Product Description
How fast is really fast? The EXILIM Card EX-S100 has a shutter speed of 0.01 second after successful focusing. Which means there is little that is fast enough to escape you!Changing between the normal focus and the macro range is really fast - with the Auto Macro function. The macro region, i.e. the close-up region of the EX-S100, comprises distances between 17cm and 50cm. Before each photo, the camera measures the distance to the motif and automatically sets the right focal range. Every picture is thus crystal-clear, even close up to important details.With the development of the world's first ceramic lens CASIO makes digital photography more compact than ever before. The special advantages of the ceramic material: high stability, high coefficient of refraction and the property that it can be manufactured and installed in a size much smaller than that of glass. Only in this way, for example, is it possible to integrate a 2.8x Zoom in the extremely flat EXILIM Card EX-S100.BESTSHOT functions are practically pre-settings for different motifs and lighting conditions. The EXILIM Card EX-S100 offers 23 BESTSHOT modes. You can also create, store and call up your own modes with BESTSHOT at any time. New: 2 integrated Business Shot programs for distortion-free reproduction of business cards and projection charts.For flash photos, the background often remains too dark and the motif is not fully illuminated. The solution: Flash Assist. With this function, the brightness of the motif is automatically enhanced.

My a quick review of this greal little jewel.......2005-08-18
I have a big and bulky Nikon Coolpix 8700 camera but I needed something handy for my sightseeing trip to Japan. After looking over about a dozen smaller cameras, I picked this one. I haven't regretted it my decision!
First, the looks of it: It is the most awesome hi-tech looking camera I've ever seen! And it feels sturdy (all metal case). Not cheap like some plastic body cameras. It feels "expensive"!
I've had people compliment me on the camera and ask about it.
Next: it is so tiny! And I really didn't need 8MP for snapshots. The 3MP of this camera has is quite enough for snapshots. The camera has an internal memory but you'll really need a memory card (I bought 512Mb card). I also bought a leather carrying case which can be strapped to a belt. That is how I was carrying it most of the time. Camera is also small enough to be stuffed into a shirt pocket.
The LCD screen is very big and easy to see in all conditions except in direct sunlight shining from the back.
Also, the tiny LiIon battery has an incredible life. I just put it in the charging cradle every night and took pictures all day. Never ran out of power.
While on the cradle, it can be hooked up to your computer via a USB bus. I don't even use any of the software which came with the camera. My PC sees the camera as a USB storage device. I just manually copy the images wherever I want and then edit them using my favorite Image Editing software,
It has zillion of features (most of which I'll probably never use). But I did play around with it to see what can be done.
With a little tripod and some setting changes, you can also take some great night shots (using the timer release of course). When used in this mode, the shutter's open time is longer than normal and it processes the picture differently, making it quite a bit less grainy than when taking night shots using standard shooting modes.
I also love the quick power up, quick focus and no shutter lag!
And the way all the controls are laid out is very intuitive and easy to learn.
There are many other features and other items already covered by other reviewers - so I won't go into them.
Things I wish the camera did better:
LCD display in low light conditions is quite dark (it doesn't "brighten" the display like some other cameras do).
Since it is so tiny, it has a very weak flash. It doesn't do well in dimly lit rooms if the subjects are not right close to the camera. But, this is not surprising considering the size of this camera (no room for a big capacitor) and the flash tube itself is miniscule. Also, part of the problem here is that the largest aperture of the tiny lens is F4. Pictures taken in the dark can also be a bit grainy. But in daylight this camera works great.
The lack of full printed manual is also a negative. Nice full manual is included on the CD (in pdf format) but you only get a skimpy printed manual which doesn't cover any of those more advanced features. I already know the basics. And while some people can deal with manuals viewed on the computer screen, I really need a paper manual. So, I printed it and had it bound. It helped me quite a bit to gain the insight into all the features.
So far I've taken hundreds of pictures (and some movies) with it and I am extremely happy with this tiny CASIO! No mechanical problems either. As people in New England say: Wick'd awesome!
And CASIO has been making digital cameras for a very long time. In the mid 90s I've bought a QV-100 (which I still have, and it still works). That was a first digital camera made which used LCD screen and had a tiltable lens! It had a mind-blowing VGA (640x480) resolution! :-) And it downloaded pictures via a serial port. Now, CASIO is still making great, leading-edge products.
micro magic.......2005-07-15
My first digital camera and i'm rather pleased with myself. After reading amazon usa reviews of the ex100 i picked up a "bundle" that included the ex case and a 512 meg memory card. The camera itself is tiny, very well built and simplicity itself to operate. It will suit "snappers" rather than diehard camera junkies, such is the limitation of 3.2 megapixels. Overall at its current discounted price its a real no brainer of a bargain.
just back from trip WOW.......2005-07-07
I took this on a 2 week trip to Italy.....I took 1158 pic's and several movies, I was NOT disappointed in any way...the movie feature worked well, the avi's had a very good picture with no scramble pixilation issues, sound was very good as well... for it's size, a great feature..the pics are fantastic, I took several sepia and black and white shots as well.......
