Casio Exilim EX-Z600

Performance
Image sharpness was not consistent in the results. On one hand the close-ups and portrait shots showed good detail all throughout the image, the landscape mode left the sharpness level at its peak only towards the center of the image. The edges in the landscape shots seemed duller than the center of the image, which is not a good thing, especially considering that it's the landscape shots where edge-to-edge sharpness is mainly required.

With that out of the way, the Z600 performed amicably in all our tests. All colors were accurately reproduced, right up to the subtle gradients in our flower macro shots. Even though the camera doesn't boast any facial recognition technology, the focus was spot on, in most instances.

I especially loved the camera's performance in low light. When I took the shot below in night portrait mode (no flash, using a tripod), the Z600 made the most of the available light and the result showed a room that was a lot brighter than what it really was. That too with minimal overall quality deterioration.

I've already mentioned the camera's fast response time, which even extends to its shooting speeds. Just a second to start up and a second to shut down seems impressive enough, but when the shot to shot time (without flash) took a mere second, it was nothing short of unbelievable.
