Casio Exilim: slim as Twiggy
By Gareth Powell
They say you can be neither too rich or too slim. Missed out on both.
But the new Casio Exilim, which comes eight years after that emaciated camera’s first model, is very slim AND is very rich in megapixels.
If you want to travel lightly AND take great pictures — you cannot do that, yet with the iPhone, although it could happen — this may be the ideal camera for you.
It is claimed to be the ‘thinnest 10-megapixel’ digital camera on the market and it is a claim that stands up to examination.
Complaints have been made elsewhere that this has only got a three times zoom lens which gives you what would be 36-108mm on a film 35 mm camera. My guess is 99.9 percent of the championship shots of the world — let us leave sport out of it — were shot within that range. This is not a restriction that should bother you.
It looks stylish, it slips in your pocket, it has an excellent on-screen menu. If you want to bitch the buttons are a bit small.
The Casio Exilim EX-S10 is more than a point-and-shoot camera — although you can use it as one. It is also the perfect totally portable digital camera.
