The Casio EXILIM Zoom EX-Z1080 is closely related to the EX-Z1050 model that was announced back in January. Body, sensor (10.1 megapixel CCD), lens (3x 38-114mm equivalent optical zoom), LCD (2.6-inch) and all the rest of the hardware look to be identical.

EX-Z1080 changes are to be found in silicon - the video resolution now tops out at 848x480 pixels instead of VGA, ISO sensitivity has been bumped to a maximum of 3200 instead of 1600, and the addition of both Casio's YouTube video mode and face detection technology. All these changes to the camera result in 5MB less built-in memory available for photos - 11.4MB being free in the Casio Z1080.

The Casio EXILIM Zoom EX-Z1080 ships September 2007, priced at about US$280.
