Casio have launched the new EXILIM Card EX-S10 - the world's smallest
and thinnest* 10.1 megapixel model. Casio have sought to produce a
camera with a high resolution CCD, a very bright Super Clear LCD
featuring a high contrast ratio and a wide field of view. Both the
picture taking and image viewing capabilities of this camera have
improved from previous models and its design presence has been enhanced
by keeping it as slim as possible.
EXILIM Card EX-S10 - the world's smallest and thinnest* stylish 10.1 megapixel digital camera
CASIO's EXILIM series was born with the appearance in 2002 of a
"wearable card camera" - a digital camera with a very slim form. The
new EXILIM Card EX-S10 maintains all of the powerful functionality of
the cameras that were later developed in that line (high pixel count,
zoom functionality, LCD monitor, photo functions, etc.) but it also
embodies a return to a stylish thin form and a strong design presence.
* As at January 6, 2008, for 10-megapixel class digital cameras. Based on CASIO survey.
Thin form with a refined design
The camera's
stylish body, measuring 94.2 mm wide, 54.6 mm high and 15.0 mm thin
(13.8 mm at the thinnest part) is the product of CASIO's relentless
pursuit of thinness. It is finished according to two design
requirements - a high quality feel created by the stainless steel body,
and a unique beauty derived from its coloring. The camera comes in four
colors - red, blue, silver and black.
10.1 million effective pixels, and a 3x optical zoom lens
This
new camera's thinner, smaller body was made possible without
sacrificing high resolution image quality using a newly developed 1/2.3
inch CCD. Its high resolution images can be used to create beautiful
prints even when enlarged or when the image is cropped.
2.7-inch wide and bright LCD offers high contrast
The
camera incorporates CASIO's newly developed Super Clear LCD. This
produces extremely sharp and vivid images, thanks to its high contrast
ratio and its 230,160 dot high resolution. The display can be viewed
easily from above, below, left or right thanks to its wide viewing
angle, and it is extremely bright, making it easy to see even in
daylight.
Auto Shutter function automatically records the moment of a smile or the instant when hand shake ceases
Using
motion blur detection technology, the camera can automatically take a
photo at the instant when hand shake or subject movement ceases. Users
can also automatically capture the moment of a smile, the instant when
subject movement due to panning ceases, or the moment when their own
face fills the frame as they point the camera towards themselves.
H.264 video, which can be enjoyed in wide format
These
cameras utilize the H.264 video standard, which lets users record
beautiful movies with the latest high compression technology. Users can
enjoy wide format movies in a 16:9 aspect ratio. These cameras also
feature a Movie Button for easy movie recording.
