The attractive EX-S770 shoots 7.2-megapixel still images and records high-quality movies in MPEG-4 format. In addition, it features Casio’s Super Bright 2.8-inch wide-screen LCD, but still retains the ultra-slim card size of its predecessors. Its impressive wide-screen display employs a 230,000-pixel LCD that clearly displays images and information down to the smallest detail, and boasts a maximum brightness of around 1100cd/m2—more than bright enough to see outdoors on a sunny day. Casio has also added new functions to make the most of the EX-S770’s new wide screen.
The high-quality stainless steel body of the EX-S770 is the epitome of design elegance and ensures ease of operation as well, while maintaining all the slimness and beauty the EXILIM Card line is renowned for. The EXILIM Card EX-S770 is available in three exciting colors: premium silver, blazing red, and graphite blue.
New Functions
• Wide-aspect movies
In addition to high-quality, VGA-size movies in MPEG-4 format, the EX-S770 can record 16:9 aspect ratio movies compatible with wide-screen TVs, which are growing in popularity. The camera records impressive movies with a simple press of the movie button. There is no need to change modes. It also features an electronic anti-shake function that delivers beautiful movies by minimizing blur from shaky hands.
• Data Storage function
The included Data Transport software enables computer data — including business documents, e-mail, and Web pages — to be automatically converted to JPEG format and transferred to the camera. For instance, tourist attractions and maps that users have looked up on the internet can be viewed on the camera's LCD, eliminating the need to carry around a guidebook. The camera also includes PHOTO TRANSPORT for transferring stored photos in a PC to the camera.
Key features for superior performance
• 7.2 million effective pixels; 3X optical zoom
• Super Bright 2.8-inch wide-screen LCD
• Anti Shake DSP for reducing photo blur due to shaky hands or moving subjects
• BEST SHOT modes deliver great photo results simply by selecting one of 35 sample images to represent the current photo scene
Pocket Lint reviews the Casio Exilim Card EX-S770 where they write - 'Stylish, very very compact, well built and packed with great features, the lack of more manual control might make some look elsewhere and the problems with noise and detail have dropped it a couple of points. But, if you’re not going to make bigger prints, it has to be said that at the £279 price (it’ll be cheaper online, so shop around) if you want a pocketable, smart and snappy-looking snapper, then the Casio Exilim Card EX-S770 might well be worth a gander.'
CNET reviews the Casio Exilim EX-S770 and writes - 'Casio is known for its small cameras and the Exilim EX-S770 carries on that tiny tradition. This 7-megapixel shooter has a few irritating bits, but its size, style, and speed make it a good choice for a pocket point and shoot. The S770 succeeds last year's Exilim EX-S600 by offering a higher resolution and an improved interface. The S770 is a slim and attractive little camera, with a stylish metal body that's available in silver, blue, or bright red. It weighs 5.1 ounces and is only 0.7 inch thick, making it the perfect size to slip into any pocket. The camera manages to feel solid in the hand, but its small body still has drawbacks. The S770's buttons are quite small and flat, making them feel awkward under large thumbs.'
Cameras.co.uk review the Casio Exilim EX-S770 and writes - 'The main attraction of the Casio Exilim EX-S770 is its slim shape and its extra gadget type features. If these prove to be the main requirements when you are buying then you will have to accept a degree of compromise with this camera when it comes to picture quality, especially in lowlight situations. Through its extra slim shape and movie features the Casio Exilim EX-S770 offers something different to other digital cameras. Photo quality is fair without ready hitting the heights, but if you are set on buying a truly small camera then this is an option worth considering.'
Trusted Reviews has a review of the Casio Exilim EX-S770 and writes, "Image quality is also very good. Despite the terminally overcast weather I was able to take some decent test shots, and I was suitably impressed by the level of detail, colour rendition, exposure accuracy and noise control. The lens does suffer from very visible spherical distortion at its widest angle setting, but provides very good overall sharpness right into the corners, with no chromatic aberration visible. There was also a refreshing lack of colour fringing on high-contrast shots. ... Apart from the wide-angle distortion and the CD manual I have nothing but praise for the S770. In my opinion it is currently the best ultra-compact digital camera on the market. Considering build quality, design, performance, value for money and photographic results it is comfortably ahead of the competition in every respect."
