Casio Camera

The downfall of most ultraslim digital cameras has been poor battery life. The new Casio Exilim EX-Z40 camera delivers more than twice the shots per charge of the company's outgoing Z4U model, Casio says. The 4-megapixel Z40 features a 3X optical zoom lens. Photographers can view their subjects via either an optical viewfinder or a 2-inch LCD. In addition to fully automatic modes, shooters can choose from a variety of programmed and manual modes. The camera has 10MB of built-in memory and can accept either SD or MMC memory cards.
