Casio Exilim  email this discussion to a friend?

I'm very excited happy I've purchased digital cameras as gifts for both my daughters over the years but I never seem to spend money on things for myself. I've always been dedicated to my 35mm print camera (which takes great shots consistently) but, seeing how it's feeling more and more like a dinosaur, I have often fed my interest in photography by borrowing those cameras back from my daughters.

Finally, I saw a deal I couldn't pass up and I bought one for myself. I got a Casio Exilim EX-S10. I read so many reviews and it seems like a good starting point for me. It does lack some of the stabilization I was looking for but, overall, it seemed like a good value for the sale price.

Does anyone have experience with this camera? Any tips that you can offer me or anything I should know as I learn about it and use it? I can't wait to get started! LOL

For working purpose, I used Casio EX-S880 but I am not lucky after 5 month using as normal. Finally, I have crack on edge of camera cover. I already complain to them - they can not solved and very poor on service. Sorry ...

Other than that, It was great camera a lot of feature and long life battery. Photo result is just enough and focusing problem with low light or macro.

I prefer on Sony or Nikon pocket camera...

Thank you so much for letting me know about this, cwachid! If there are weaknesses in construction, it's good to be aware of it so I will be doubly careful with my new camera. Your point on customer service is appreciated as well. Companies that stand by their products and customers' needs are valued.

I have seen this camera in the store and liked how it looked. The LCD screen was huge!

I thought it had some great features - 10 megapixels and I think it allowed you to lower the ISO under 100? Great for taking pictures when it is really bright outside.

As for the stablizaton..I have stopped using the LCD screen while taking pictures. I now look through the viewfinder so it is easier to keep the camera steady.

My daughter said the same thing about the LCD screen LOL It's quite a bit bigger than the one on her camera. I've got the battery charged and loaded now so I can't wait to start doing some test photos... I figure that will be another way for me to see if the stabilization issue will be a pro or con for me, too. I'm crossing my fingers! happy

Congratulations on your new camera. I was slow to go digital but what I like about using mine is how I can frame a shot as opposed to taking a photo and then cropping it later the old fashioned way.


myLot reputation of 99/100. thinkingoutloud (3182)   ranked 864 out of 2,279 in photography  3 years ago

Thanks, Canellita! I'm hoping to have a lot of fun with this as I learn. I understand what you mean, too, as I've spent a lot of time cropping photos taken with my 35mm. And, guess what? Since this camera has movie capability, maybe I'll get one of the squirrel wars in my backyard after all, like we were discussing elsewhere. LOL!!!

My camera has good video quality so I have been starting to experiment and so far so good.
