Casio EXILIM CARD EX-S10BK

Advantages: Very compact, large screen
Disadvantages: Few manual controls

...After doing a lot of research online I decided to buy one of these cameras as it has a good feature set and was very good value at the time. I have so far been very impressed with the camera. The size is perfect for keeping in a pocket so it's handy whenever you need it. I have used the camera outside, inside and in low light situations such as nightclubs and gigs. The photo quality has been brilliant in all of these situations. The battery life is very reasonable considering the very compact size of the camera. The included dock is very useful for charging and general storage on a desk although the lack of a standard usb connector on the actual camera could be a disadvantage for some people. A firmware update is available from Casio allowing the use of SDHC cards which could be very useful for people wishing to take pictures but who... Read review

Advantages: Size, Picture Quality, Functions, Battery life
Disadvantages: Memory capacity

...I am very impressed by the Casio Exilim, particularly with regards to the battery life. It is much better than using regular batteries that don't last long at all, and it charges quickly anyway. The quality of the pictures is also excellent, and there are plenty of options to enhance pictures to suit the setting. This camera is so simple to use, I haven't even needed to use the instruction manual. The picture mode can be changed quickly, and basic settings can be adjusted within seconds. Also, there are lots of different features to experiment with. For example, the video function has good sound quality and the ability to zoom in and out. For around £80, this camera is definitely great value for money, and I would recommend it as it is also easy to carry anywhere. However I would recommend buying a memory card to accompany this....

Advantages: lightweight, slim, easy to use, great pictures, impressive zoom, long battery life
Disadvantages: instructions were in Japanese

...looking at it side on you really can't appreciate that its probably 6 credit cards thick if stacked one on top of the other. Yep, its really that thin but the Casio Exilim EX-V7 goes to show that size really does not matter as it is the best thing I've had my hands on for months (my wife has just given birth so no action for a while). The controls are very basic and in a nutshell it can do two things. Take pictures and record video clips. There are about 8-9 diffrent types of photos to take with shadowing and shading all of which produce a stunning amount of detail. The camera is a 7.2 mega-pixel jobby (what that means I have no idea) and has a zoom multiplication of times 7. What I can say is that pictures taken with the Casio Exilim EX-V7 are quite frankly the best, most colour rich and detailed I've seen and I've used, abused and seen... Read review
