Casio Casio EX-FS10

Picture Quality / Size Options
The Casio S10 has a 10.1-megapixel image sensor that measures 1/2.3 inches. It allows you to take JPEG images at Fine, Normal, or Economy compression. Image sizes include 3648 x 2736, 3648 x 2432 (3:2), 3648 x 2048 (16:9), 3072 x 2304, 2304 x 1728, 1600 x 1200, and 640 x 480 pixels. In Playback mode, images can be resized to smaller sizes than what the original was shot in. For instance, a 10-megapixel image can be resized to 7-megapixels, 4-megapixels, and VGA in the Playback menu. Trimming is also possible in the Playback menu.

Picture Effects Mode
The S10 can compete with the best of them when it comes to picture effects. It has a slew of options in the Recording and Playback menus. The Recording menu allows you to photograph with all kinds of color filters: black & white, sepia, red, green, blue, yellow, pink, and purple. You can also adjust the contrast, saturation, and sharpness on +/- 2 scales with full steps. There are no live views when choosing these, though, so you’re on your own to figure out its effects. There are Monochrome and Retro Scene modes that are basically color effects for black & white and sepia.

In the Playback menu, you can change the tint of the color by switching the white balance mode – only the presets are available, of course. You can also adjust the brightness on a full-step +/- 2 scale and correct colors. There is also a rare Keystone option that corrects tilted images and straightens them out. The Casio S10 has more options than most digital cameras with its impressive effects in both the Recording and Playback modes.
