Casio Exilim EX-Z19 Review
The Exilim EX-Z19 is a low-cost compact camera from Casio. It is a mid-range model in the Exilim line-up, featuring a 9.1-megapixel 1/2.5-inch sensor, 3x zoom lens and 2.6-inch LCD monitor. Its specification it is fairly unspectacular, lacking the ultra-compact sleekness of the EX-Z85, or the wide-angle 4x zoom of new EX-150. However with a retail price of around £120 it will appeal to those looking for a basic, easy-to-use camera on a tight budget.
The Z19 has a rather plain aluminium body. Despite what it says on Casio’s website it measures 92 x 55 x 25mm and weighs 127g excluding battery, which is about average for a current ultra-compact. Its overall design is virtually indistinguishable from any one of dozens of similar compacts from other manufacturers, such as the Pentax S-series, or the Fujifilm J-series. Like most of Casio’s ultra-compacts it is available in a wide range of colours, including two shades of pink, black, the silver shown here and something that I can only describe as pee green. The overall build quality is quite good, but the body does creak a little when squeezed.
