As you'd expect, summers brings us a glut of new digital cameras, as people’s thoughts turn to hot days and sunshine (in other words, their holiday abroad).

Joining the likes of Acer and Kodak, is Casio and its slim Exilim Zoom EX-Z70, aimed at beginners and those that just want point and shoot capabilities. 

Higher megapixels in compact digital zooms are becoming the norm, and this Exilim is no exception, boasting 7.2. Casio also claims this has a long battery life, taking around 200 images on a single charge.

It looks a pretty standard camera, comes in two colours – black and silver, costs £230 and will be available from early July.
