The Casio Exilim Pro EX-P505 is an interesting camera in its ability to take 5 megapixel pictures and film 640x480 MPEG4 video at 30 FPS. It is one of the smallest cameras with a 5X optical zoom. The smallest 5X optical zoom camera at this time is the Pentax Optio SVi which does not have the video capabilities and advanced features of the P505. Unfortunately, the image part of the Casio P505 is significantly below average. The most significant problems are: color casts, high noise and optical distortion.
