CNET have reviewed the S500. They awarded it a rating of 7.0 out of 10 or Very-Good. Here is some of their commentary-
“The Casio Exilim EX-S500 delivered a mixed performance. It started up and took a first shot in a respectable 2 seconds, but we had to wait more than 3 seconds between shots–with and without flash.
…
The Casio Exilim EX-S500’s photo quality was a mixed bag. Our test shots were generally well exposed, and the camera recorded colors accurately, although they were slightly muted at the default setting.”

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackI bought a Casio camera three years ago. I stuck it in my pocket and took it everywhere with me. I captured unbelievable scenes because it was there when I needed it. It was simple to use, download and view photographs. I thought I would be happy with it forever until I saw the EX-S500 with the Anti Shake Optical Zoom. I had to have it. I have to say that, in addition, the color orange had an influence on me. I loved the idea of a camera in such a funky color. This camera exceeds my expectations for improvements, upgrades and convenience. It has a near professional quality to it. I have had such pleasure using it and I have taken some of the most memorable photos of my family and friends. What a way to build a tangible memory book! I would recommend this for anyone who wants a camera that will travel anywhere and photograph anything.
