Digital Camera Review

1.7 The Casio Exilim EX-S600 is a card-sized ultra slim camera measuring 3.54 x 2.32 x 0.63 inches, with a 3x optical zoom lens. In the US, it will be available in three flashy colors – silver, orange, and blue. The 6 megapixel camera is a follow-up to Casio's recent 5 megapixel EX-S500. In addition to increased resolution, the EX-S600 offers Casio's ISO-boosting “Anti Shake DSP” in video mode, and offers much longer battery life than its predecessor. It's due to be available at the end of March 2006, with a suggested retail price of $399.99.

Casio Exilim EX-S600


Picture Quality / Size Options (7.0)
The EX-S600 offers six image sizes: 6 megapixel, 6 megapixel in 3:2 ratio, 4 megapixel, 3 megapixel, 2 megapixel, and VGA, which is about 0.6 megapixels. It also offers three compression settings, which are labeled Fine, Normal, and Economy.

Smaller image sizes make more compact files on memory cards and hard disks, but they show less detail. Likewise, “Economy” files are smaller, but are much lower quality than “Fine” images.

Picture Effects Mode (7.5)
The EX-S600 has a range of shooting effects, from the pedestrian black-and-white and sepia to a series of color effects. Called “filters” the effects add red, green, blue, yellow, pink, or purple casts to images as they are shot. Any of the effects are easy to duplicate with digital editing software on a computer.
