he EX-Z500 is a very slim and compact camera, similar in overall style to Pentax’s Optio S range. Previous Casio compacts had made use of Pentax’s innovative Sliding Lens System, allowing them to be among the slimmest digital cameras on the market, but the Z500 appears to have a completely new lens. It is similar in design and appearance to the Pentax system, but it is physically smaller, giving the camera a thickness of just 20.5mm. It also opens and closes more quickly, giving the EX-Z500 a start-up time of about one second. It has significantly better optical performance too, but we’ll come back to that later.

The exterior design of the EX-Z500 is extremely sleek and sophisticated. It has a strong all-metal body, and is available in either black or silver, both colours having an attractive matt brushed finish. The casing is very resistant to scratches, as is the LCD screen. I accidentally carried the camera in a pocket with my keys for several hours, but it survived without a mark.

Verdict

The Casio Exilim EX-Z500 is a superb mid-range pocket snapshot camera at a competitive price. It has style, performance, a good list of features and the picture quality to match. The Best Shot mode will be useful for beginners, while the versatile menu options will appeal to the more experienced user. All in all, an excellent little camera.
