Reviews for Casio Exilim EX-S2 2MP Digital Camera

Amazon.com Review
Casio calls their Exilim EX-S2 a wearable card camera, and it lives up--or should we say down--to that name. About the size and heft of a deck of cards (at .44 inches, it's even a bit thinner), the EX-S2 can be worn around the neck and barely be noticed.

And Casio packs what it can into the tiny frame. The camera captures 2-megapixel still images and AVI movies (without sound) at 320 by 240 pixels. Its 1.6-inch TFT LCD is bright enough to use for framing shots and viewing captured images in daylight. And the built-in flash carries about six feet--some indoor images taken farther than that from our subjects appeared a little dark.

But, otherwise, images proved to be bright and crisp, with rich and realistic colors. Outdoor images were as good as much larger and more expensive cameras, while indoor shots within the EX-S2's flash range were sharp enough to print out.

The tiny docking station that ships with the camera recharges the battery and provides a link to your PC (you can't connect the camera to your computer without going through it). The EX-S2 includes 12 MB of internal memory that can be expanded by purchasing an optional Secure Digital memory card.

Of course, the small size does constrain the camera features. There's no optical zoom on the EX-S2--only a 4x digital zoom instead of a preferred optical zoom. And the 2-megapixel limit is best for snapshots and medium-quality enlargements up to 8 x 10.

But if it's portability and ease of use that you want from your camera, you won't find many that will fit as snugly in a pocket or around your wrist than this miniscule yet still powerful device. --J. Curtis

Amazon.com Product Description
With a super-slim design and having the height and length of a credit card, the Casio Exilim EX-S2 is sure to have heads turning as you effortlessly snap high-quality digital photos. Don't let the size fool you, the EX-S2 is equipped with a 2.11-megapixel sensor, 12 MB of built-in memory, and full-motion movie recording.

Optics and Resolution
The 2.11-megapixel CCD sensor captures sharp and brilliant images of up to 1,600 by 1,200 pixels, creating prints with sizes of up to 8 by 10 inches. Focusing is fixed for effortless operation, and the 4x digital zoom brings you up close to the action. Most other digital cameras are slow in operation, but the Exilim's speedy start-up time, lens, and CPU get to work so that, when the camera's turned on, a photo is taken in 0.01 seconds of pressing the shutter, capturing that otherwise lost moment.

Storage and Transfer
Images are stored on 12 MB of internal memory, which stores about 24 images with settings at normal resolution. If you want more memory, the expansion slot is compatible with any MMC or SD memory card. You can quickly and easily transfer your files onto a PC or Mac using the USB port for computer editing and sharing with friends and family.

Movie Mode
In addition to taking still photos, the Exilim can also record AVI movie clips. The movie can be as long as 30 seconds at a resolution of 320 by 240 pixels.

More Features
Many of the Exilim's settings can be modified, such as programmed exposure, white balance, and flash. When you shoot in the "best shot" mode you can select a stored photo that looks similar to the photo you want to take and the camera automatically sets up to achieve that look. You can easily keep track of all these modes using the large 1.6-inch color LCD screen.

Power, Size, and Contents
The Exilim comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which has an approximate battery life of 65 minutes. The camera itself measures 3.46 by 2.16 by 0.44 inches and weighs 3.1 ounces without the battery. Other standard accessories are a hand strap, CD-ROM with imaging software, USB cradle and cable, and AC adapter for cradle.


From Digital Living Today
The Casio Exilim EX-S2 2MP Digital Camera is one of those products that you want as soon as you see it. It has features that are easy to use. It recharges quickly. It can take 30-second video clips. It produces good, 2 mega-pixel images. It's well-priced. But these are all perks we see often in a digital camera. What makes the EX-S2 so attractive is its size. This camera is tiny! Not only can you shove it in your pocket, no matter how small your pockets are, but you can practically shove it in your wallet. One centimeter thick and credit card-sized, it's packed with all of the features listed above. On top of it all, the Exilim is fast: no annoying waits for the flash to recharge, no long lag time between shots. All in all this is really a product that will make even the most jaded tech heads say, "Wow!"

Manufacturer Product Description
Pull out a credit card from your wallet or purse and hold it in front of you. You've just had a near-Exilim experience; about the size of a credit card with the ability to capture incredible shots with ease. The Exilim EX-S2 comes with everything you need to make point and shoot picture taking an art form. On the outside it's the perfect fashion accessory. On the inside, the 2.0 megapixel power, 4x digital zoom and exclusive Multi-Chip Module greatly reduces power consumption to maximize battery life and photo quality.

You may have been there. The perfect moment is happening while you're waiting for your digital camera to turn on, focus and determine it's automatic exposure settings. So the moment you capture is less than perfect. Exilim has revolutionized point-and-shoot for the digital world, with a near instant start up time. It's ready to shoot in about 1 second. Then it's just a snap of the shutter and your Exilim shoots in one hundredth of a second. What perfection!

Best Shot
Are "f-stop" and "white balance" foreign terms for you? Sit back, relax and let Best Shot take care of the dirty work while you concentrate on capturing that moment. There is no fussing with calibrations, no filters or attachments. Best Shot has six built in settings that help you create the shot you want to express. Whether it's a portrait, landscape or a night scene, Best Shot will capture it for you.

Lens & CCD
The lens and the newly-developed high-sensitivity CCD are integrated into a single unit, which helps the Exilim keep its slender figure. The new 1/1.8-inch progressive CCD is larger than the current mainstream 1/2.7-inches, allowing for the largest cell (4.4 micron pitch) in its class. The result? Super speed, reduced blurring due to movement and no need for flash in low lighting positions. In the end, you get a great shot.

TFT-LCD Interface
The world's first digital interface TFT LCD for a digital camera was specially designed and produced by Casio forthe Exilim.

Multi-Chip Module (MCM)
This is where the power is. Casio developed a new CPU, ASIC, SDRAM and Flash memory to save on power consumption. The result, four chips into one multi-chip module which is 70% smaller than other models.

Memory
The Exilim EX-S2 has an internal memory of 10MB, for storing photos and short movies. Plus you can hundreds of more photos with optional larger capacity SD/MMC memory cards. Take your best shot. All day long.

Lithium-Ion Battery
High-performance rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries are standard on all Exilim models. Recharging is a simple matter of connecting the battery to the USB docking station supplied with the camera or using the optional external battery charger.
