The new Casio Pro features 4x Optical Zoom and 7.2MP CCD chip. The EX-P700 is the follow-up model to the Casio EX-P600. It features a 2 inch LCD screen. Casio enhanced the software ont eh new cameras they announced this week. One new feature is the Business shot. It provides automatic alignment correction for photos taken at an angle, altering shots as though they were taken from a straight-on front position.
