim 7 megapixel digital camera with a 7x zoom lens equivalent to 38-266mm. Casio proudly boast that the EX-V7 is "the world’s slimmest digital camera with a 7x optical zoom lens", a claim that Ricoh's R6 camera may contest. The first model in the new Hi-Zoom category (so expect further releases soon), the Casio EX-V7 also features a 2.5 inch LCD, dual image stabilizer,...
