Casio EX-V8SR Exilim Hi-Zoom Digital Camera

The Exilim EX-V8 offers the perfect balance between sleek, stylish looks and high performance functionality. The Exilim EX-V8 features a 7X Optical Zoom Lens in a small, stylish camera.  Now a camera this small allows you to capture stunningly detailed images from a distance.

This latest edition to the Exilim line of digital cameras features the newest movie format – MPEG-4 H.264/AVC recording – which provides recording and playback of high-resolution video at remarkably small file sizes. In addition to increased resolution, you'll also increase compression speed so the length of video recording is limited only by your memory card.

Single movie is limited to a file size of 4GB

There are also four technologies integrated into the EX-V8 to reduce blurring. The EX-V8 is powered by the Exilim Engine 2.0 for high resolution, high performance, high speed, power saving and ultra-compact configuration. It's packed with even more impressive features such as 8.1 megapixels, 2.5” Super Bright LCD, 34 Photo Best Shot Modes and 10 Movie Best Shot Modes.
