The Casio Exilim EX-Z350 is a mid-range digital compact that Casio introduced in 2009, sitting above the brand's budget Z-series models and offering a longer zoom and higher resolution for buyers wanting more reach without stepping up to a bridge camera.
It uses a 1/2.3-inch CCD sensor with an effective resolution of 14.1 megapixels, paired with a 4x optical zoom lens. The camera has a 2.6-inch rear LCD, records video, and stores files on SD/SDHC memory cards, drawing power from a proprietary rechargeable battery pack.
The longer 4x zoom range gives the EX-Z350 more reach than the shorter 3x lenses on Casio's entry Z-series siblings, useful for travel and casual portrait framing, though the small sensor still limits noise performance in dim conditions typical of compacts from this generation.
Used examples are typically inexpensive and function well as simple travel companions; buyers should verify the zoom lens moves freely without grinding, check the battery for age-related capacity loss, and test all buttons since these compacts saw heavy casual use.
