Digital camera reviews of Casio Exilim EX-S10BK 10MP 3x Zoom 2.7-Inch LCD Screen Digital Camera (Black)
Digital camera Review: This is the one to buy, and the place to buy it.
Summary: 5 Stars
I looked far and wide at all point and shoots, then all Casio Exilims, then all colors, then all sellers, and then landed here.
The Exilim packs a lot of features into a tiny package. The Exilim S10 is the Exilimmest (slimmest) of all point and shoot cameras. The black model is not simply a color option, it has a different and more classic feel. The plain metal was a definite and acceptable second option (for me). Amazon had the best price and, as always, the safest option.
When the teen and early twenty crowd says "Casio" they mean this one (the S10).

Digital camera Review: Two steps forward, but two steps back
Summary: 3 Stars
This camera is a bit of a missed opportunity. I've owned two previous Casio Exilim Card-series cameras in this same line. With each iteration, the camera gets better, and this one is no exception with respect to size, which is a big deal. The whole point of this camera is how small and therefore useable it is--you can take it to parties etc. It's smaller and more detailed than ever, and that's two steps forward.
However, Casio has inexplicably changed two things for the worst with this latest one. For one thing, it took away the cradle charger/downloader. No idea why they'd do that. It was a very convenient and stylish way to store the camera, and you could keep the battery in. Now you have to take it out and put it in the travel charger which is hanging on a wall plug--inconvenient and unsightly. Worse, you have to reset the time etc. on the camera every time now. For those of us who care about time and dates, this is a real pain.
The other step back, a worse one, is that once you choose a Best Shot mode and shut off the camera, you lose that default and it goes back to full auto. WHY?? The whole point of a tiny camera like this for many of us who keep coming back to this line is that we can fit it in our pocket and take it to parties at night. There, you need the Party or Nighttime scene mode. But every time you now shut off the camera and turn it back on, you have to go back to the scenes and find the mode again! WHY? Totally kills the moments, and it's a big step back. At least add an easy software option for those of us that want the camera to stay in a certain mode until we change it, like Sony has. This is a disappointing change in this line.
Digital camera Review: Very Pleased! Simple and extremely SMALL camera!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just bought the worlds thinnest camera* (* as of jan 8th!) and am really pleased. I use a camera just to put in my pocket and take pictures of people and things I see that I like, so this camera is perfect. Its very, very slim and small. My choice was between a leica and this - but I think if your going to get a leica, you should go SLR - if its just a simple camera to carry round, this is ideal.
I was not sure about casio as a brand but when I took some pictures I was impressed.
The pictures I've taken so far came out really nice, clear, bright and good quality when I transferred to my computer. The LCD is huge for the size of the camera.
Drawbacks I would say are that you cannot fool around with this camera - if does not feel THAT sturdy but its fine for normal use. note to self: do not take out when consuming more than 4 units of alcohol! :) Also, low lighting pictures dont look fantastic on the LCD (a little grainy, but when on a p.c they look fine!)
Set up was very easy and very simple to get used to! Highly recommend!
Digital camera Review: Worst products ever!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I won't ever purchase another Casio product and neither should you. My daughter spent all her babysitting money to purchase a Casio camera. It broke within 6 months of purchase. Would not take photos unless they were so blurry you couldn't tell what it was and the clip broke off of the battery compartment. We sent it back to Casio for repair...they mailed it back to us lose in a box and it broke again within 6 mths but this time it was 1 mth out of warranty and they will not repair unless we send them $130!! What a joke of a company. I will NEVER purchase another Casio porduct!!!Digital camera Review: Worth every penny. makes me like a pro!

I love my little black camera. ipod sized, simple controls. perfect for someone who likes things to go smoothly. I love that my photos look professional, and the colors are vivd. the continuous photo ability is great for taking lots of shots in an action setting. I love that I can edit photos from the camera and not have to rely heavily on photoshop, just trim and change the light setting whenever I get a chance, not in the middle of the action! the battery lasts a while too. nice for such a slim camera. the black is flat too so it is not too sissy.
