| Shaped somewhat like an SLR, this digital-camera delivers amazing performance in capturing high-resolution still and video images offering a camera and camcorder in one compact and easy-to-use camera. The ultra-high resolution CCD Chip in the EXILIM PRO EX-P505 effectively delivers 5 million pixels, and 5.25 million pixels in total, so you can create photos with a resolution of up to 2560 x 1920 pixels and movies with up to 640x480 VGA (better than most camcorders). The layout of the EXILIM PRO EX-P505 cannot fail to impress; with its solid grip, quality build and compact proportions. In addition to helpful automatic modes, the EX-P505 offers a wide range of manual options for more creative individuals. It's got all the professional features you need to get the most fun out of the EX-P505. Lens - F3.3 (W) to 3.6 (T); f=6.3 to 31.5mm (equivalent to approximately 38 to 190 mm when converted to 35mm film); 10 lenses in 8 groups, with aspherical lens; lens cap / 5x optical zoom; 8x digital zoom Auto and manual focus modes Programmed auto and manual exposure modes Shutter speed - Normal / Aperture priority AE - 1/8 to 1/2000 sec. / Shutter speed priority AE / Manual exposure - 60 to 1/2000 sec. Rotatable 2 LCD screen Microphone - Built-in stereo / Speaker - Built-in monaural / Playback - Stereo (with CASIO AV cable) BESTSHOT - Simply press the release, your camera will take care of the details!

 Written on September 24, 2005 Summary: Casio Exilim EXP505 Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom I really like this camera, Takes good pictures, it's light and small and very easy to use. Written on September 12, 2005 Summary: Casio Exilim EXP505 I have an artistic eye, but I am not a camera buff (this is my first digital camera.) I like it because it has a 5x optical zoom, yet the body of the camera is very small. I want to carry it with me wherever I go. This camera feels very good in the hand and I find it easy to hold steady. Written on August 31, 2005 Summary: A nice dinky little camera that perform above its size Had this camera for about 2 months for a good trial, still images captured on the 5 MegaPixel sensor is acceptable not great, manual controls like aperture and shutter priority will appeal to the budding amateur looking for more options to practise true photography. The swivel LCD is a real bonus for taking photos above a hoarding crowd, but visibility is less than adequate in bright sunlight. Some of the neat features include a built-in -2EV ND (Neutral Density) filter, a macro setting that automatically kicks in when focusing upclose, a 5 step incremental adjustment of flash intensity, which generally perform better than a normal compact, giving a decent 'throw' up to 6 meters. And not forgeting a very useful fast start-up time of less than a second, plus a good battery life for >200 shots on a single charge. The 5X optical zoom lense perform well on photo. A point to note, the zoom isn't smooth but graduated in 5 steps, a real letdown. The lense will also accept 43mm add-on lense mount or filter, e.g. wide angle lense or a polarizer. The best feature however has to be the 30 fps VGA MPEG-4 capture, with the HQ setting, a 1GB SD card gives you 30 minutes of excellent live action. An added feature lets you record video 5 seconds the shutter is press, nice! With a firmware update, this camera now accepts the newly introduced 2GB SD card. In general, this camera packs a lot of features for its size, definitely worth a look if you want something that is light and compact yet has the tweaks only available on digital SLRs. Written on August 31, 2005 Summary: Almost perfect This is an excellent little Camera, a lot smaller than the pictures would indicate. Not only does it take great stills, but also takes excellent videos. As far as the videos go, this is how I burn them to disk for play in a dvd player. The camera video files (avi files) copy easily to the computer via the usb connection. Each time you turn the record button off, an avi file is created. Use Movie Joiner software to combine all files into one avi file. 2nd, use Cucusoft software to convert the avi file into mpg. 3rd, use Cucusoft software to Author the completed mpg file ( a step needed to create the necessary files for DVD). 3rd, use Nero software to burn the resultant files to DVD (must use blank DVD disks). The only things missing from ths camera that would make it perfect are 1. Anti shake, 2 and EVF to view the subject in brite sunlite. The 5X optical zoom is excellent ! Written on March 24, 2005 Summary: Almost perfect! I'm very happy with this purchase. I've had it for a month now and it has worked flawlessly. It takes great stills, on par with other 5mp cameras, but that's not why I got it. I wanted something that could do decent stills & videos - so I wouldn't need my camcorder anymore. The vids are not quite as good as a DV camcorder, but I'll settle for 90% of dv camcorder quality for the joy of leaving the camcorder at home. Another thing - tape sucks! It takes forever to get a movie on tape into my computer for editing/burning. Saving movies on a SD card rocks! My only gripes are the included software and camera computer interface. Each time you take a movie clip, it is saved on teh SD card as a seperate mpeg4 file. That's OK, except Casio doesn't include an easy way to link the clips together again. The included Movie Wizard software will let you link together clips, but you must save them as dv or mpeg1/2 files which are much bigger and the conversion process is very slow. I searched the net and found a program called avi joiner to quickly splice together mpeg4 clips. As for the camera computer interface, I have had trouble moving large video files from the camera to my HDD. The process errors out and I get a message that the connection to the camera is lost. I have to cycle power on the camera and try again. I always get them off eventually, but it is a pain. I haven't tried it with a different computer, so it might not have anything to do with the camera. But overall I am very happy with the EX-P505 |
