For a long time, if you wanted a “big zoom” camera, you had to buy a bulky ultra zoom model. Things have started to change though, with ultra-compact, high zoom cameras from Canon, Casio, Pentax, and Sharp now available.

What’s in the Box?

The Exilim EX-V8 has an average bundle. Inside the box you’ll find:

* The 8.1 effective Megapixel Exilim EX-V8 digital camera
* NP-50 lithium-ion rechargeable battery
* AC adapter
* Camera dock
* Wrist strap
* USB cable
* A/V cable
* CD-ROM featuring Casio Photo Loader with Hot Album, Photo Transport, and YouTube Uploader
