Digital Camera Info reviews the Casio Exilim EX-Z57 Digital Camera and writes - 'With a 1/2.5-inch 5 megapixel CCD sensor and large 2.7-inch LCD screen available for under $300 online, the 3.48 x 2.28 x 0.89–inch aluminum alloy Exilim EX-Z57 appears to be an enticing package. Other attention-grabbing elements are the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery that reportedly attains 400 shots per charge (CIPA standards), 23 preset shooting modes, a video capture setting, and despite the scarcity of manual controls, a custom white balance setting. The graphical design of the menu is perhaps the most impressive element of all. The interface graphics are well structured to provide optimal visibility in direct light and dark shooting situations.
However, the camera only appears enticing at first glance. Look closer and the camera has some cardinal deficiencies. While the oversized LCD screen might sound attractive, the Z57’s 2.7“ screen sounds far better than it actually performs. The 115,200 pixel monitor displays images with minimal sharpness and poor color reproduction. The screen itself consumes 3/4 of the back of the frame; a problem when there is no mode dial and the back of the camera houses all controls other than the shutter and power buttons. The cramped layout will limit the camera’s audience, and users with larger hands might forgo the Z57 entirely rather than deal with the headache (or hand ache) of operating it.'
