Casio EXILIM EX-S10

I have had the same digital camera for three years. I liked it, I didn't love it, but hey it worked and did the job right? Well this camera (I wont say names) died on me back in April of this year, and finally in September MIL let me borrow her nice Sony camera. I loved it, always have and always will.

But last month I was given the opportunity to try out the awesome Casio EXILIM EX-S10.The world’s smallest and thinnest 10.1 Megapixel camera* fits perfectly into accessible pockets for spontaneous snapshots and personal YouTube™-friendly videos. The wide 2.7 inch Super Clear LCD screen delivers amazingly high contrast and brightness. This camera has been amazing. Not only does it take wonderful images, but it is very slim and light wait. It fits perfectly in my purse, and takes pictures as soon as you hit the "snap" button. There is no delay or lag, and the images are crystal clear. I am still playing around with the settings, but I have had so much fun using it.


Thin form with a refined design
The camera’s stylish body, measuring 94.2 mm wide, 54.6 mm high and 15.0 mm thin (13.8 mm at the thinnest part) is the product of Casio’s relentless pursuit of thinness. It is finished according to two design requirements — a high quality feel created by the stainless steel body, and a unique beauty derived from its coloring. The camera comes in four colors — red, blue, silver and black.

10.1 million effective pixels, and a 3x optical zoom lens
Users can record images not just at the instant they press the shutter button, but before! This new camera’s thinner, smaller body was made possible without sacrificing high resolution image quality using a newly developed 1/2.3 inch CCD. Its high resolution images can be used to create beautiful prints even when enlarged or when the image is cropped.

2.7-inch wide and bright LCD offers high contrast
The camera incorporates Casio’s newly developed Super Clear LCD. This produces extremely sharp and vivid images, thanks to its high contrast ratio and its 230,160 dot high resolution. The display can be viewed easily from above, below, left or right thanks to its wide viewing angle, and it is extremely bright, making it easy to see even in daylight.

Auto Shutter function automatically records the moment of a smile or the instant when hand shake ceases
Using motion blur detection technology, the camera can automatically take a photo at the instant when hand shake or subject movement ceases. Users can also automatically capture the moment of a smile, the instant when subject movement due to panning ceases, or the moment when their own face fills the frame as they point the camera towards themselves.

H.264 video, which can be enjoyed in wide format
These cameras utilize the H.264 video standard, which lets users record beautiful movies with the latest high compression technology. Users can enjoy wide format movies in a 16:9 aspect ratio. These cameras also feature a Movie Button for easy movie recording.

You can purchase this amazing camera at stores like Circuit City, Radio Shack or find a whole list of retailers online and in store here.

The retail value of this camera is around $200 dollars.
