The EXILIM PRO EX-P505 is a palm-sized, high-performance digital camera with amazing still image and video capability. The EX-P505 features a 5X optical zoom, a 5.0 megapixel CCD imager, Casio’s “EXILIM engine”, and a large 2-inch TFT color rotating screen that makes angle shots a snap. It offers the same manual operation found on the EX-P600 and EX-P700, as well as high-quality video snapping capability at 30 frames per second, in VGA thanks to the incorporation of MPEG-4 technology.

Trusted Reviews today posted their review of the P505. Here’s a short quote from their site-

“A little on the expensive side for a 5MP camera, but the impressive stills performance, easily accessible creative features and some outstanding and unique movie modes – including stereo sound - make the Exilim EX-P505 a unique and appealing model for the more advanced user. It manages to fit in more features than most cameras twice its size.”
