Casio Exilim Card EX-S100 Review

March 1, 2005 | Mark Goldstein | PhotographyBLOG | 3 Comments |

Casio Exilim Card EX-S100The Casio Exilim Card EX-S100 is a 3 megapixel digital camera with a 2.8x optical zoom lens that offers a focal length of 36-102mm and a large 2-inch LCD screen. On paper at least. In reality it is a super-compact, super-thin digicam that really has to be seen to be believed. Casio’s Exilim Card range of digital cameras has long been known for delivering incredibly small and slim models that are little bigger than a credit card. The Casio Exilim Card EX-S100 is no different. All of this is housed in a stylish and hard-wearing metal casing. But is the Casio Exilim Card EX-S100 just too small for its own good? Carry on reading my extensive review to find out if it’s actually a good camera or not.

We are interested in purchasing some Casio Exim S-100 we recently saw at Circuit City. In reviewing the specs, we see there is a movie mode which records .AVI files in 320x240 15fps mode. We took a 1GB SD card with us to the Circuit City store. On it we had recorded a 320x240 15fps 30 second clip.

While there, we used the display Exim S-100 and recorded a couple of 30 sec clips to the SD card.

Here's the problem, while we could play any of the movies in Windows Media Player (both the ones we recorded using the Exim S-100 and the one we had copied to the 100CASIO subdirectory), we could not successfully make that particular .AVI's play on the Exim S-100 - even though we adopted the Casio naming convention and named it within the sequence by calling it CIMG0008.AVI (high hopes when we first thought of that, too).

Anyway, we'd really like to be able to use the Exim S-100 as a micro video-playback device and yes, we know there are always people like us trying to use something for a purpose it's not intended for - but that's how new products come about!

Can you help us make this work? We're video editors as well as photographers, so format conversions are second nature to us. Fingers are crossed!
