Casio has expanded the High Speed Exilim series of compact cameras with the introduction of the EX-ZR800 model, which replaces the EX-ZR700.

Casio is still manufacturing cameras despite the fact that sales have dropped dramatically during the past few years. Its latest shooter is here to act as an EX-ZR700 replacement and it is called Casio EX-ZR800.

Casio EX-ZR800 compact camera officially revealed with 5-axis IS technology

The Exilim series of cameras now employs a high-quality device that is packed with 5-axis image stabilization technology. The EX-ZR800 will be capable of capturing better photos in low-light environments, which seems to have become a must-have feature recently.

The company says that it is aiming to stick to its “Triple Zero” mantra. It refers to eliminate shutter lag, blurring, and out-of-focus images caused by shakes.

First Exilim camera to feature Time Lapse shooting mode

Casio EX-ZR800 specs list reveals that the camera features an 18x optical zoom lens, which provides a 35mm equivalent of 25-450mm. The camera takes photos with the help of a 16-megapixel 1/2.3″-type BSI CMOS sensor, which is similar to the one found in its predecessor.

It seems like the company is putting a lot of emphasis on low-light capabilities, but it is worth noting that this is the first Exilim camera with a built-in Time Lapse mode.

Time-lapse photography is becoming more common, while Casio is also looking to grab a little more attention with a multitude of modes and filters. The list also includes HDR Art Shot that could be useful for landscape shots.

Just in case there is not enough light in the surrounding areas, the shooter comes packed with an autofocus assist light, as well as a flash.
