Casio Exilim EX-S100 review

Casio claims that it's the world's smallest digital camera with optical zoom and we're inclined to agree with them. Made of stainless steel, the credit card-sized EX-S100 is just two-thirds of an inch thick, has a 2-inch LCD screen and a 2.8x optical...

Casio Exilim EX-S100 review

Casio Exilim EX-S100

Quick performance; ultracompact metal body; plenty of scene modes; easy operation.

Average image quality; no optical viewfinder; no burst mode.

It's ultracompact and equipped with highly versatile scene modes, but the Casio Exilim EX-S100's average image quality and limited LCD are significant flaws.

Casio EX-S100 Digital Camera Camera

If Casio's $350 Exilim EX-S100 were better at its primary function--taking great digital photos--we'd be huge fans. It's extremely compact, beautifully designed, and easy to use. But in our formal image-quality tests, it earned an overall score that...

Nice extras not typically seen on a camera of this size include a functional manual-focus capability and white-balance calibration. This camera comes with a cradle, which you must use for charging its small lithium ion battery or for transferring...

Casio Exilim EX-S100

The Casio Exilim EX-S100 is perhaps the most elegant camera in our roundup.

Small, sleek, and stylish; clear menu system with large type; lots of scene modes, with excellent text descriptions. Pan-focus mode lets you bypass autofocus for quicker shots; real-time histogram helps you make sure you get the best exposure. Fast...

Fuzzy photos, with unappealing color. Pricey for a 3.2MP camera and for the photo quality. No optical viewfinder.

Casio EX-S100

The Casio Exilim EX-S100 was developed to be the flagship of the Exilim "S" series, and as such, embodies all the brand concepts. Key features of the EX-S100 include a 3.2-megapixel CCD image sensor, use of the world's first transparent ceramic lens in...

Bottom line - You couldn't ask for a more "pocketable" and durable digicam. It's stylish and built like a tank, so don't hesitate to take this silver beauty anywhere that you go short of getting it wet. And when you walk in a room and pull this bad boy ou

Casio Exilim Card EX-S100 Review

The recommended retail price of the Casio Exilim Card EX-S100 in the UK is £299.99 and in the US it is $399.99

The Casio Exilim Card EX-S100 is as about as ultra-compact as digital cameras get at the moment - if you want the ultimate in small digicams, then the EX-S100 is it. Squeezing a 2.8x optical zoom lens into such a slim camera is an amazing...

Casio EX-S100 Digital Camera Review

"Casio has raised the bar with its new and very stylish EX-S100. The stainless steel body with hints of chrome is the best looking 3.2 mega pixel camera I have reviewed to date. It is beautifully designed, with every built in feature well thought out...

Image quality on all ISO settings produced great results in daylight, where the 200 and 400 ISO settings are the only real options for indoor photography. The 400 ISO has minimal grain, which would produce more than acceptable photo print images and be...

Casio Exilim EX-S100 digital camera

The Casio Exilim EX-S100 is a tiny digital camera that fits nicely in your shirt pocket. Casio engineers have managed to squeeze in a special lens with 2.8 times optical zoom in this miniature product, along with a 3.2 megapixel image sensor.

Value for money: Casio Exilim EX-S100 is good value for money when you need a camera that you are going to carry with you at all times.

Digital Camera

I knew it would happen someday, but not today: I finally found a camera that is too small for me to comfortably use. I have medium-large hands, and 35 years of guitar playing has made my fingers quite nimble. This little Casio, however, always felt as...

There are several lovely ultracompacts on the market these days from Canon and Sony, but I think Casio does it best
