Casio Exilim: Used Models, Prices and the Digicam Look

The short answer

A used Casio Exilim is one of the cheaper ways into the digicam look: six Poshmark listings marked sold in October 2026 ran $30 to $75 across models like the EX-Z750, EX-Z75 and EX-S770.

Reviewers at the time praised the thin metal bodies, quick handling and long battery life, and warned about noisy pictures in dim light and, on some models, a weak flash.

The short version

Exilim was Casio's digital camera brand from 2002 until Casio stopped making cameras in April 2018. The models wanted for the digicam look are the older CCD ones: Wikipedia says the January 2008 EX-F1 was the first Exilim with a CMOS sensor, so earlier models should be CCD. Owner posts were thin on the pages that could be read, so most opinions here come from launch-era reviews plus a small group of owners.

On a camera this old, condition matters more than the model number. The fault owners report most is a lens that won't extend or retract, and no US repair price turned up, so buy a tested camera that comes with its battery and its cradle or charger.

Good fit if

  • You want a thin pocket camera: the Card series was typically 10-15 mm thick when rival compacts were 25-35 mm
  • You like bold color with a little grain straight out of the camera, the look owners compare to film
  • You want plain SD cards instead of the Memory Stick cards many old Sony Cyber-shots need
  • You want a cheap way in: sold Poshmark listings ran $30 to $75 in October 2026

Think twice if

  • You shoot indoors without flash: Imaging Resource found the EX-S600 noisy above ISO 200 and EX-Z75 shots soft and noisy indoors
  • You want to zoom while filming: the EX-H5 and EX-FH100 can't use optical zoom in movie mode
  • You can't see the lens work before you pay: lens errors are the most reported fault, and spare lens parts are hard to find
  • You want RAW files: Casio hid raw capture in a service menu, and only on some models

Which Casio Exilim models are worth looking for?

These are the Exilims that come up in reviews, repair guides and US listings. Years, megapixels and sensor sizes come from Wikipedia's Exilim model table unless noted. Sources disagree on one date: Wikipedia lists the EX-S600 as October 2005 (its announcement), while Imaging Resource gives March 2006 for availability.

ModelYearSensorWhy look for it

What owners and reviewers say, topic by topic

We sorted 142 opinions about the Exilim from 35 pages and videos on 15 websites and channels. Each row shows how many people raised a topic and how many of them were positive. Open a row to read short quotes, each linked to its source.

Most of the 142 opinions here come from reviews written when these cameras were new: Imaging Resource, Trusted Reviews, What Digital Camera, Photography Blog and CNET, 15 each. Owner voices are thin: 29 come from owners (15 posts in Flickr Exilim groups, six from a 2020 blog post and its comments, and eight points from an owner's YouTube review of the EX-S1). Reddit, DPReview and retailer reviews could not be read. A PhoneArena video about the Casio Exilim flip phone was left out, since it is a cell phone, not one of these cameras.

  1. Image look42% positiveof 24

    Split: reviewers and owners liked the sharp detail and bold color of models like the EX-Z1000 and EX-Z75, and an owner and a used-camera shop say the CCD look is bolder and less clinical than a phone's. Budget models such as the EX-Z33 and EX-S880 drew complaints about noise, soft corners and oversaturated color.

  2. Ease of use64% positiveof 22

    Mostly positive: fast start-up, quick autofocus and clear menus come up again and again. The steady complaint is small, flat or recessed buttons on slim models like the EX-Z75, EX-S10 and EX-S12.

  3. Low light and flash47% positiveof 17

    Leaning positive but mixed: the EX-S880 and EX-S12 focus quickly in dim light, and a commenter with ZR models calls high-ISO shots fine for a compact. The EX-S10's flash was underpowered, and two EX-Z1000 owners report weak low-light results, one with pixelated, red-dotted shots.

  4. Video31% positiveof 13

    Mostly negative: the EX-H5 and EX-FH100 can't use optical zoom while filming, and CNET would not recommend the EX-ZS10 for more than casual filming. The exceptions are fans of lo-fi 720p clips and the full HD EX-F1.

