Casio speeds Exilim compact camera

The EX-ZR15 is a new high-speed compact camera from Casio that starts up in 0.99 seconds, focuses in 0.13 seconds, and has shot-to-shot times as low as 0.29 seconds.

The fast performance also underlies multi-shot functions such as HDR, blurred backgrounds, and stitched-together panoramas.

“The EX-ZR15 allows users to experience the pleasure of continuous shooting so no important moments are missed,” the company says, “even when using shooting modes that apply complex image processing needed for difficult scenarios, such as the HDR and HS night scene modes.”

The latest Exilim model also has 7x lens that zooms from 28 to 196mm, 3-inch LCD, and a 16 megapixel CMOS sensor.

The EX-ZR15 is $330.
