Editorial Review:
Product Description:
The EXILIM EX-S12 is the perfect combination of design and technology in an ultra-slim format. The camera, which is as slim as it is elegant, is equipped with amazing functions, such as the EXILIM engine 4.0, 12.1-megapixels, an extremely bright and high-contrast 6.9-cm wide-screen TFT display (super clear LCD), HD video recording and 3x optical zoom.

My camera has broken twice. I bought it at Radioshack and unfortunately lost the receipt. I went into the store to return the camera and after like 30 days you have to send it back to Casio (which of course is a pain). So I needed to get a reprint of the receipt, fill out some paperwork online, and pay for postage to have the camera returned. They did a good job with turning it around and getting it back to me with without charge. Now, two weeks later it has broken again. I've bought canon products in the past and have never had this problem. Guess you pay for what you get.

In my opinion this is the best camera in this category. Before I buy any camera I review sample photos full size, which for this camera at 12mp is wall size, about 60 inches wide. I look for noise, detail and color. I have had this camera for a week and ran it through my tests and it did not disappoint. Noise in the blue sky is almost non-existent, something you would expect from an SLR. Detail in pretty good also. In daylight I just leave it in auto and it shoots awesome pictures. Indoors you could leave it in auto, but all your shots will be at 400 ISO which is starting to add noise at this level. I set it at 200 ISO indoors for near perfect noise free pictures.
I have tried some of the Best Shot settings and the landscape scenic setting is terrible, don't even bother using it because it messes up the saturation. The composite setting is cool that it pictures the subject in motion but there is not much use for it. I am yet to try all of the Best Shot settings, there is a lot of them.
Make-up function works perfectly, maybe too good. It has 12 levels of make-up. Makes my 79 year old mother look like she is 19. I would rather take pictures of the way things really are, but this is definitely a cool feature.
Low light performance seems really good, it is able to focus and take good shots.
HD video is really nice, though 24 fps is a bit choppy. You will need to learn how to take video at 24 fps. Basically you need to keep still and do not change direction too fast. The 640x480 is smoother at 30 fps and it looks pretty good also if there is enough light. One surprise for me is that it is able to zoom during video. It is not optical zoom during video it is digital zoom but it performs like optical zoom. There is no deterioration when in full zoom, and the manual states this also. This is great to be able to zoom in video. You can consider this optical video zoom since it performs the same as. The colors of the video are not as good as broadcast HDTV, but it seems almost as sharp in good lighting.
There is no photo editing software included with this camera, which is a shock to me since all my last cameras were Fujifilms and they include a great post processing software. I searched for a replacement software and found Photoscape, it is free and even better than Finepix software. At full resolution this Casio comes out with 5-6.8 mb picture file size. Well with the photoscape I can save in 70% jpg compression that brings down the file size to 1.1 mb, saves a lot of memory. I compared the difference and I cannot see any difference between the 1.1 mb picture and the 6.5 mb picture, and I am viewing them full size.
I normally keep this camera at 3:2 and Normal, again I don't see Fine as being any improvement over Normal. 3:2 is wider than normal to look better on tv's but still can be printed on a 4x6. The 16:9 seems too wide and then when you go to print them, stores like Walgreens may have a problem cropping part of the picture out of it.
I have always had Fujifilms, but Casio just seems to come out with things first and I just couldn't wait for Fujifilm to come out with a comparable camera. I am glad I made the move to Casio and I think I will stick with Casio for all my future cameras.
There is no camera this small with all these features and that takes such awesome pictures.

I am very impressed with the Casio EX-S12. The small size is amazing. It's no bigger then a credit card and about a half inch thick in width. It easily fits into your pants pocket, purse and tote bag with no problem. It's a great camera to keep on hand at all times because you just never know when you want to capture a special moment.
The camera features A LOT of features and modes. So many that I don't even know if I will ever use them all.
I like that the battery is rechargable but I would have liked to have a regular battery option too for when the battery charge runs out and you still have more pictures to take.
The quality of the images are amazing. It did a great job in low light with some "action" shots I took at a wedding recently.
This is a great camera in my opinion. It might now have all the "bells and whistles" like some other cameras but for regular every day use this camera is ideal.

I had the S10 that I was very happy with but gave to a friend. I was looking for another S10 but the S12 was the same price. It is a nice camera BUT slow to start up, about 3-4 seconds. Also after taking photo another 3-4 secs......busy please wait!!! I hate the fact that Casio have added a proprietary USB socket (as with the S10) why they done this is beyond me! The best thing about it is the size and ease of use. The paint came off the S10 easily so I went with the silver on the S12. I am thinking of sending it back to Casio for a replacement!

I gave my wife the camera as a gift to replace her old one. I could not believe all of the features the camera detailed. My wife is very satisfied with the camera and found it simple to operate. I would not be hesitant to recommend this camera to my friends.
