Casio Exilim EX-S5 Review
By
While I have a digital SLR camera that I love I do have one small problem. It’s bulky. I cannot easily fit it into the diaper bag for trips to the park or for taking a quick picture or two at a birthday party. I have been on the search for a good digital camera that is slim profile so it fits easily in small spaces.
I was lucky enough to find everything I wanted in the Casio Exilim. This little beauty boasts 10.1 megapixels with a 3x optical zoom/4x digital zoom. It is a simple point and shoot that also has some manual functions. It is perfect for all of us in the family. Once I showed Charlie which button to press he was able to take some shots. (He’s no great photographer yet and we got quite a few pics of people’s rear ends.)
We love the anti-shake function. Steve has some mild tremors that he cannot control so many of his pictures come out blurry. That is no longer a worry with the Casio Exilim. It takes wonderful shots including most of the ones you have seen on this site in the past month. I’m beyond impressed with the quality and ease of editing. We’ve recorded a few videos with the Casio Exilim and it’s not only easy to record, it’s easy to upload to Youtube with the software that comes with the camera.
The Casio Exilim comes in 5 colors including pink and blue. And comes with charger and a limited built-in memory. I would add an SD card for extra memory though. Once you start using this camera you won’t want to put it down.
BUY IT: You can purchase the Casio Exilim in retailers across the country or online at stores including Amazon
PROS
- Slim body
- Colorful
- 10.1 megapixels
- Face detection, best shot and Youtube video capture modes
CONS
- I have looked everywhere and cannot find where there is a charger for the car. Sounds odd but we travel extensively and who hasn’t been in the position to have dead batteries. I would strongly suggest buying an extra battery to have charged and ready.
