In trying to determine which of the many models to choose for a digital camera, it is helpful to have standardized reviews regarding the product. Using one of the online digital camera ratings sites will provide details about the important features of a particular camera in a quantitative format along with explanations of why the feature was rated as it was.

For instance, the digital camera ratings for the Casio Point and Shoot model EX-V8. The design of the from the front, back, top, bottom and each side is considered separately with the camera scoring well on each aspect except the design of the camera bottom. The positive features of the camera include its slim design and the large LCD monitor.

The next step for the defining digital camera ratings for the Exilim is the performance. Some of the standard tests are for color, resolution, noise both at manual and auto settings, white balance at auto and manual settings, dynamic range and speed of operation. The color performance was tested at varying light levels. The video performance tests show similar levels as the still pictures with added influence in some areas.

A description of the components that make up the camera, including the viewfinder (there is none), the flash, the LCD screen and the zoom lens shows the V8 in good light with the zoom lens definitely a positive feature. The 7x zoom is higher than most point and shoot cameras, that average around 3x.

All in all, the EXilim Ex-V8 is a good choice for the money and shows up very well in digital camera ratings. It’s very portable and provides excellent pictures for mid-skill level photographers.
