Casio EX-V8 Review -InfoSync World
A review of the compact Casio EX-V8 digital camera has been posted over at InfoSync World. 'The EX-V8 has an impressive 7X optical zoom lens, especially with its relatively slim size. ISO settings should have offered a little higher than ISO 800, especially when comparable models are shipping with ISO 1600. We’d like to see some better stats from a $300 camera, but it appears most of the money went into the 8.1 megapixel sensor, anti-shake and the 7x internal optical zoom. The auto-focus never seemed to work properly for us. The motor that drove the lens was constantly whirring, and only stopped once we clicked the shutter. The anti-shake made a definite difference, on both video and still shots, working much better than other Casio models we’ve tested. That being said, it usually didn’t matter, because the picture was blurred not by our hand shaking but the failing autofocus.'
