The 7.2 million pixel Exilim Zoom EX-Z75 is the second new offering from Casio today. The replacement to the EX-Z70 (announced last June), the EX-Z75 - like the EX-Z1050 above - adds a wide aspect (14:9) 2.6-inch screen, but is otherwise a fairly minor upgrade.

Casio Introduces Stylish New 7.2 Megapixel Digital Camera

Generous new 2.6 inch wide LCD display makes camera information easier to see, more user-friendly

London, January 30, 2007 — Casio Electronics Co. Ltd. and its parent company Casio Computer Co., Ltd., announced the introduction of the EXILIM Zoom EX-Z75, a new addition to its stylish series of EXILIM® digital cameras. This latest member of the EXILIM family features a newly developed wide LCD display for improved image viewing and ease of use, and delivers an effective 7.2 megapixels.

The EX-Z75 can display information on the right side of the ample screen, separate from the subject shown on the monitor whilst shooting. It enables users to quickly change settings on the information display when shooting. In Easy Mode, menus for simplifying a wide array of camera settings (flash, self-timer and image size) are also shown on the right side of the monitor for easy viewing and use.
