The Casio EX-Z1000 is an extremely popular digicam among camera websites and another site to review it is DPreview. On reviewing the digicam, they found it promising on aspects like its excellent resolution, overall image quality, its all-metal body and slim ergonomics, presence of extensive scene modes and special effects and for its fast startup, focus, and shutter lag. What they didn’t like was the digicam’s noisy performance at higher ISOs. its image stabilization mode which they call ‘misleading’, underpowered flash and its tendency to under perform at default settings.

The Casio EX-Z1000 with its 1/1.8" high-res CCD and 10 MP resolutions produces vivid and sharp images. The propriety Exilim Engine like all cameras in the series ensures realistic color tones and prevents images from being over saturated. The camera boasts of a large 2.8" preview LCD (in wide format) for easy viewing and navigation and the extra large 230,400 pixel LCD offers a maximum brightness of 1,200 cd/square meter making viewing possible even in broad daylight. The camera also includes the exclusive Anti Shake DSP technology which ensures sharp images even during low light conditions and high speed shots. There is a Rapid Shot Mode too which lets one take up to three shots per second, enabling high speed flash photography.

They write in the end "The EX-Z1000 is a very easy camera to like; it's fast and responsive in use, user friendly and stylish, and capable of stunning results at low ISO settings. It also has one of the best screens on the market and a well-designed interface and control system. But it's far from perfect; the poor high ISO performance is disappointing (though with files this big you might not be that bothered for small prints) and using the long end of the zoom in anything but very good light results in more focus errors than we'd like to see and an ever-present risk of camera shake."
