Casio's 2006 slim Exilim Zoom — 6MP 1/2.5in CCD, 38-114mm equiv 3x zoom, 2.5in LCD, Best Shot modes, li-ion power.
The Casio Exilim EX-Z60 was a slim card-style compact announced in February 2006, part of the popular Exilim Zoom series that made Casio a major name in fashionable pocket cameras. It sat alongside the EX-Z70 and EX-Z75 in the 6-7 megapixel tier of the range, wearing the brushed-metal, sub-2cm-thick body that defined the line.
A 6.37-megapixel 1/2.5-inch CCD delivers 6.0 effective megapixels through a 3x optical zoom equivalent to 38-114mm. The 2.5-inch, 115,200-pixel LCD fills the rear in place of an optical finder, and Casio's 33 Best Shot scene modes plus Anti Shake DSP processing handle most situations automatically. Power comes from a proprietary rechargeable lithium-ion battery rated at roughly 180 shots, with storage to SD cards, and the body weighs 118g unloaded.
This is a classic mid-2000s pocket digicam: instant to carry, simple to use, and increasingly sought for the punchy colour of its small CCD sensor. It suits casual everyday and travel snapshots and buyers chasing the Y2K-era digicam aesthetic. Limits are equally period-typical — the 38mm wide end is tight indoors, anti-shake is processing rather than true stabilisation, and high-ISO frames get rough quickly.
The proprietary lithium-ion battery is the main used-market concern: originals are old, so check capacity and whether a compatible charger comes with the camera, since third-party cells vary. Verify the lens extends and retracts without hesitation, a common fault on slim Exilims after pocket grit, that the LCD is unmarked, and that it writes to SD; early firmware favours standard SD cards, so test with the card you plan to use.
