Product Description
Casio's EXILIM series was born with the appearance of a ''wearable card camera'' - a digital camera with a very slim form. The EXILIM CARD EX-S10 maintains all of the powerful functionality of the cameras that were later developed in that line (high pixel count, zoom functionality, LCD monitor, photo functions, etc.), but it also embodies a return to a stylish thin form and a strong design presence.

 Two steps forward, but two steps back April 29, 2008
34 out of 36 found this review helpful
This camera is a bit of a missed opportunity. I've owned two previous Casio Exilim Card-series cameras in this same line. With each iteration, the camera gets better, and this one is no exception with respect to size, which is a big deal. The whole point of this camera is how small and therefore useable it is--you can take it to parties etc. It's smaller and more detailed than ever, and that's two steps forward.
However, Casio has inexplicably changed two things for the worst with this latest one. For one thing, it took away the cradle charger/downloader. No idea why they'd do that. It was a very convenient and stylish way to store the camera, and you could keep the battery in. Now you have to take it out and put it in the travel charger which is hanging on a wall plug--inconvenient and unsightly. Worse, you have to reset the time etc. on the camera every time now. For those of us who care about time and dates, this is a real pain.
The other step back, a worse one, is that once you choose a Best Shot mode and shut off the camera, you lose that default and it goes back to full auto. WHY?? The whole point of a tiny camera like this for many of us who keep coming back to this line is that we can fit it in our pocket and take it to parties at night. There, you need the Party or Nighttime scene mode. But every time you now shut off the camera and turn it back on, you have to go back to the scenes and find the mode again! WHY? Totally kills the moments, and it's a big step back. At least add an easy software option for those of us that want the camera to stay in a certain mode until we change it, like Sony has. This is a disappointing change in this line.
 No way to charge without removing battery!! February 20, 2008

This is my 5th (5th generation) Casio Exilim and I would have, without a doubt, given this camera a 5 star review if it wasn't for the fact the ONLY WAY TO CHARGE THE BATTERY is to take it out and stick it in the travel charger.
The battery doesn't come out easy making the process tediously annoying and then every time you re-insert it you have to go through the process of resetting the date & time. It makes me want to chuck it out the window!
Casio stated there are no known plans to offer a desktop cradle charger (unlike all the previous Exilms). This is such a huge step backwards that I'm actually selling my brand new EX-S10 on ebay tonight!
For this reason I highly recommend NOT BUYING this camera but could recommend the Exilm EX-S880 as an alternative.
P.S. The "Best Shot" mode doesn't store after shut off so if your at a party at night (etc) everytime you turn the camera on you have to reselect the night mode. A sad feature loss.
 Smile! The camera's waiting... February 16, 2008

Seriously, go to Target and give it a test-run. As soon as you try the auto-shutter feature you'll be sold. If you set the auto-shutter to smile, it will wait until the subject smiles to take the picture. It's the best when using it on uncooperative children. No more waiting for them to smile and being a second too late. Also, the continuous shutter mode worked to get pictures of my mother who can never seem to keep her eyes open. It is an excellent point-and-shoot camera with 36 presets to get the right picture. It even has a pre-set for self-portraits where you're holding the camera backwards! In addition, it is one of the few cameras with a functional video mode. While it is a great point-and-shoot, it has easily-navigable menus to take control over every aspect of a picture, giving you the advantages of an SLR for the perfect shot, every time. It's light and compact design is great for touring or to simply slip into your pocket and take it with you around town. It is simply an amazing camera that takes high quality pictures. No regrets.
Very Pleased! Simple and extremely SMALL camera! March 10, 2008

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!
 Proprietary USB Cable April 28, 2008

Great camera with ONE exception!
The USB cable is proprietary. While the camera input sort of looks like a mini-USB, it is NOT!
Come on Casio! I am glad you dumped the dock but where is USB!!!
