Amazon.com Product Description

The Casio Exilim EX-S3 digital camera packs a 3.2-megapixel CCD sensor and a large 2.0-inch LCD screen into a body that's only a half-inch thick. Its high-speed startup minimizes the time until the camera is ready to shoot after being turned on and a 0.01 release time lag records the image virtually as soon as you press the shutter release button.

Optics and Resolution
The Exilim EX-S3's 3.2-megapixel CCD image sensor yields a maximum image size of 2048 x 1536 pixels, for print enlargements up to 11 x 14 inches. While the Exilim EX-S3 doesn't have an optical zoom feature, you can get closer to your subject with the 4x digital zoom.

Storage and Transfer
In addition to its 10 MB of built-in memory, the Exilim EX-S3 also supports use of thin, compact Secure Digital (SD) and MultiMedia (MMC) memory cards (not included). An easy operation copies images between a memory card and built-in memory. Images can be downloaded to either a Mac or PC via USB connectivity, which means it can be connected to any USB-based Windows Me/2000/XP and Mac OS 8.6 or later computer without installing any software.

Movie Mode
The Exilim EX-S3 captures 320 x 240 resolution video clips (with no sound) at 12 frames per second up to 30 seconds in length. The QuickTime Motion JPEG format offers a limited resolution, which is great for capturing a short movie that can be e-mailed to friends and family, but is no replacement for a true camcorder.

More Features
The Best Shot Mode provides optimum camera setups in an instant. Simply select the sample scene that is similar to the image you want to record, and the camera's exposure compensation, white balance, and other settings are configured accordingly.

With the included cradle, you can connect to your PC or Mac and transfer images easily via USB. The PhotoLoader software automatically transfers all JPEG and AVI files in image memory to the computer. You can also start a slideshow of images currently in the camera's memory.

Other features include:

Built-in flash with auto, on, off, and red-eye reduction modes.
Calendar screen provides visual diary of images to help you quickly search and locate the image you want.
Direct print ability to select Epson printers without the need of transferring images to PC.

Power, Size, and Contents
The camera is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery (included). It measures 3.5 x 2.4 x 0.5 inches and weighs 2.5 ounces. This package includes the Exilim EX-S3 digital camera, battery, AC adapter, dock, USB cable, hand strap, and CD-ROM with imaging software and USB drivers for Windows and Mac.

Little Wonder.......2006-05-24

After reading some of the negative reviews on this little technological gem, I felt obligated to write my own review.

I've owned the EX-S3 since 2003 and still take it with me everywhere I go in 2006. I hang in around my neck on a small chain and carry it in my hand at other times. I've taken photos in the rain and it's been with me in 113 degree weather in the Mojave desert. It has never missed a step! As far as optical zoom is concerned, I don't use it. I take the photos into Photoshop and crop them there, no problem. By the way, that photo at the top of the page of the outdoor mall, is mine. It was taken while I was walking. The result is exactly the way it came out of the camera ... no Photoshop, no adjustments. Judge for yourself!

Finally, I'm always suspicious of people who write negative camera reviews and then, in the same breath, mention other cameras and brands they like better. No, I don't work for Casio. Yes, I own other digital camera brands.

It's good but it could be better.......2006-03-04

I bought this camera because, like a lot of people, I hate being burdened by a camera when taking a trip/vacation/outing. And, for that purpose it works great.

So far, this camera has been to Austin, San Antonio, New Orleans (pre-flood), London, New York, Galveston, South Padre Island, San Francisco, Dallas, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Acapulco and on a cruise to destinations like Jamaica and Grand Cayman. Let's face it, this things been around! And through all of that, it has worked flawlessly giving me image after image of wonderful photos, some which even grace my home as photos and many of which are in photo albums.

I challenge those who say their pictures aren't clear or come out terrible. With proper usage, the camera can take excellent pictures. But, if you're looking for something to take wonderful nature photos of beautiful vistas, this isn't the camera for you. This one is for quick pictures, close up, not requiring excessive zoom. This is your "I just spotted someone famous camera and need to take a quick picture".

So, why only 4 stars you ask? Only because it's digital zoom sucks and is probably the single negative trait which is contributing to reviewers claiming it takes bad pictures of poor quality.

excellent camera!.......2005-01-20

The Casio Exilim EX-S3 3MP Digital Camera is a masterpiece.
Consistently awesome photographs when set on the "fine" setting (no pixelated images).
Operating it is a no-brainer even though it has a lot of high-end user adjustable features. The "best shot" feature takes any quesswork out of the picture-taking process.

You will need an additional mmc card (256 Megs recommended).

This camera rocks!

Excellent, Tiny, Lightweight, Take-Everywhere Dig Cam..........2005-01-17

My overall rating of this tiny digital camera has been positive so far. When buying a digital camera, I basically wanted to focus on shutter speed since my last digital camera, Kodak LS 443's shutter speed was so slow compared to Casio Exilim. I also wanted a lightweight digital camera. I also had a budget in which I didn't want to spend tons of money on a gadget in which will be replaced by a newer higher-tech gadget later on. And wanted a user-friendly digital camera in which I didn't need to carry their manual with me. Here were my reasons for buying this digital camera:

First of all, I bought this camera after my x-bf got his Exilim M2 which I fell in love and had to get my own Casio Exilim. It is such a small digital camera in which I take with me in purse and can snap a quick picture anywhere and anytime.

Second of all, it has a HUGE LCD display which makes it easier to see what your picture will look like when you are trying to center the picture.

Third of all, price of this digital camera was very reasonable compared to other high-end digital camera, like Sony.

Fourt of all, it is such an user-friendly digital camera that I didn't need to read the manual at all.

Lastly, I set my picture resolution to FINE in order to see the best picture quality and I love the fast shutter-speed. Keep up the great work @ Casio. I can't wait for S100 price to go down since that will be my next gadget purchase. It's too bad that Casio is not being sold in a lot of the bigger electronics store but more available online in which case, I bought it from Amazon.com site. I bought this camera last 5/2004 and it still takes excellent pictures. I take a lot of events pictures.

Great camera but not durable at all.......2004-08-20

Lovely camera, great photos while it lasts. Fits wonderfully in your pocket. But that's exactly the problem--the camera seems to be extremely heat or moisture sensitive. Though I was careful not to carry it with anything else that might scratch it, small "blooms" or spots gradually form on the LCD display and inside the lens, ruining both the viewfinder and the pictures. Perhaps this is the reason they have discontinued this model.
