Amazon.com Product Description

The Casio EX-S500 5MP Exilim Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom lifts the bar for family-friendly digital photography. As powerful as it is petite, this notecard-sized camera will pique interest and turn heads with its unique design. You'll win praise from your friends and family when you start sharing the shots and video you've taken. Whether it's a TV-quality video of your child's first step, or a large family portrait you've had printed for framing, the EX-S500 is designed to deliver.

And this camera proves that looks can truly be deceiving. At about the size of small wallet, with a stylish grey body, the EX-S500 is loaded with features that were formerly reserved for a camera twice as large and much more expensive. Included among the many features are:

With 5.0-megapixel resolution, you won't have to worry about grainy, pixelated images when it's time to print. The CCD (charge-coupled device) technology delivers beautiful images and combined with a high-quality lens, this camera is built to produce professional-quality prints with remarkable clarity, precision, and sharpness from edge to edge. You no longer have to sacrifice quality for the convenience that digital photography delivers. With an anti-shake system to minimize blur due to hand movement, auto-macro to ensure proper focus, and a quick shutter speed to catch all the action, Casio will keep your subjects looking great shot after shot.

And when it's time to make a movie, the EX-S500 will be waiting to deliver outstanding video that you can simply plug straight into your TV for instant viewing. With up to 640 x 480 pixels of resolution, and a zoom-in feature and digital stabilization that will keep your frames from shaking, you'll have the confidence you need to capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments.

In short, the Casio EX-S500 gives you everything you need right out of the box to start capturing moments with professional-quality photos and videos.

What's in the Box
EX-S500 digital camera, NP-20 rechargeable lithium-ion battery, CA-28 USB cradle, special AC adapter, AC power cord, USB cable, AV cable, strap, software, and basic reference guide.
Product Description
At its thinnest, the Casio EXS500 Digital-camera is about a 1/2-inch thin. That makes it one of the smallest cameras available and at about 6 ounces (with battery and optional SD memory card installed) among the lightest. This means that this is a camera that goes where you go, without stress or strain. With fully automatic exposure and auto focus modes, getting great pictures and movies is simply point-&-shoot. Super life battery allows up to 200 pictures per charge, based on CIPA standards. You can shoot up to 1 hour of movies when you add an optional 1GB SD memory card. The 8MB internal memory makes this camera ready to take a picture or two straight out of the box but wisdom dictates that you purchase an optional SD digital-media card when getting this camera and we suggest getting at least a 256MB card if you're shooting stills or a 512MB minimum card if you plan to include movie images. The camera has a built-in, multimode electronic-flash for taking pictures in dark areas. Simply smile.

4 out of 5 stars i love my camera :).......2007-06-20

ive had this camera for around 3 years already! i got it as a present for christmas. the strap and one of the screws has popped out recently but it still works just fine. my sister has an even more expensive canon camera, but it cant even take pictures w/o flash w/o blurring but i find that the casio does it just fine. i love all the features on it, especially the different themes for video taking. the flash is really bright too.

2 out of 5 stars 5 stars for camera - zero stars for service.......2007-04-29

I loved the size and quality better than expected given it's compactness, but if you have to send it for warranty repair get ready to pay. The optical zoom broke after opening in my front pocket. I sent it back to Casio and they said it wasn't under warranty because there was a slight 'blemish' on the other side of the case - which voids the warranty. Probably a scratch from a quarter or something in my pocket. I called and wrote letters to no avail. If you are able to fix cameras yourself, go for it, otherwise go with a company with better customer service.

5 out of 5 stars An Amazing, Ultra Thin Camera, that Takes Great Pictures and Videos with Sound........2007-03-22

This camera is great! Not only does it take great digital photos and is extremely user friendly, but if you add a 1GB memory card to it (which slides right in and only costs about $40.00) you can take a LOT of great quality digital videos with sound that are very easy to upload to your computer and/or the internet and email to family etc. In fact, there is no need to buy a video camera when you have this and it fits right in your pocket. I can take up to 30 minute videos and lots of photos at one time. You can easily take a photo while you are making a video as well.

5 out of 5 stars This small, affordable camera shoots great photos and videos!!.......2007-01-04

This has got to be the best camera for the money that you can buy right now!! I was looking for an affordable camera, small and thin, a well-known name brand, takes sharp digital photos, can shoot at low light, uses cheap SD cards, good-sized LCD display, and can take decent videos. Well, this Casio Exilim is everything and more, and at a great price. I have used it so much during my out-of-state travels without running out of power or memory (I bought a 2gb SD card for $20 at [...] and I can take more a 1000 hi-res photos or about an hour of video). I was absolutely surprised at how good the videos are that I can shoot on this small digital camera, that now I have decided not to buy a new video camcorder, as this Casio Exilim is all that I would need for any occasion. If you're in the market for a great camera, look no further than the Casio Exilim.
