The new Casio pocket-sized digital packs a lot of stuff into a small body.
Capture all your best, and worst, moments at a big, high-rez, 10.1 megapixels, while the anti-shake feature keeps your shots sharp. No matter how drunk and wobbly you are. And the super bright 2.6" LCD monitor makes it easy to ensure you're framing the shot right, in mid-day sun, or a low-light club. (You'd hate to key in on the bachelor, only to cut off the strippers' heads.)
Tired of fuzzy faces? The Face Recognition software focuses in on the person you intend to shoot, not the big tree behind them. And for you budding paparazzi, the quick performance feature can track your subject until the shutter is pressed, giving you a sharp shot, no matter how fast they are trying to elude you.
A big plus is Casio's MPEG-4 H.264 video compression and exclusive YouTube Capture Mode software. If you think the video of your buddy, drunkenly hitting on what you are positive is a guy in a leopard print dress and bad wig, is the next big viral video sensation, the Z1080 lets you capture about 1.5 times more video with the same memory capacity and pic quality. But for true shaming convenience, the Youtube capture software allows you to upload the incriminating video right from the camera to the Youtube servers,
without ever logging into the site, for instant, world-wide embarrassment. (It also captures at 16:9, should you ever decide to play it back for him on your big screen during the next Super Bowl party.)
