Casio Exilim Digital Camera

casio digital camera

Taking pictures is one of my favorite things to do. I am by no means a great photographer at all. But I love taking pictures anyways, just to capture all of life’s moments. And since I’m no professional, I look for camera’s that can help me take amazing photographs. Casio’s high speed Exilim digital camera does just that.

I can’t even tell you how thrilled I was to get a chance to review Casio’s Exilim EX-S5 digital camera. When it first arrived, right off the bat, I was amazed at how slim and compact the camera is. The color was awesome too, blue. The LCD screen was larger than my previous camera and there were a lot less buttons. My previous camera had a turn button on the back to change the settings to night, scenery, movie, etc. I was constantly accidently turning the button and it would change the setting and of course, I wouldn’t notice until after I took the picture. This camera (thankfully) does not have that. Instead it has normal buttons to change the settings. Some camera’s I think take a while to figure everything out and get adjusted to how it works, but I found this camera to be rather simple. Probably due to the fact that there were fewer buttons, but the functions were all there.

I have used this camera just about every day since I got it. I brought it with me when I recently went out with a group of girlfriends and they were all impressed with its high speed. Meaning, we didn’t have to wait for forty flashes before it took the picture. It takes the picture in exceptional speed. My two favorite functions is the face detection and Best Shot mode. Best Shot mode allows you to take the best quality picture possible in certain settings (23) such as scenery, portrait, food, sports, flowers, sundown, etc. I am really happy with the way my pictures have turned out using these settings.

Here is a picture of fireworks that I took friday night, July 3rd at around 8:30pm est. This was done using the fireworks setting under the Best Shot mode.


This next one is a picture I took using the sports setting under the Best Shot mode.

And here is one on the regular mode


As you can see, this camera takes fabulous pictures. Let me list some of this camera’s specifications.

  • 10.1 megapixels
  • 3x optical zoom
  • YouTube capture mode
  • SDHC Memory Card, SD Memory Card, Eye-Fi wireless Card compatible
  • 4x digital zoom (12x in combination with optical zoom)
  • rechargeable lithium ion battery
  • 2.7-inch wide TFT color LCD

I am very happy with this camera overall. I can’t think of anything I would change about it. It fits nicely in my purse and more importantly in my clutch. And the picture quality is truly wonderful.

Thanks to Casio, I get to offer one of my readers their very own Casio Exilim EX-S5!! Lucky ducks you!

    I would love to have this camera because I have an SLR camera which is perfect for certain situations, but it would be great to have a smaller one that I can slip into my purse and take anywhere!

    I'm still stuck in the pre-digital camera age. Wonderful for what it offers, the only problem is that convenience is not one of the options. I desperately need a digital camera. No more being a Luddite!

    Thanks for the opportunity!

    My digital camera is too outdated, I need a higher MP camera like the Exilim EX-S5.
