Introduction

Casio Launches the EX-ZS10, a Slim-line Camera Built with Both Style and Substance

New addition to Exilim range offers premium looks and performance, without a premium price tag

London, UK. 4th January 2011 — Casio Electronics Co. Ltd has announced the launch of the EX-ZS10, perfect for those after an ultra-stylish and high performance camera on a budget.

Impressive features
Building on its popular predecessor, the EX-Z350, Casio’s EX-ZS10 conceals 14 megapixels in its slim design case and features a wealth of high performing functions.

Featuring Casio’s Easy Mode, which always guarantees effortlessly great pictures, this camera ensures users don’t need to worry about presettings or applying the wrong settings by mistake. The camera’s face detection function stops photo blur by recognising the individual faces or even entire groups and automatically applying the best possible setting. Its large 6.9 cm (2.7 inch) TFT colour display takes up the entire reverse of the camera, ensuring a clear view of all subjects, stored photos or films, and the camera can be charged via USB for increased convenience. The EX-ZS10 can record movies in HD, meaning your precious moments will be captured in perfect clarity.

A luxe look for less
These features are encased in the EX-ZS10’s sleek exterior with its sharp edge body.  This is achieved by using stainless steel rather than the standard aluminium for the casing and with its finely-honed bodywork, the elegant and sophisticated looking camera belies its value price tag.

In addition to the minimalistic stainless-steel silver, the camera is also available in black, red, pink and blue.

The chic EX-ZS10 can be purchased at www.casioonline.co.uk and leading photographic retailers.
