Advantages: Reliable, sturdy, stylish, very slimline camera, good range of colours Disadvantages: Are higher quality camera around for the same price, you might lose it!
Casio S600
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The first time I saw a Casio S600 I was amazed at its size. A tiny, slim little thing which still had a zoom, good quality picture taking and even the ability to record videos, all in a tiny, modern and very cool little package! Now I'm not usually one too get excited over things such as digital cameras - Gucci bags, yes, shoes, possibly, but a camera? Usually a disposable will do me, but once I saw this one I couldn't ... ...is a wide range of Casio S600s around, in a variety of lovely colours, memory sizes and in packages including cases, extra memory and so on. I selected a sleek silver little number which I love. The camera is also available in a reddish-orange colour which is gorgeous as well, and blue.
Casio have recently updated this camera to a 7 mega-pixel version, as far as I'm aware the main difference is it being 1 mega-pixel better in photo quality than ...

Advantages: Big screen, great battery length, fast transfer, excellent photo quality and build Disadvantages: No optical view-finder. Specific type battery.
...fantastic.
I took my Casio EX-S600 away on holiday with me. Because of it's perfect size it was in my pocket for the entire duration of the holiday. It was at hand at the most convenient moments and because of that I managed to capture some of the best on-the-fly images.
The menus are so easy to use and a manual isn't really necessary. Even upgrading the firmware, which is normally a scary process due to the ability of wiping the internal software ... ...go into the menus, and Casio have done a good job by giving the ability to program buttons to do this.
The large screen on the back is perfect for lining up shots. I do think however that not having an optical view-finder, not to mention not having the ability to switch off this screen to save battery, is one of this cameras not-so-good points. Also, the camera takes a specific type of rechargeable battery, which means if you are out and not near ...

Advantages: Ultra-Slim Design, 6 Mega-Pixel Camera, Great Spec. Disadvantages: No Viewfinder
One thing is assured...this camera has serious wow factor!! Compare it with pretty much the entire digital camera population and its thinner, more stylish and of a better specification for the price. This camera, of which I have one, contantly astounds my chunky-camera owning friends.
As any reader of this article is no doubt aware, there are a vast number of cameras available on the market nowadays. So what, exactly, made me choose this one?
I ... ...Basically put, the more mega-pixels, the better quality the photo ends up becoming!! And, considering I was out to buy a great camera, nothing less that 5 Mega-pixels would suffice.
My second criteria was size. This camera is very much a companion. It's what I'd call a social snappers camera. Its so thin, it'll easily fit into your jeans when you go clubbing or to a party, being only slightly larger than a credit card and about double the thickness ...

Advantages: Small, Pocket sized, Fast, Quality for a compact Disadvantages: Possibly lack of manual settings
I bought the camera in summer 2006 on the recommendation of a shop assistant, and I have been very pleased with the purchase.
Compact, stylish yet retaining quality in picture taking, the S600 has to be up there with the best compact cameras around. For those who want a camera to easily take to parties, this does the trick. Being a university student I am constantly taking pictures of nights out, and it is very easy to simply slip the camera into ... ...you think that, because it is compact, this camera is only for party usage, I also took this camera with me to the Lake District in September, and up the 10 highest mountains in England without any kind of problems, and got some incredible photos out of it along the way. The BESTSHOT features also come in useful, both for novelty value, because everyone likes some fun features to play about with, turning your friends sepia and all that, but also ...

Advantages: Good Picture Quality, Takes Video Disadvantages: Looses charge easily
I have owned this camera since recieving it as a gift 2 years ago and have loved it since!
The camera itself is easy on the eyes, its a nice chrome silver and size wise, it fits perfectly in any small pocket / case.
The most important thing, picture quiality, does not disappoint either. It has a 3x optical zoom which is plenty to provide high quality pictures. It needs to additional software to load pictures onto computer. Just plug in the cable ... ...The charger is again very simple and acts a docking station also for the camera. The battery life is very good, only small problem is it appears to loose charge if not used for a while. If it is put away fully charged and not used for a few weeks, it will need recharging before it can be used again.
The camera takes most SD cards also allowing its memory to be extended however large you would like. It can also do video. Up to 30mins of footage can ...

Advantages: small reliable hi quality pics works in extremes fits in jeans pocket Disadvantages: everyone gets one after they see yours
I have had this brilliant little camera for almost a year, I carry it virtually everyday and as a consequence have been lucky enough to capture many of those "if only we had a camera moments". For which a few people are less than thankful.
It will fit in a cigarette packet in case you forget the dust cover
I have used it in Canada for a couple of months on an adventure packed stay even at 8000 feet up at minus 40 in light snow whist snow mobiling, ... ...was better than a couple of video recorders on the same trip. It has been rain soaked twice and has had a pint spilled over it -sticky but cleaned up OK, still working as new.
Its been dropped a few times as well, luckily not even a scratch!
I bought this from cameras2u.co.uk where I repeatedly have good service unbeatable prices and peace of mind. They had the best deal I could find in Europe the week I bought it.
The camera comes with a neat ...

Advantages: v. small, great resolution and fast start-up Disadvantages: none significant
This camera-which i received for my last birthday, has to be one of the smallest i have ever seen. However, it does not lack features as a result. The major functions are very easy to use-with separate buttons for each of 'pictures, movies, and review' which are conveniently positioned above the screen so as to be easy to switch between. The menu system is also logical, and makes full use of the wonderfully bright colour screen-which covers most ... ...very easy to read in bright sunlight. The automatic focus etc functions of this camera are much better than on others I have tried, making it comparatively easy to take excellent photos. The camera also features a 'Best Shot' button, from which a wide range of photo 'types' can be selected in order to adjust the automatic functions accordingly. With regard to the size, many people have suggested that this camera is difficult to hold as a result, ...

Advantages: Great pictures, slim line design, easy to use menu system, excellent battery Disadvantages: Recharging becomes a pain with docking station, optical lens can brake in pocket
I bought this camera back in May and have not been disappointed with the outcome.
I had previously owned the s100 and had found it to be a great camera so when it broke i decided to upgrade to the S600 which is a hugh improvement! The S600 has a fantastic 6 megapixel picture quality which is a vast improvement upon the S100 3.2 and the anti-shake feature has made almost all of my pictures perfectly clean and crisp.
This camera is an amazingly easy ... ...for those specialised moments.
The camera only falls down when it comes to the same old problem of the camera turning on in your pocket and the lenses braking as a result. this can be incredibly frustrating as it can happen quite alot to even the most contientious of people.
However all round this is a great camera for nights out and I would definately recommend! ...

Advantages: Size, speed of start up, simpicity Disadvantages: no case included
Wow, what a great little camera! We bought this camera as it was nice and small and good looking. It was within our budget with a better spec than most similarly priced cameras. We found the menu layout very simple and easy to use, there are loads of features including the multi focus option which i like a lot. The screen is nice and big and nice and bright too. The battery life is fantastic, charge up time out of the box was about an hour rather ...
