The Casio Exilim EX-S500 is a 5 Megapixel CCD for high-resolution photo imaging, a 2.2-inch LCD screen in a stainless steel thin body digital camera.

Andrew Cantor’s Gadget of the Week column says: “It’s designed to be quick and convenient. It’s got a great full-auto mode, as well as a host of presets (Portrait, Scenery, Sports, etc.). There’s no optical viewfinder, just a large, bright LCD. It’s quick to start up, has an almost no shutter lag, and sports an anti-shake technology, a bright flash, and even shoots 30 fps MPEG-4 movies. Its strength is its size: Tiny and slim, about the size of a credit card and less than half an inch thick. I love my Canon Digital Rebel XT, but this is the one I grab when I’m walking downtown for lunch — just in case. The biggest downside is the tiny built in memory; it will allow you three shots at the highest quality. Plan on spending an extra $50 or $60 for a 512-MG SD memory card; Casio should have included one with the Exilim, especially because it takes such nice movies.”
