The Casio Exilim EX-S600 Digital Camera is barely larger than a credit card and just 0.54" at its thinnest point. Packed into the pocket-sized body are 6.0 megapixels of resolution for still images, and MPEG-4 quality movie recording capabilities. No matter how spontaneous the situation, the Exilim engine's Anti Shake DSP reduces blurring caused by shaky hands and/or moving subjects, and the Auto Macro and Quick Shutter functions ensure that photos are properly focused. In addition to enhanced resolution, the EX-S600's 3x zoom and increased battery life allowing up to 300 shots per battery charge provide significant photographic flexibility, and The Best Shot menu includes the Revive Shot feature, created specifically for taking digital pictures of old album photos and automatically adjusts for obliquity as well as brightly refreshes faded colors.
Whether framing a shot, reviewing images, or watching movies, everything is brighter when displayed on the adjustable 2.2 inch LCD, making it ideal for outdoor use. Small enough to conveniently carry wherever you go, the EX-S600 has one-touch buttons that allow quick start up of the camera to view images and take pictures, as well as one for taking movies, all designed to quickly capture special moments. The EX-S600 connects easily to a TV or PC via the multi cradle, which also doubles as the battery charger.
