Casio forgets to make new camera interesting

If you know anyone who has asked for just a basic point-and-shoot camera to stick in their back pocket, point them to the Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z29. Priced at US$149.95, this 10-megapixel ultracompact camera is low on features outside of having 23 Best Shot scene modes and the ability to set the menu system color to one of six options: Black, chocolate, cinnamon, rose, sky blue, and olive green.

Up front is a pedestrian 3x F2.8-5.2 38-113mm-equivalent lens, and in back is a 2.7-inch LCD for framing your shots. Here's hoping at least it's a fast performer.

The EX-Z29 will be available in the US from April.