  5. Build quality100% positiveof 11

    Entirely positive: reviewers and owners describe solid, often metal bodies, from the budget EX-Z33 to the matte-black EX-FH100.

  6. Screen and viewfinder55% positiveof 11

    Mixed but leaning positive: 2.7- and 3-inch screens on later models were called bright and sharp, and the ZR selfie models have a flip-up screen. The EX-Z75's screen washed out in noon sun, and the EX-Z1000's was hard to read at full zoom.

  7. Batteries and charging55% positiveof 11

    Mostly positive when the cameras were new: reviewers and an EX-Z750 owner praised the battery life. The catches today are old packs that run down fast, models that charge in a cradle, and a faulty NP-20 batch that one Flickr commenter says Casio knew about.

  8. Size and weight100% positiveof 10

    Entirely positive: the Card models were among the thinnest cameras of their day, and one EX-Z1050 owner carries it in foul weather where an SLR would stay home.

  9. Memory cards and transfer44% positiveof 9

    Mixed: SD cards are cheap and easy to find, and later models send photos to a phone. Older USB transfer was slow, AVI movie files fill cards fast, and the 2002 EX-S1 takes SD cards of 2 GB at most.

  10. Reliability today14% positiveof 7

    Thin evidence, mostly negative: Flickr owners report lenses that would not extend or retract (EX-S500, EX-Z75), a 2020 blogger's EX-Z1000 forgets some settings, and one poster's two-month-old EX-FH20 cracked its screen, which the poster blamed on being squeezed in a bag. One owner used an EX-Z2300 for eight years.

  11. Price and value86% positiveof 7

    Positive: Trusted Reviews called the EX-Z75 excellent value and CNET called the EX-ZS10 nearly a bargain at launch, and one Flickr owner found a mint EX-S5 at a garage sale for $5. One reviewer thought $500 retail a bit much for a high-speed model.

Which Casio Exilim models have a CCD sensor?

Exilim ran from 2002 to 2018, so the name covers very different cameras. For the CCD digicam look, the dividing line is January 2008: Wikipedia says the EX-F1, a high-speed 12x zoom camera from that month, was the first Exilim with a CMOS sensor, so the 2002-2007 models should be CCD cameras. Spec pages confirm CCDs in the EX-Z55 (iFixit), the EX-S500 (K&M Camera) and the EX-Z70 (Imaging Resource), for example.

For later models, check the exact model number. The sources here don't give the sensor type for most 2008-2018 Exilims. Dutch Thrift calls the 2011 EX-ZS10 a CCD camera, so the CCD era may not end in 2008, and one Poshmark seller listing an EX-S7 as CCD is a seller claim, not a spec sheet. Retro Digitals adds a useful warning: the sensor label alone doesn't tell you how warm or contrasty a camera looks, so compare sample photos taken in the light you shoot in. For the bigger picture, see what a digicam is.

Casio is largely missing from popular digicam lists: Retro Digitals' CCD guide doesn't mention it, and Vintage Camera Hut pitches Exilims mainly on slimness, for pockets, small bags and nights out.

Quick rule: an Exilim announced before 2008 should be a CCD camera, since the EX-F1 was the first CMOS one. For anything newer, look up that model before you pay CCD prices.

What to check before buying a used Casio Exilim

These checks come from digicam sellers' buying guides and iFixit repair threads. Ask a private seller to show them on video or send the photo files.

  1. 1

    It powers on and the lens moves smoothly

    Vintage Camera Hut lists this first, along with a camera that saves photos, a flash that fires and a screen that works. A lens that stalls or shows 'lens error' is the fault Exilim owners report most.

  2. 2

    Buttons, zoom and battery work

    The same checklist asks for responsive buttons and zoom, a battery that holds a charge, a compatible charger in the box and a known card type.

  3. 3

    Look closely at the lens, screen, latch and ports

    Used-camera shop Dutch Thrift says to check lens clarity, the screen, the battery latch and the USB and charging ports to avoid costly repairs.

  4. 4

    Ask for a photo of something far away

    View it on a computer, not the camera screen. iFixit threads describe washed-out distance shots that owners blame on a sticking iris (EX-S600, EX-Z850) and horizontal lines across saved photos from a failing sensor or flex cable (EX-Z850).

