Casio Exilim EX-S5

The Casio Exilim EX-S5 is an ultra-compact hi-speed digital camera small enough to fit perfectly in the palm of one’s hand. The second of two Casio EX-S models, the EX-S5 is a downgrade from the EX-S12 in that it only offers a 10 megapixel resolution (versus 12.1) and ditches many of its upgraded peer’s features.

Despite its shortcomings, the EX-S5 still comes jam-packed with a bevy of features such as a 35.5mm focal length, a 2.7” LCD display, and an SD/SHDC card. In addition, the EX-S5 records AVI movies at 848 x 480 resolution, not to mention that it comes equipped with a Casio PhotoLoader software. The EX-S5 also offers sound recording, a video out port, a USB port, and compatibility with both Macintosh and Windows PCs. The Casio Exilim EX-S5 retails for $179.99 (versus $249.99) and comes with a 90 day limited warranty.
