Comments about Casio Exilim EX-S12 Digital Camera (Black):
This is a great little camera with lots of the same features as on my digital SLR. It is very easy to use. The screen has very good resolution. I can take high speed action shots. My two complaints are that it takes about 5 seconds to write to the memory card...even with a high speed card. My previous Casio Exilim did not have this problem. And the writing on the control buttons is hard to read...could just be my old eyes.

Comments about Casio Exilim EX-S12 Digital Camera (Black):
I've had both Exilims and Powershots, and think they are both great in their own right. If you are looking for better performance in speed and consistent quality of photos, I would say go with Canon Powershot. I decided to go back to the Casio Exilim after my Powershot died (a lot of use) and wanted to go for more features and super-slim profile. Certain aspects could definitely be better but for the price (I got it on sale for $200 here on B&H) I have been very happy so far, about a month of ownership.
