Casio Exilim EX-S100

REVIEW DATE:12.20.04

Casio Exilim EX-S100

REVIEW

By Tony Hoffman

The Casio Exilim EX-S100 is perhaps the most elegant camera in our roundup. It has an understated design in stainless steel, with just a few unobtrusive buttons. Further, Casio bills the EX-S100 as the world's smallest digital camera with an optical zoom lens; it's the size of a credit card and amazingly thin, thanks to its novel ceramic lens technology.

Bottom Line

The EX-S100 is an elegant camera that's a joy to shoot with. It's the first camera to use a ceramic lens element, which has enabled Casio to make it amazingly thin. We only wish that the camera's photo quality matched its impressive looks: Our test shots were disappointing, with focus, color, and exposure problems.

Pros

Small, sleek, and stylish; clear menu system with large type; lots of scene modes, with excellent text descriptions. Pan-focus mode lets you bypass autofocus for quicker shots; real-time histogram helps you make sure you get the best exposure. Fast boot time.

Cons

Fuzzy photos, with unappealing color. Pricey for a 3.2MP camera and for the photo quality. No optical viewfinder.
