A while ago I bought the Casio EXILIM EX-S2 because I wanted a camera which I could literally slip in my pocket and yet have good enough pictures to print or view online. I've got a decent SLR and so I wasn't looking for a very high resolution or optical zoom. Size and convenience where prioritise over quality in my selection process.
Once the camera arrived it was clear that all my expectations had been met. It's absolutely tiny, and I've found myself having to double check to see if I've actually got it in my pocket at times! Despite being so small and lightweight the build quality is excellent, with a solid brushed metal case which I inadvertently tested when I dropped it by accident a few days ago. It fell 4 feet onto concrete and survived with only a minor scratch, I won't be trying that again though.
It is also incredibly easy to use, and the initial set up takes minutes, and you can learn just about everything you need to know from the menu display screen on the camera. Plus the startup time is very quick, taking about a second from switching it on to taking a photo, so it really is 'point and shoot'. There are a number of options on the camera itself and you can choose from 6 'best settings' to adjust the cameras settings in a variety of conditions such as low lighting or outdoor scenery. They also include 'black and white' and 'sepia' options for asthetic preference. These are simple to apply, and can alter the effects significantly.
There is a 4X digital zoom, but like all digital zooms it's not really worth using as, unlike an optical zoom lense, it simply reduces the quality of the picture.
The software provided enables easy and rapid transfer of pictures onto your computer for storing and editing. Even if you plug in the cradle without the software it's still easy to download pictures as the computer recognises the camera as a separate drive, which is handy if you're traveling round and using other people's computers, also meaning there's no need to buy a separate card reader.
As for the picture quality, overall it's very good, considering the size of the camera. I tend to use the highest setting and have been very impressed with the results. The only things to watch are the focal length (there's no macro so you need to be several feet away from your subject) and the slow shutter speed which can mean shots can be blurry in low lighting. It also struggles with bright natural light, and shots of the sky on an average day will often appear mostly white. That said, the normal colours are bright and sharp and as long as you're not after professional pictures, this will more than suffice. My advice is not to try and save on memory by lowering the picture quality, just buy more memory (it's getting cheaper all the time) and keep it on the higher resolution, that way you've always got the quality if you want to print the photo.
The flash is small and won't fill a whole room, but is fine for taking the usual indoor snaps. The camera also has a self timer as well as several flash functions including red eye reduction.
There is a movie mode (without sound) which records AVIs of up to 30 seconds. The number of frames per second, and picture quality is understandably low, but it's a great little feature and I've used it surprisingly often.
The 12MB built in memory is generous for a camera of it's size, and with a decent sized SD card you should be well equipped for going away. I currently use a 256MB SD card (£18 from play.com) which stores around 200 pictures at the highest resolution, which is ample for most occasions. The LCD screen is very bright and clear and allows you to view your photos, edit and delete them, as well as transferring from card to inbuilt memory or vice versa.
The lithium battery recharges very quickly and lasts an impressive amount of time, even with continuous use of the LCD screen (which you can also turn off).
In terms of durability, after nearly two years of constant use and abuse I recently notticed that the aperture shutter occasionally 'sticks' closed after taking a photo. This can be problamatic, but I'd put it down to excessive wear and tear on my part rather than an inherant fault with the camera. Generally the build quality is excellent.
Overall this camera is ideal for slipping in your pocket and forgetting about until you need it. And when you do it's ready instantly to capture those memories. However if you're looking for an all-rounder, and this will be your only camera, then consider investing in a 4 - 5 megapixel camera with optical zoom, such as the Casio EXILIM EX-Z50 or the Canon Ixus 430 (expect to add £100 to the price though). But if you already own a good camera for those occasions when you really need the best quality, and want something economical for everyday use then the EX-S2 is the perfect product.

Advantages: Small, ULTRATHIN, light, slim and stylish, battery lasts very long Disadvantages: Does NOT record sound, very 'fragile'
...Their needs no introduction- the Casio Exilim S2 is the ultimate camera. The EX S2 has got to be the best digital camera ever produced- unless you compare it with cameras of triple the price! I'm not saying that it overcomes the latest technology of all cameras. It is just an amazing camera that suits its price. You will not find a better camera that is cheaper than this one, unless you are looking at a used one. Proffesional photographers...look ... ...proffesionals, as it does not withhold enough pixels to suite their needs. So as i just said- LOOK AWAY. All you ordinary people out their who dont take photography as a proffesion, i would reccommend you get this camera. The camera has many features such as adjustable resolutions and digital zoom. great for taking pictures at holidays or for photos that you can print. it has a VERY quick shutter speed, meaning that you can take quick snaps of moving ...

Advantages: Small, sleek, LCD, chrome finish, 2MP and easy to use. Disadvantages: had it for a year now and still can't find any big problems!!!
It most definitely is a camera worth having. I've had the camera for about a year now i feel that i can truely comment on the success of this wonderful invention..
Well, its size enables you to literally take it everywhere and anywhere!! I think the phrase "never miss capturing a moment" rings to mind as I truely was able to capture some truely spontaneous times with my friends :O)
Some set backs-
the zooms great but a little fuzzy on the edges ... ...the camera is a lot but worth it in the end. Also digital processing is quite cheap nowadays so thats a plus in relation to a 35mm camera. It's nice to see how your pics turn out on the LCD screen instead of hoping that the photograph comes back ok from the developers!!!
I would thoroughly recommend buying an SD card just so that you can store more photos and even video clips.............. talking of video clips may i add that they are truely fantastic, ...

Advantages: Small, lightweight Disadvantages: no zoom
While Casio may be a name associated with bored afternoons spent pushing a compass point into rubber calculator keys during a particularly depressing maths lesson, its range of digital cameras is far less deserving of such schoolboy vandalism.
The Exilims are all astonishingly thin. The EX S2 weighs just under 80g, which means it's lighter than most mobile phones. It's not noticable when you're carrying it around in your pocket, although the silver ... ...a picture.
Whereas some digital cameras take so long to initialise shooting options that you begin to think they've fallen asleep while factorising quadratic equations in their off mode, the EX S2 is exceptionally quick to take pictures.
The menus are clear and easy to navigate, with various profiles that enable you to take black and white photos and long-exposure night shots.

Advantages: Size, picture quality Disadvantages: No TV-OUT socket
...slightly concerned about buying a Casio camera. Somehow, I still think of old fashioned desk calculators when I think of Casio. After reading several reviews and looking at sample pictures on the web I decided to put my snobbery behind me and order the kit.
There are two major points that attracted me to this camera. Firstly the size – this truly is a camera that can be carried around with you without too much hassle. How often have you wished you ... ...the car because you couldn’t be bothered to carry it around? With this camera the problem is gone; it is slim enough to slide in to a pocket without being obtrusive.
Secondly the price - there are some great deals to be had with this camera if you look around the web!
This is a 2 mega pixel camera, that sounds low these days but you really need to ask yourself what you are going to be using these pictures for. I find this resolution enough to print ...

Casio EXILIM EX-S 2 is just perfect. Super thin and stylish, it is also incredibly functional. A high-resolution megapixel CCD provides 2.0 million effective pixels (2.11 million total pixels) for images that print beautifully. Fixed focus eliminates the need for lens movement, which shortens startup time and shooting time. Simply select the sample scene that matches the type of image you are trying to record and the camera performs troublesome setups automatically for beautiful pictures every time. DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) data storage protocol provides image intercompatibility between the digital camera and printers.
