At A Glance
This ultra-thin camera offers a lot of manual settings and features such as anti-shake, but its images didn't look so sharp.
Manufacturer’s Description
The EX-S500 is barely larger than a credit card and just .54" at its thinnest point. Packed into the pocket-sized body are 5.0 mega pixels and MPEG-4 quality movie recording capabilities, allowing more than one hour of standard video recording when using a 1GB SD memory card. And, with Casio?s EXILIM Engine?s Anti Shake DSP, blurry pictures are nearly a thing of the past.
