Excellent noise performance
Great resolution scores
Heavily oversaturated colors
Awful video performance
Introduction
The Casio Exilim EX-S200 is an entry-level pocket camera with a couple surprises under the hood. It’s easy to use—most of the time—and some aspects of its performance are surprisingly strong. There aren’t a lot of exciting features, but one or two might intrigue beginning users. For the money, you could certainly do worse.
The S200 is available in pink, orange, blue, black, or silver for an MSRP of $159.99.
