Advantages: Very small and light! Disadvantages: none
...the best looking camera. This Casio - Exilim Card EX-S500 digital camera (white) just came out of the camera market since Sep 2005. So I've set my eye on this camera but it's so expensive and it's about £300 if I buy it in the UK. Since we were going to Germany for holiday in Dec 2005, I decided to wait until then to find out if they will sell it any cheaper there. And I also really wanted the white colour!! It looks more stylish and special than ... ...EUR299 (£202) for this white Casio - Exilim Card S500 digital camera!! Yeah saved myself about £100!! ~~~ What's inside the box? ~~~
Camera, charging cradle (the standing type charger), AC adaptor, rechargeable Lithium ion battery, pc lead (with USB), AV out lead, instruction booklet and camera strap (to strap around your wrist).
It would have been nice if they include the protective camera case, protective screen sticker (just incase you scratch ...

Advantages: Robust, easy to use, looks great, large high quality screen, Best Shot scenarios Disadvantages: Could come with SD card / protective case
Another one of my toys, I bought this while I was abroad on holiday two years ago. I paid extra for a set of add-ons (1/2GB sd card, mini tripod, case, spare battery), which I won't discuss in this review (since you would have to get these separately).
The camera itself fits nicely in the palm of your hand, and is a beauty to work with. It's a 5 megapixel camera, of which there is now a 10 megapixel version available. it charges via a dock charger, ... ...Things I like about it:
- The camera is small enough to carry around in a pocket
- The screen is fairly large, and shows pictures decently
- The camera takes pictures almost immediately in it's default mode, I've also had a camera which takes a second to take a picture (which is annoying)
- I can walk and take pictures without stopping - and the picture is generally decent! This might be because of the anti-shake function it has
- It has 3x ...

Advantages: Long battery life, Tiny design, Large viewing screen Disadvantages: Hard to handle
I purchased my Casio duty free at the airport in Oct 05 for a reasonable price, I had asked which camera offered a combination of both useable features and a high quality image for an affordable price, this was the camera the sales person suggested.
The camera itself is tiny, easily fitting into the palm of a hand. It boasts a 5 MP image capture which in my experience is more than enough for a general camera user and easy to use features. It comes ... ...as well as a wrist strap which comes in very handy.
The camera uses an SD memory card which can be purchased cheaply as there is only an internal memory of about 16MB, the memory card also makes it easy for printing pictures staight for the card as it is widely recognised in photo printing machines and card reader printers.
There are a number of picture types that can be selected by using the Best Shot feature such as Sepia, B&W, Landscape, Pets, ...

Advantages: Recording, best shot button, and zoom. Disadvantages: Slight delay on taking picture once button is pressed
I have owned this camera for over a year now. I was very impressed with the size and all of the things this little camera can do. The best shot button is what sold me. I have used this best shot button for certain events but I really didn't see any different. I love the zoom action and the recording on it. I was shocked I could record up to at least an hour of shooting time with sound! One major down fall I have with this camera. Delay time when ... ...I'm expecting the camera to take the picture right away but there is a 2 second delay and if the picture moves, you miss that perfect shot. I do enjoy how light weight it is. I just wish they will work on one thing. When I press that button, I expect it to react right then. ...

Advantages: small, light, colour choice, excellent video mode. Disadvantages: lack of manual control, some noise at high ISO
My main objective in purchasing this camera was to have a light and compact camera, which could be taken everywhere with me, I looked at many reviews at other cameras before settling on this one and i have been very pleased with my decision.
The picture quality, in the main, is very good but as with many compact cameras images taken at high ISO settings can be a bit noisy but still very good. Also despite an apparent maximum ISO setting of 1600 ... ...in manual mode a maximum of 400 can be set, but then with a camera like this, one does not necessarily expect such versatility as you may find in a more expensive compact or a DSLR. There are many preset options to choose from which will cater for most users without having to delve into the manual settings too much.
The video mode certainly stands out, and with a 1GB SD card I can take nearly half an hour's worth of TV quality video. ...
