Casio has produced many slim digicams and become the trend for its Exilim series. The company's latest EX-S770 carries on the tradition, but not before increasing the resolution to 7 megapixels and adding a new data transport feature.
Design of the Casio Exilim EX-S770 Digital Camera
For a camera this thin, it's surprising the Exilim EX-S770 feels so solid in our hands. You get the standard fare of camera controls on the unit including Best Shot which refers to the various scene modes available and a Data button for the new data transport feature.
The shooter has its drawbacks, unfortunately. The buttons on the top edge of the camera are relatively flushed with the surface, so users with larger digits might fumble with the keys in the dark. The same goes for the dedicated movie record button on the top right edge of the unit.
A larger LCD might not necessarily be a good thing, too. Yes, you get more real estate on the panel and it's a joy sharing pictures on the camera. But the same 2.8-inch monitor eats up a considerable amount of space for the main camera controls, which are cramped to the right of the unit.
It could be a design flaw, but if you're using a miniSD card with an adapter on this Exilim, don't bother taking any pictures because the camera will automatically push the lock mechanism on the media into position when you slot the card in.
