Casio extended its line of point-and-shoot cameras today, topped by this Exilim Zoom EX-Z1050. Building on its Z1000 predecessor's 10.1-megapixel imager and 3x optical zoom, this nice-looking tinycam slims down its form factor to an even smaller size. Dang, the thing's svelte for a camera—it's getting into cellphone-thin territory at just 24.2mm with a light aluminum body that weighs just 4.5 oz. Even so, it still has that nice big 2.6-inch viewscreen out back.
Beyond its waif-thin form factor, its most notable feature is its ability to shoot seven frames per second until you fill up the memory card, a power spec that's unusual for a point-and-shoot. Look for it in the regulation black and silver and then pink and purplish-blue for the whimsical. Take a look at those cool colors after the jump, which we're actually starting to like.
Heck, it's a point-and-shoot. Save the serious black and silver for that DSLR you've got your eye on. Anyway, It'll run around $451.

The US MSRP is actually $299.
7 fps and 10+ megapixel???? Less than $300???? Smmmokin'!!!!
Pant, pant... where can I get one NOW???
Yeah, 7fps. They just don't tell you that in order to achieve that speed you have to lower the photo resolution clear down to 2mp and reduce the quality from High to Normal, as well.
Who's going to take 2mp photos at Normal quality?
I wish manufacturers would quit lying and exaggerating to make their products seem better than what they are.
We can see through that.