  5. 5

    Read the listing words

    'Untested' and 'dead battery' in one title (an EX-S8 at $64 on Poshmark) means you carry the risk. Cameras listed for parts or 'lens error' were $16 to $24 on Poshmark. Vintage Camera Hut notes a tested camera with battery and charger can beat a cheaper bare body.

  6. 6

    Watch for 'U' models

    A model number ending in U, such as the EX-Z4U, was sold only in North America with some functions removed, per Wikipedia; the EX-Z4U has no video.

Which battery, charger and memory card does a Casio Exilim take?

Exilims run on Casio lithium-ion packs. The two you'll meet most are the NP-20 (700 mAh claimed), used in the early Card models and in Zoom models such as the EX-Z3 and EX-Z75, and the thicker NP-40 (1230 mAh), used in Zoom models such as the EX-Z750 and EX-Z1000. Many Exilims shipped with a charging cradle that also connects the camera to a computer or a PictBridge printer, so a bare body needs either that cradle or a separate charger: Wasabi Power lists the BC-11L for the NP-20 and the BC-30L for the NP-40 family. Retro Digitals' rule for any charger is to use one made for that exact battery and never charge a swollen or damaged pack.

Cards are simpler. Every Exilim takes SD or MMC cards and has a little internal memory. SDHC support depends on the model, and some need a firmware update first (version 1.02 on the EX-S600, 1.01 on the EX-Z70 and EX-Z700). On models from before 2006, when SDHC arrived, a standard SD card of 2 GB or less is the safe choice; Retro Digitals sells one for $14. Casio still hosts camera manuals online, and its firmware page asks for the serial number printed on the bottom of the camera.

How to get the digicam look from a Casio Exilim

WhatCameraGear sums up the digicam look as direct flash, high contrast, slightly grainy shadows and warm, nostalgic color. These starting points come from digicam shops, Imaging Resource and owners. More ideas are in our guide to the Y2K digicam look.

  1. 1

    Daylight: shade, flash off, low ISO

    Retro Digitals suggests open shade or late-afternoon light, flash off and ISO 100-200 where the camera offers it.

  2. 2

    Night: direct flash, close subject

    Turn the flash on, keep your subject a few feet away and let the background go dark, per Retro Digitals.

  3. 3

    Warm it up with white balance

    Set white balance to 'cloudy' on a sunny day for a warmer, more nostalgic tone, another Retro Digitals tip.

  4. 4

    Push color in the menu

    Casio gives you contrast, sharpness and saturation settings and eight white-balance options (on the EX-S600), plus BestShot scene modes that include an 'old photo' mode.

  5. 5

    Raise ISO only if you want grain

    Imaging Resource found the EX-S600 noisy above ISO 200. A 2020 blogger says the EX-Z1000's higher-ISO shots are less clean and sharp, but likes the look.

  6. 6

    Try Rapid Flash at parties

    On the EX-Z700, Rapid Flash fires three flash shots in one second; Imaging Resource notes it roughly halves flash range and raises ISO to 800.

  7. 7

    Edit lightly

    In a YouTube review of the EX-S1, Matt Loves Cameras found the unedited JPEGs a bit flat and a light edit brought out the vintage look.

Known problems and what fixing them costs

These are the faults Exilim owners and iFixit's repair pages describe; no US shop quote for an Exilim repair turned up, and no Casio recall was found.

Lens error: the lens won't extend or retract

Raised in 3 opinions

How you notice
The lens jams part-way, grinds or clicks, or the screen shows 'lens error' and the camera shuts off. Flickr owners report it on an EX-S500 after about a year and a half and on an EX-Z75. iFixit threads blame grit in the barrel, a drop with the lens out or worn gears.
Fix
Pull the battery for 5 seconds and reinsert it. Blow out grit with compressed air, or hold a shop-vac hose over the lens, switch the vacuum on, then the camera. If that fails, the lens assembly has to be replaced: iFixit has guides for the EX-Z850 and EX-Z55, but an iFixit answer says spare lens parts are almost impossible to find, so a donor camera is the practical source.
Typical cost
No US shop quote was found. Poshmark sellers listed 'lens error' or parts cameras at $16 to $24 on November 2, 2026, about what a donor costs; one iFixit commenter said a shop's repair price was many times what the camera was worth.

