Exilim EX-V7 slimmest for the moment

Everything is slimming down, from women (just check out the amount of weight loss pills available on the market these days) to cellphones and now, digital cameras. The Casio Exilim EX-V7 claims to be the world’s slimmest camera with an astounding 7x optical zoom. Features include a 7 megpaixel sensor, VGA recording for your amateur home movies in H.264 format, and a bright 2.5″ LCD display. The body measures just 2.5cm in thickness, making it a welcome companion to any pocket once you part with $399 for it. Serious shutterbugs will still settle for hefty DSLRs instead of such a casual point-and-shoot camera.
