The Casio EX-P505 digital camera comes in a nice black box

Casio Exilim EX-P505 Digital Camera Review:digitalcamerainfo.com

Fortunately, Casio included a nice wrist strap that has the look of a cushy neck strap. The buttons on the back are colored black, just like the rest of the camera body - they blend in a little too well. The Casio Exilim EX-P505's menu system is quite confusing. The camera body is compact, but the 2-inch LCD can fold outwards and rotate in classic camcorder style to provide added shooting flexibility. *
"
The P505 has 5 effective megapixels for still imaging on its 1/2.5-inch CCD and full VGA resolution in its four movie modes"
"
fully manual mode, aperture and shutter priority modes"
"
the menus are well labeled with text and there are several live views, which is always a handy feature."
"
With its 3.88 x 2.19 x 2.89-inch measurements, this diminutive digital camera is quite portable."
"
Users can edit movies more effectively in the camera"
"
The Casio EX-P505 has a skinny lithium-ion battery"

its picture quality was mediocre.

The five primary video modes are Portrait, Scenery, Fireworks, NightScene, and Silent. The display is particularly handy at revealing the secrets behind the 22 still-scene settings, most of which are useful. *

Neutral colour and contrast equals good skin!. The 0.01-second claim for shutter lag appears credible, too - you can't glean any sense of pause at all. *

"
There are three different types of compression modes so you can decide how detailed and clear you want each of your pictures"

Color a little dull in still images

The Casio Exilim PRO EX-P505 captures surprisingly sharp video and decent stills without weighing you down.
"
Color a little dull in still images"
"
five Best Shot video scene modes"
"
The quality of the videos is quite good for a digital camera, recording a TV-like 30 frames per second at 640 x 480-resolution in the HQ mode."
"
You'll be more impressed when you take your SD card out and pop it into your notebook; the videos we recorded in HQ mode took up the majority of our laptop's screen and looked great, although some of the yellows seemed a bit oversaturated."
"
high-quality digital video recording capabilities"
"

"
shutter lag is inconsequential when the flash is turned off, clocking in at just 0.01 seconds."

passable 640x480 MPEG-4 video

Casio Exilim Pro EX-P505:CNet

We were able to snap 934 photos before the battery finally gave up. A video shot can last until the SD card is full, except when recording in Short Movie mode. Its maximum aperture of f/3.3 to f/3.6 is remarkably consistent, though it's a bit slow for low-light photography. Exposure levels were generally accurate with a broad dynamic range. The camera became slow to focus as the light level dropped, and the focus and exposure accuracy declined. The onscreen menus are bright and easy to navig... *

"
The camera may be small, but it lacks both the slim shape of a point-and-shoot and the features - such as an optical viewfinder, a flash shoe, and support for external lenses - that justify the heft of more-advanced cameras."