Sources: ifixit.com, ifixit.com, ifixit.com, ifixit.com, ifixit.com, ifixit.com, flickr.com, flickr.com, poshmark.com

Washed-out distance shots (suspected sticking iris)

How you notice
Close-ups look fine but anything past about 10 feet comes out white, and over time close shots overexpose too. Reported on the EX-S600 and EX-Z850; one owner who had eight EX-S600 bodies says they all eventually did it.
Fix
No fix is documented. An iFixit reply suggests checking for loose connections with the EX-Z850 motherboard guide, and notes that bent or corroded iris blades are hard to clean.
Typical cost
No quote found; treat it as a reason to pass on the camera.

Sources: ifixit.com

Horizontal lines across photos

How you notice
Lines appear in saved photos, not only on the screen, which points to the image sensor or its flex cable rather than the display (reported on the EX-Z850).
Fix
An iFixit answer says to replace the sensor flex (iFixit's EX-Z850 motherboard guide shows it) and check the board for corrosion. No spare sensor turned up, so the answer suggests watching auction sites for a donor camera.
Typical cost
No quote found; Poshmark parts cameras were $16 to $24 on November 2, 2026.

Sources: ifixit.com, ifixit.com, poshmark.com

Black, ghosted or cracked screen

Raised in 1 opinion

How you notice
On the EX-Z850, owners describe a black screen with faint detail, or live view that looks like two pictures overlaid, while the lens moves and photos still save. A Flickr poster says an EX-FH20's screen cracked two months after purchase with no visible outside damage, and guesses it was squeezed in a camera bag.
Fix
The iFixit thread has no confirmed fix. Check that the battery is fully charged first; iFixit's EX-Z850 page points to a repair guide if the screen is cracked.
Typical cost
No quote found.

Sources: ifixit.com, ifixit.com, flickr.com

Camera won't turn on

Raised in 2 opinions

How you notice
No response to the power button. iFixit lists a drained or bad battery, a battery put in the wrong way, or debris holding the power button down. A Flickr commenter says Casio acknowledged a faulty batch of NP-20 batteries and replaced a relative's pack that would not charge, a secondhand account.
Fix
Charge the pack in its cradle or a charger, reinsert it the right way round, and try the Play button, which iFixit says can wake the camera into playback. An old pack may simply be worn out.
Typical cost
$9.99 to $12.99 for a new third-party NP-40 or NP-60 (Focus Camera, Wasabi Power, November 2, 2026); Wasabi's $10.99 NP-20 was sold out.

Sources: ifixit.com, ifixit.com, flickr.com, wasabipower.com, focuscamera.com, wasabipower.com

Larger SD cards not recognized

Raised in 1 opinion

How you notice
SDHC cards may not work in older Exilims: Wikipedia's model table lists SDHC only on some models, some of them only after a firmware update. No Casio-specific failure report was found.
Fix
In models from before 2006, use a standard SD card of 2 GB or less, or update the firmware where Casio offered it (EX-S600 version 1.02; EX-Z70 and EX-Z700 version 1.01). This is reasoning from the SD standard, not a Casio instruction.
Typical cost
$14 for a 2 GB SD card at Retro Digitals (November 2, 2026).

Sources: en.wikipedia.org, en.wikipedia.org, retro-digitals.com, support.casio.com

Underexposure warning and dark daylight shots

How you notice
An EX-Z850 owner sees an 'underexposure' message; Imaging Resource found the EX-Z700 and EX-S770 tend to underexpose on bright days.
Fix
Add light, raise ISO or set exposure compensation higher, per an iFixit answer.
Typical cost
None; it is a settings fix.