IT Reviews has a review of the Casio Exilim EX-S770 and writes, "This is more of a point-and-shoot solution then, like many modern compacts. There are plenty of settings to fine tune if you know your photography and in doing so you can achieve better results. ... The Exilim EX-S770 should appeal to the market it's probably intended for, the semi-casual photographer who wants a slim, compact camera to carry around that'll get decent results with a minimum of fuss, and in this respect it performs admirably."
Megapixel has a review of the Casio Exilim EX-S770 and writes, "The Casio Exilim EX-S770 is a good camera that offers good image quality. It's body design, however, is so thin that it can be a touch impractical. Too often, while holding the camera, the left-hand index finger touches the DATA button, turning off the capture mode, loosing the opportunity for the shot. So while it may be appealing because of the ease with which it can be carried, users should make time to get used to handling it before trying to capture important photos."
PCMag has a review of the Casio Exilim EX-S770 and writes, "The quality of the test images revealed the EX-S770 to be quite an excellent camera. In both daylight and flash shots, it produced stellar images with minimal fringing and vibrant, accurate color. The flash did blow out highlights a little, but you can quickly adjust the strobe's illumination. ... in terms of overall quality and performance, I was very impressed. ... For those who love shooting video, the Casio Exilim EX-S770 comes very close to replacing the Canon's PowerShot SD550, although the Canon still edges it out in quality and performance. But for shooting video and all those eBay lovers, the EX-S770 might be a perfect point-and-shoot digital camera."
DigitalCameraInfo has a review of the Casio Exilim EX-S770 and writes, "The Casio Exilim EX-S770 shares many characteristics with its predecessor, the S600. It has an ultra-slim body that comes in trendy colors and has tiny buttons. It is as cuddly as a box – in other words, it’s not that comfortable to hold and handle. It definitely isn’t made for lengthy photo shoots on the beach. Rather, the S770 is designed to fit in a pocket and take a few pictures at the restaurant before heading into the sunset. The camera has a Best Shot mode for sunsets, in fact, as well as 33 other situations. The 7.2-megapixel Casio S770 has some advantages over its predecessor: a bigger 2.8-inch LCD, dual recording buttons to shoot movies anytime, widescreen movies, and an interesting “data transport” function that allows users to view documents, maps, pictures, and web pages from the camera’s big screen. Basically, the S770 is a typical ultra-compact digital camera with its standard resolution and 3x optical zoom lens, but it adds a few frills. If you’re going to use those frills, then the $299 price tag isn’t all that bad. If all you want is a camera and you won’t ever transfer documents (or you have a Mac and can’t transfer data), then there are other digital cameras that can fulfill your needs for a cheaper price."
Imaging Resource has a review of the Casio EXILIM CARD EX-S770 and writes, "Many of my daylight images turned out just fine, but others were inexplicably underexposed. A look at the levels histogram shows no clipping, but I had to make a pretty significant adjustment to both the highlights and mids to make it all appear properly exposed. ... If you like your cameras slim and trim and like a lot of scene modes, the Casio EXILIM EX-S770 is a good choice. Packed with features, the 7.2 megapixel Casio S770 includes a 3x optical zoom, 34 Best Shot modes, a wide-screen movie mode, a very nice 2.8-inch LCD, and a Rapid Flash mode that lets you fire off three flash shots without having to wait for a recharge. Another interesting new feature is the Casio S770's ability to convert and transfer web pages, emails, and business documents for storing and viewing on the camera's display. While image quality could have been better -- especially its spotty low-light ability and its aggressive anti-noise processing -- the Casio S770 is a decent choice if you're looking for an ultraslim digital camera."
