4.0 out of 5 stars A good camera to carry anywhere., April 1, 2006
This review is from: Casio Exilim EX S600 6MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Blue) (Electronics)
Had the camera for about two weeks now. Although it is not a perfect camera, it's a good everyday camera.
Pros: Battery Life It's much longer than expected. Went two weeks without charging once. It appears that Casio's claim of 300 shots per charge is accurate.
Picture quality without flash given the size, indoor pictures without flash comes out pretty good.
Size no need to say more. Even with a case, the camera can be carried anywhere.
Quick Camera Response the camera is ready to use as soon as the 'on' button is pushed. Shutter lag time is minimal as well. A great camera to capture 'at the moment' pictures.
Good features over 20 preset special features including portrait, macro, night shots, etc.
USB Cradle Very convenient. It charges, downloads and used for viewing pictures. It retails for $50 but it was included.
Looks Best looking camera on the market. Much better looking than Canon SD550 or Nikon S5.
Cons:
The camera did not respond when on button was pushed for a couple of hours. Thought about returning the unit, but since then it has been fine. Still cannot figure out what the problem was.
No case was included. Had to purchase one for $30 (although I'm totally happy with the case).
Macro Picture Quality picture quality when taken up close is mediocre.
CD Manual It's inconvenient as I have to pop in the CD. Although a print manual comes with it, it only covers basic on/off operations. All detail features are covered in the CD manual.
Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. I mainly use the camera to take my son's pictures and the quick response has been the biggest plus as he moves around constantly. I certainly recommend the camera.
