Casio Exilim EX-FC100

Size and Handling
The FC100 is quite small, but not minuscule. It's 3.9" wide x 2.3" high x 0.89" deep (99.8 x58.5 x 22.6 mm) and weighs 5.2oz (148g). It's definitely small enough to fit into your pocket, and it's easy to handle, though it doesn't have any sort of grip area.

The FC100 is quite easy to hold.

Menu
If you've used a Casio camera in the last few years, you'll know the menu system. Most of the shooting controls are accessed via the Set button in the middle of the four-way pad, which changes ISO, white balance, shooting speed in high speed modes, and so on. If you press the Menu button you get to the deeper menu settings, where you can change focus mode, image quality, self-timers, anti-shake controls and an interesting utility called Quick Shutter which reduces the time spent focusing, in exchange for taking the photograph slightly faster. The one problem we have with Casio's menu system is that you can't press the shutter button to exit the menu and return to shooting mode. In just about every other camera on the market you can do this, but Casio insists that you press the Shooting button instead.

Ease of Use
Once you're comfortable with the Casio way of doing things, which involves using separate buttons for features that most manufacturers would assign menu choices, it's a very easy system to use.
