I bought the Casio S10 and up to now was happy with it but today I discovered the zoom doesn’t work anymore. Checked the settings against the manual which indicate with time stamp off and Focus on Spot it should be working. Is the repair more expensive than the camera? I got it through QVC. can it be fixed locally at any camera shop?

How do you use panorama on the S10? Is there a setting? Is there stitching. I am completely unfamiliar with this and am very interested in using it.

Actually the new model I’ve since upgraded to (EX-S12) has an option for a “soft flash” that makes it less harsh.

The Camera is great! The only thing i dont like about it is that the flash is really intense, and the time between each picture when ur looking throught the ones you’ve taken is long.

Interesting that you were considering the Oly 850sw also. I have both but the EX-S10 is on ebay now. The picture quality is just not there, the lens has major issues at the corners and Casio seems to oversharpen the images to the point of looking fake.

Everything about the S10 is great except for the pictures themselves and that. for me is reason enough to ditch it.

I truly admire that model of camera. I know its not the type of camera, but how good you are at using the camera, but nevertheless, I still feel that I could take better pictures if I bought one.

Mama, that’s what I used the Casio S10 for (well… skiing too). Unfortunately my wife left the Casio at a basketball game a week ago so I no longer have it. I’m currently evaluating what to get to replace it. The S12 is my current top pick.

I looked at the 960 a while back and had similar thoughts to yours. The Canon has great pictures, but I really don’t need all the features packed into a P&S anyway. The one area Canon definitely beat Casio on was low light. I don’t know if they fixed that in the S12…

I always really liked that I could drop the Casio into a pocket and never worry about it. The Casio batteries were great, but at the time I bought my spare battery I think it was a little pricey (~$29). I actually never had to use the spare… whenever I took the camera out, I just swapped in the latest fresh one from the charger (Manufactures don’t recommended keeping it on a charger, I know…)

Bottom line: I haven’t found one better than the S10 yet. I am interested in finding a local store that has both the S12 and S5 to try them out side-by-side but I think I already know my answer (S12).

Hi there… I am debating between the Casio S10 and the Canon SD 960… I have bought both to compare them… just got the Casio today. I used the Canon for a party we went to last weekend and wasn’t as impressed as I thought I’d be. Camera is big, battery life sucked and the images left a little to be desired. I am basically looking for a PNS to take with me when I can’t take my Nikon D80. We do tons of outdoor festivals, pics of family, indoor concerts. Waiting for the battery to charge to try the Casio but wanted to pick your brain on the comparison of the two…
Thanks :)

[...] Reviews By michaeldolan.com I’m a digital photography junkie although I may not post here so often. I’ve always kept a well rounded portfolio of gadgets around including my Canon Rebel XT, a Sony HDR-SR7 HD video camcorder, and until now, I always used my Canon ELPH SD100 as my goto “pocket” camera that also did lightweight video recording just as many other consumer cameras do today. The SD100 had served quite a useful life and was an outstanding performer in all areas. However, a couple things were starting to create a need for an upgrade. First, the ELPH SD100 was the smallest, viable camera on the market when it came out but today, there were increasingly more “slim” and lightweight options being introduced on the market.

Just purchased the EX-S10 at a price which I really should have bargained for. In any case, reading the reviews here gave me assurance that the camera is not as bad as it felt to me. That is, blurry images even in daylight and not to mention low light. Did anyone experience similar issues in the focus and sharpness? Also, the macro mode seems very disappointing as well. Thanks

I would recommend taking it back and getting another – see if you like a working one first before trying a different camera. The issue you’re reporting on the left button is definitely not normal…

I am also having problems with the left button on the casio ex-s10 and I am pretty sure I am going to take back the camera to costco today… Every time I try to scroll left, it goes up or down instead and it is soooo annoying! Any recommendations for a better camera? I hear a lot of ya’ll talking about a canon??

I also am having problems with the left button. I am a teacher and one of my students is also having problems with the left button on her s10 as well. Otherwise I love the camera and think the h.264 is worth the price itself.

I was torn by the same decision points but for me size was THE key factor. Another factor was that the SD1000 actually only produces an “ok” image unlike it’s higher end Canon siblings. The Canon really only beats the SD10 in low light situations where the Casio is not strong. I don’t think there’s a wrong decision here and it comes down to your preferences. I don’t regret my decision.

nevermind. went to best buy and saw both cameras in person. i decided on the canon sd1100. it is not as slim as the s10, but still a pretty petit camera with many more features and better quality pics in the store than the s10. thanks for your posts! they were very helpful anyway! Gaz.

I have been completely torn between the Canon Powershot SD 1100 IS and the Casio Exilim S10. On the one hand, I know Canon takes better shots. Period. But I love the portability of the S10. When I really look at the two, the Canon isn’t THAT much bigger. So the question comes down to size and preference. And, unfortunately, I can find perfect situations in which each camera would be a best fit for me. I am going to indonesia in a month. I have thought “a light camera I can take everywhere would be perfect” ..but then i think, “but maybe a nice picture is far more important.” And that is the main issue i am having. I have this “idea” that CASIO (who makes calculator-watches) cannot possibly deliver the performance of a CANON. So is it worth sacrificing the small size difference and weight? I don’t know…what is your opinion MD? I am going to best buy to see them again. Then I will come home and buy the camera I choose online…where they are ineviteably cheaper. Please reply and I will seriously consider your words.
