The Casio Exilim EX-Z300 is a handy, compact camera. At 23mm wide it will fit into most pockets, but it is not one of the truly ultra slim models you can buy.
It has 10 megapixels and a 4x optical zoom lens. The zoom lens has wide angle capabilities. This can help when you are trying to squeeze some extra width into a shot. Typical examples of when you may wish to do this are if you are photographing landscapes, interiors, buildings or groups of people.
Casio have built a small amount of memory into the camera. When you first get the Exilim EX-Z300 this will allow you to take a small number of tests shots, but you will also need to pick up a SD or SDHC memory card if you do not already have one.
One of the key attractions of the Exilim EX-Z300 is likely to be the fact it is easy to use. Casio have designed this camera with ease of use in mind rather than packing it with features you may never use.
The Exilim EX-Z300 is available in a variety of colours including black, silver and pink.