Sources: ifixit.com, imaging-resource.com, imaging-resource.com

Is there a Casio CCD recall? None was found

How you notice
In October 2005 several makers warned that 2002-2004 cameras with Sony-made CCDs could fail in heat and humidity, showing no picture or strong purple or green casts. Imaging Resource's list names Sony, Canon, Fujifilm, Konica Minolta, Nikon, Ricoh and Olympus, not Casio.
Fix
No Casio advisory or recall program turned up in any source checked. Still, ask for a real test photo from any 2002-2004 Exilim before paying.
Typical cost
None found. Casio's support site still lists a repair page, but no source confirms service for these models.

Questions people ask about the Exilim

Is the Casio Exilim a good camera?

For the digicam look, a working Exilim is a good, cheap pick. Launch-era reviewers praised the build, speed and pocket size: Trusted Reviews called the EX-Z1000 beautifully built and sharper than any compact its reviewer had tried. The weak spot is noise, which What Digital Camera called a traditional weak point for Casio compacts.

When did the Casio Exilim come out, and what type of camera is it?

Casio sold Exilim digital cameras from 2002 to 2018. The line opened in 2002 with card-sized models such as the EX-S1, a 1.3 MP camera about 11.3 mm thick, and the EX-Z3 Zoom model followed in January 2003. Wikipedia groups the line into ultra-slim Card models, the all-purpose Zoom models (all with an optical zoom) and Professional bridge cameras. Casio had made cameras before Exilim: its 1995 QV-10 was the first consumer digital camera with a built-in LCD screen.

Why did Casio stop making cameras?

Casio ended digital camera production, Exilim included, on April 24, 2018, after losing about 500 million yen in the fiscal year that ended in March 2017. Nikkei reported, via HardwareZone, that Casio expected no growth in compact cameras and would focus on high-value camera products. Casio no longer makes cameras, so an Exilim today means buying used.

Why won't my Casio Exilim turn on?

Start with the battery: iFixit lists a drained or bad battery, a battery put in the wrong way, or debris holding the power button down. Charge the pack in its cradle or a charger, reinsert it and try the Play button. If the lens starts to come out and the camera shuts off with a lens error, see the known issues on this page.

How do I transfer photos from a Casio Exilim?

The quickest way is to take out the SD card and use a card reader, which Imaging Resource said gets around the EX-Z1000's slow USB transfer. You can also connect the camera to a computer through its cradle. If you use SDHC cards, pick a reader that supports them: Retro Digitals says an SD-only reader can't read SDHC. Later models like the EX-10 send photos to a phone through Casio's app.

How do I view photos on a Casio Exilim?

Press the Play button. Exilims have separate Play and Record buttons, and iFixit says pressing Play turns the camera on in playback; press Record to go back to shooting.

Does the Casio Exilim have a CCD sensor?

The older ones do. Wikipedia says the EX-F1 from January 2008 was the first Exilim with a CMOS sensor, so the 2002-2007 models should be CCD cameras; spec pages confirm it for the EX-Z55, EX-S500 and EX-Z70, for example. For later models, check the exact model: the sources here don't give the sensor type for most of them, though Dutch Thrift calls the 2011 EX-ZS10 a CCD camera.

Does the Casio Exilim have image stabilization?

It depends on the model. Models such as the EX-S600, EX-Z70 and EX-Z1000 have Anti-Shake DSP, which Trusted Reviews said reduces blur on the EX-Z1000 but not as well as optical or mechanical systems. The 2007 EX-V7 has CCD-shift stabilization, which moves the sensor.

What people compare it with

  • Canon PowerShot SD1000 (Digital ELPH)

    WhatCameraGear calls it the holy grail of Y2K digicams and says a viral TikTok about digicams is probably about this one; shoppers weigh it against Exilims of the same pocket size.

  • Nikon Coolpix S series (S210, S51, S220)

    The slim, flash-heavy rival: WhatCameraGear calls it the budget king, ultra-slim with a harsh flash.

  • Sony Cyber-shot (CCD models)

    Vintage Camera Hut credits sharp lenses and a classic early digital look, but many take Memory Stick cards, where every Exilim uses SD.

  • Fujifilm FinePix

    Vintage Camera Hut calls Fujifilm a good brand if you like warm tones and pleasing straight-out-of-camera images.
