Summary: You'll wonder how you ever lived without this!
Review: After extensive research, in October 2002 I found that the Casio Exilim EX-S2 is a wonderful camera. The things that I love about it is that I keep it in an old billfold so I can have it with me all the time. It powers up in about 1 second, and you are ready to take up to about 17 pictures on 1600x1200 resolution without interpolation. If you want to take more, the camera has an expandible memory card slot. The battery lasts for several uses, even with flash on. The zoom feature is not really worth mentioning, and the flash works best in the 3-10 foot range. The cradle is 1x USB. WindowsXP automatically knows when you hook up the camera, and downloads your pictures within seconds. Leave the camera on the cradle to charge. Its that easy!! The absolute best feature of this camera is the viewscreen. Moments after you take your picture, you can view it, and even zoom in to make sure you got the image you wanted. How anyone could use traditional film is beyond me!

Summary: Its small.. but thats about it
Review: Don't get me wrong, its a decent camara but no more then that. Think about why you are buying a camara before you pay [$$] for this one. I would think the most important thing would be picture quality, with this camara you really don't get that. The pictures are not very good when compaired to other camaras in its price range. Also think about how since the lens is fixed you cannot take a closeup picture of anything. It says in the owners manual that you the closest you can get is 1M. Think if it as you can't take a picture of text and read it as it will be too blury. The flash is also very weak as other people are saying. Don't get sucked in because of the "cool" factor of the camaras small size. I had one for a month then bought a Canon S200 to replace it. It's slightly more then double the size but there is no comparison in picture quality.

Summary: By far the best point and shoot i ever owned!
Review: I absolutely LOVE this camera. I would label myself as an "advanced" photographer, having done studio work, shows, and used various formats, but i never forget my roots in why i began liking photography- SNAPSHOTS!!! Nothing is better than coming back from that fun night of dancing and having hiliarious shots of you and your friends busting a move. Or remembering that you have a camera in your pocket when you run into an old friend or some other unique situation. This camera is so tiny, you can shove it in your pocket even when wearing tight clothes, and it's barely noticable. It's also extremely durable. Being the klutz that i am, i have dropped this camera a billion times and even spilled POP on it, and it still works perfectly. Also, i have never even purchased a memory card for it. The ten megs of internal memory is good enough if you are just takign shots for the web/online photo albums. I set my resolution lower and i can usually get about 60-80 pics out of the 10 megs. I have even tried printing some of those pictures, and they actually came out pretty decent.

I wouldn't recommend this camera to someone who is taking precious shots of their baby and they want to print them and put into an album, but i would recommend it to anyone who wants fun snapshots on the go, has always been bogged down by the inconvenience of NOT having a pocket-size camera, and views most of their photos online. This thing is fun, hip, and extremely convenient for the spontaneous snap-shotter.

Summary: Small, cool, OK picture quality
Review: I admit, I bought the thing because of the cool factor. And yes, you will get people gawking at this gadget in public. And I guess I knew going in that it was just for fun pictures, nothing serious.

Given that, it performs well. But yes, the shutter slows way down in low light causing more blurry pictures than I'd like. And the flash is only good for a few feet (up to 6ft according to the specs). But if you can learn to live with its shortcomings, it's a fun little gadget.

It has many very useful functions like white balance and exposure compensation, all within its very intuitive menu system. And you can customize the joystick to control a given feature during recording (flash mode, exposure, white balance).

I thought the tiny joystick would be a problem with my big thumb, but it's not a problem once you get used to it.

Digital zoom is fairly useless with a 2 megapixel camera; just blows things up and makes them blurry.

The built-in memory won't hold very much, so you pretty much need an extra memory card.

All in all, a fun toy that would be a lot more fun at $200. But if you must have it (and I did), go out and get one!

Summary: Where's the EXTRA battery???
Review: I am having fun with my new camera. Bought it after I saw a friend's. However, trying to find an extra NP-20 battery is impossible. Does anyone know from where or from whom I might find an EXTRA rechargeable lithium NP-20 battery???? Sure don't want to miss pictures after being out with the camera all day because of a dead battery!

Summary: Well thought out design
Review: I bought this camera around Christmas time and I have absolutely loved it. I needed a point and shoot digital that I wouldn't have to think about adjusting, and this camera is perfect. It has the little signs of being designed well: really fast start up time, very quick shutter response, it retains settings on shutdown (my first camera chraged the flash all the time and ate batteries like there was no tomorrow), and the list goes on. It has the feel of a well thought-out product, the way something like an ipod does. I highly recommend it!

Summary: This camera is weak on resolution.
Review: I bought this camera because of the high rating the other reviewers gave it. But when I actually took pictures and enlarged them the detail quickly disappeared. My Olympus D-450 Zoom with 1.3 megapixels takes much sharper pictures. You can't beat the Casio for size and convenience at a party or family event but for greater detail go for the Canon powershot S200 digital elph. The price is the same but it is twice as thick. A small concession for quality pictures.

Summary: Cool tiny Camera
Review: I bought this camera few month ago, because I love to travel and it would not take any space.
It has a lot of nice features and they are easy to set. I bought a 256 memory card and in fine resolution can hold around 300+ pictures.
But remember, this it not a proffesional camera, it is a cool gadget. The only drawback is the picture quality that it is not as good as other cameras with same amount of megapixels.Dont get me wrong it takes good pictures.
I will recomended to any of you.
