Compact Casio Digital Camera


Casio's Exilim EX-P505 digital still camera packs a 5X optical zoom and a 5-megapixel image sensor into a compact body.

Unlike many other digital cameras, the Exilim EX-P505 has a short shutter lag (the delay between when the shutter is pressed and the image captured) of only 0.01 seconds. The camera is ready to take a picture 0.8 seconds after it is first switched on. Other noteworthy functions include VGA-quality MPEG4 video recording at 30 frames per second and a 2-inch LCD monitor that flips out from behind the camera.

The Exilim EX-P505 measures just under 4 by 2.22 by 3 inches; it weighs 7.5 ounces. Its battery life is sufficient for 220 images, according to Casio. The camera goes on sale in February in both Japan and the U.S., and in March will be marketed in Europe. It will cost $500 in the U.S. Lets take a guess as to the UK Price shall we?
