Casio announces super-slim

Still touting its cameras as "the world's slimmest," this time Casio puts the claim on a digital camera with a wide-angle 4x optical zoom. The 8.1-megapixel EXILIM Zoom EX-Z150 sports a nice and wide 28 - to 112mm (f/2.6 to 5.9) lens and is just 0.79 of an inch thick-and even thinner in some sections. The overall dimensions (3.81 × 2:26 × 0.79 inches) and weight (4.44 oz, excluding battery and accessories) make it extremely pocketable, but it's the versatile lens and the nice and big 3.0-inch LCD that stand out for me. Stuffed Casio has the diminutive camera with a ton of features, such as sensor-shift image stabilization, face detection technology from OKI Electric Industry, 22 Best Shot Modes scene, as well as a "YouTube Capture Mode" (640 × 480, 30 fps ) with software for easy Uploading.

The EX-Z150 ships for $ 199.99 in September and will be available in silver, black, red, pink and green.
