Comments about Casio Exilim EX-S10 Digital Camera (Silver):
This camera was great to take on vacation.
We used it at a wedding and traveling in
all sorts of settings and light and it
performed wonderfully well. I was able
to take shots quickly and it is small and
fits in my purse so it's always available
when I need it. I highly recommend it.

Comments about Casio Exilim EX-S10 Digital Camera (Silver):
This is a great camera. I purchased it for going out at night, too clubs, parties and other social functions. Its great for that. It fits perfectly in my pocket and is ready at the push of a button. I know a little about photography and it has all the bells and whistles that my SRL has. It really allows me to play with the setings and get the best shot possible.

Comments about Casio Exilim EX-S10 Digital Camera (Silver):
Just bought the worlds thinnest camera* (* as of jan 8th!) and am really pleased. I use a camera just to put in my pocket and take pictures of people and things I see that I like, so this camera is perfect. Its very, very slim and small. My choice was between a leica and this - but I think if your going to get a leica, you should go SLR - if its just a simple camera to carry round, this is ideal.
I was not sure about casio as a brand but when I took some pictures I was impressed.
The pictures I've taken so far came out really nice, clear, bright and good quality when I transferred to my computer. The LCD is huge for the size of the camera.
Drawbacks I would say are that you cannot fool around with this camera - if does not feel THAT sturdy but its fine for normal use. note to self: do not take out when consuming more than 4 units of alcohol! :) Also, low lighting pictures dont look fantastic on the LCD (a little grainy, but when on a p.c they look fine!)
Set up was very easy and very simple to get used to! Highly recommend!
