Product Description

At its thinnest, the Casio EXS500 Digital-camera is about a 1/2-inch thin. That makes it one of the smallest cameras available and at about 6 ounces (with battery and optional SD memory card installed) among the lightest. This means that this is a camera that goes where you go, without stress or strain. With fully automatic exposure and auto focus modes, getting great pictures and movies is simply point-&-shoot. Super life battery allows up to 200 pictures per charge, based on CIPA standards. You can shoot up to 1 hour of movies when you add an optional 1GB SD memory card. The 8MB internal memory makes this camera ready to take a picture or two straight out of the box but wisdom dictates that you purchase an optional SD digital-media card when getting this camera and we suggest getting at least a 256MB card if you're shooting stills or a 512MB minimum card if you plan to include movie images. The camera has a built-in, multimode electronic-flash for taking pictures in dark areas.

Easily broken zoom lens

In my experience, this camera takes great pictures, but the zoom lens is so delicate that it breaks easily.It stops extending and just makes a clicking noise.This happened to me when the camera accidentally turned on while in my pants pocket rendering the camera unusable.My brother and two of my friends experienced a similar problem with their EX-S500 after they accidentally dropped the camera while the lens was extended.I would recommend looking into another camera that is not so delicate....

Compact but powerful

I own a Nikon Coolpix 3100 camera and have no complaints with it, except for the fact that its size (even though it's fairly small) is a pain to carry around when you want to take pictures. Looking for a much thinner camera, I came across this one and was quite pleasantly surprised at its size, and its ability to take really great shots! I'm merely a birthday - holiday type picture taker, but this camera will definitely enable me to take more pictures, because I'll be carrying it around in my pockety...

Best Bang for the Buck

I have many traditional film SLRs including the original Pentax K1000 (fully manual), Canon Rebel XOS and a Canon Elph. When considering digital SLR cameras the Canon Digital Rebel andthe point-and-shoot Canon Digital Elph were at the top of my list. But at $150 less than the Canon Digital Elph, the Casio ExilimEX-S series is a better buy with the the same features (and in some cases a better execution of the same features). If you're looking for a fun point-and-click camera that will record audio...

great camera

This really is a great camera (for it's purpose!) This isn't a camera to get if you want super-fine shots or are some kind of amateur photographer.If you want a camera to preserve memories, snap shots during travel, parties, etc, this is the one to get.Here are a few of my favorite things about the camera:Solid construction.The thing just reeks of quality.Very fast startup time - not only is it easy to fit in a pocket so you can grab it while other idiots are unzipping their camera bags, but it...
