Customer Review: Innovative camera with lots of features but lacks in key areas
Summary: 3 Stars
The new Casio TRYX has so much potential with some really cool features but unfortunately falls short in some key areas.
PROS
This is a SUPER thin camera (.59 inches thick) that looks sleek and modern. And, because of the way the frame rotates, taking pictures from any angle is simple and easy. You can position the camera anywhere, whether it be hanging from a wall, on a table, or anywhere else you can think of. You can also use the body as a tripod and rotate it take perfect self portraits while actually seeing yourself in the LCD frame. It comes with a self-timer that can be activated with the touch screen LCD; one great feature of the self timer is that it can also be triggered with a built-in motion sensor. You can use your finger to designate an area in the frame of the LCD where it will monitor for motion. When motion is detected in that area the self timer is triggered, letting you take pictures of yourself or with a group of friends with ease.
This camera has 12.1 megapixels, and the images it captures are stunning! There are dual core processors built in, so processing speed is insanely fast. And there are a multitude of features which allow for almost unlimited creative endeavors. For example, Slide Panorama lets you take 360 degree pictures easily. And the HDR-ART technology allows you to transform any photo with the press of a button. This allows you to combine continuous shots with different exposures and lighting to change the contrast and color saturation. The result are some incredible images which really pop off the screen.
Another great feature is you can take full HD 1080 video at 30 frames per second. You can rotate the body to make it feel like a traditional camcorder and use either a left or right handed grip. Plus, you can record in slow motion, which is something I've really enjoyed doing.
The TRYX comes pre-loaded with software that makes uploading pictures and video to facebook, YouTube, and other internet sites easily. You can preselect which images you want to upload in advance, and it automatically sends the files to each location upon connection to a computer.
Figuring out how to operate gadgets like this is not an easy thing for me. I am what many consider to be technologically impaired. But the touch screens are so intuitive and simple to use that even I was able to easily figure it out and was up and running in no time.
CONS
There are a few major downfalls with the camera that are potential deal breakers. The lens is a fixed focal length, which means the zoom is digital only. As far as I can tell, it's a higher then average quality digital zoom that seems to maintain image quality up to 2x the original size. That being said, I really wish they would have included optical zoom as this allows you to get much closer to your subject with better quality pictures. Being able to zoom close into your subjects is something that I really miss.
Also, there is no flash! Taking pictures in dim lighting or at night is, quite simply, not an option.
Finally, the video camera only records in mono, so having stereo or surround sound is not an option.
Overall, the TRYX is a nice camera with some cool features, but lacks in some key areas which may make you want to consider another option.
