The Casio Exilim EX-Z850 has been reviewed at dpreview.

The Casio Exilim EX-Z850 is an ultra compact digital camera that offers an impressive set of features enclosed in a high quality all metal camera body. The EX-Z850 offers 8.1 megapixel resolution, a 3 times optical zoom and a large 2.5 inch display. The Casio EX-Z850 is also capable of recording high quality MPEG 4 movies with a resolution of 640×480 and up to 30 frames per second. Despite its small size, the EX-Z850 supports both automatic and manual shooting modes, as well as a large number of preset scene modes.

The results of the review:
“[…] The EX-Z850 has more to recommend it than many sub-compact models - not least for the huge feature set (which will give you months of fun), and the comprehensive photographic control. It’s beautifully made, fast, has a stunning screen and is really enjoyable in use. It’s frustrating that Casio has come so near - and yet remained so far - from creating the perfect ’serious’ sub-compact in both this model and its predecessor, but the fact remains that - in experienced hands - it still comes closer than any of its competitors. We can’t give it a Highly Recommended for all the reasons mentioned above, but I have no qualms about recommending it to anyone wanting something that offers a lot more than just ‘point and shoot’ functionality in an attractive, and truly pocketable package.”
