New Casio EX-ZR15 P&S camera with 7X zoom, 16mp 1/2.3" CMOS

This is the equivalent of Election Night where everyone is waiting to hear big results and instead you get results from a town of 15 people ;-) With that as a semi-unrelated preface, we have a new camera alert! Casio has quietly revealed a new 7X (roughly 28-200mm eq) P&S camera, the EX-ZR15 (not to be confused with the existing EX-ZS15). Try guessing the specs before looking, 90% of you will probably guess it right :)

This increases the number of new cameras in 2011 to 189 (from the major manufacturers), although I'm sure there are a few more that are flying under the radar. The Fuji XS1 is not added yet since there's no product announcement yet.