My friend had a Casio 5.0 mega and the differences, once we had several photos delivered from Kodak were basically, so difficult to see that I am glad I paid less and bought this one...he was disappointed he didn't get better quality for HIS money...why pay way more for what amounts to almost unseen incremental advantage?
On another note, I use photoshop extensively and cropped and zoomed many shots, unles you are trying to zoom into something very far away, you will still have a great shot, I took many architecural shots around Monuments in Rome and zoomed many of them, from 100 feet or so you are fine with this camera...you can still pull the details that interest you...
The one draw back mentioned by others, which is a draw back for all LCD view cameras is; in bright light it may difficult to see through the viewer, but it takes almost direct light coming from behind to create this hazard, but as I said they all suffer that shortcoming.
Other blurbs...its very small but easily manipulated..it fit into a zippered shirt pocket and its almost like you're not carrying a thing....the menu is intuitive....the battery re-charges within and hour......you can bring the cradle which comes with the camera, (which is compact as well) buy a $10.00 voltage converter and recharge in countries with different voltage outlets...
I had zero issues with it...great camera especially for this price....I won't have to upgrade for quite a while.... :-)
Great things come in small packages.......2005-06-30
PROS:
-big screen
-if set to high sharpness it takes amazing pictures
-very small
-simple to use
-fast start up
-lightweight
-attractive design
-comes with a dock
-movies go as long as there's free space on the memory card
-movies with sound
-many sceen settings
CONS:
-the screen could be better but it's still pretty good quality
-no carrying case
-average picture quality...which is now a problem for me because i'm getting more into photography...
This camera is definately worth the $220 that I spent. (walmart.com)
An Amazing Camera.......2005-06-29
Wow! Casio really did a great job in designing this camera. It's very small; when I got it out of the box I was a bit shocked at its size. It feels solid in my hand. The on/off button is nice and discreet; a cinch to turn on, but it wont turn on inside your pocket, thats for sure. The rechargable battery is just icing on the cake; it fully charges in less than two hours!
This is a camera for a person who wants great quality pictures, but doesn't want to spend all their money on a 5 megapixel, 2.5 inch screen monster. I turn the size to 1 megapixel size anyway so the pictures don't take up a ton of space on my hard drive. 3.2 megapixels is more than enough. Highly recommended for a first time camera buyer.

Great.......2007-03-18
I bought this hard drive in Aug '04. It is now Mar '07 and still using it. It's been a great help in backing up my hard drivce and storing movies and bigger sized files. I love it. I also have a 120gb Maxtor which I love as well.
Maxtor One-Touch Died After 18 Months.......2006-07-14
My 300 GB external hard drive crashed after 18 months.
When I called Maxtor.com, I found out that they had been bought by Seagate. Furthermore, I was out of warranty and would have to use a data retrieval company if I wanted to try and rescue my data (minimum $1,000).
Their warranty is to replace the drive...meaning your data is lost.
BUYER BEWARE!.......2006-06-06
I have owned a Maxtor One Touch 160gb Hard Drive Firewire/USB drive for over a year. What a piece of crap, every couple weeks it kept crashing on me of course losing all my data. Mator told me to hook it up by USB not Firewire, then told me to buy a New USB Hub, . Between switching cables and everything else it still crashes. So Buyer Beware, buy a nice Western Digital External Hard Drive, I havent had a Western Digital fail on me yet, I'm running 2.
Maxtor One Touch 300Gb external drive.......2006-01-01
I've had this device for about a month. Works fine. No overheating issues and does what it is supposed to. My computer complained bitterly like it was a hostile takeover on initial installation but finally accepted it after cancelling quite few warning signs. Runs quietly and is even fairly quiet during back-up mode (hint: don't run the diagnostic during back-ups as it makes an awful noise!). Not cheap, but it's a lot of space to fill, so I think reasonable value for the money.
Some minor quibbles (1) the two tone gray color (as if I don't have enough computer equipment that is two tone gray already) (2) the little round stick-on plastic feet that are supplied to attach when laying the drive flat are truly shocking and cheap looking (go with the vertical stand - even though it's also gray!).
Overall, I'm happy with the device and would recommend it. If you're going to buy one don't under estimate your requirements if you wish to back-up your whole computer rather than just files. I wouldn't get anything less than 200Gb for standard use and the larger drives (250-300) are also useful for placing large applications on if you're short on space with your PC. You can then access them via the Start>Programs Menu and there is no appreciable loss in access time via the USB2.
Don't get lulled into a false sense of security with Maxtor drives.......2005-09-23
I have a 160GB Maxtor one-touch firewire drive which was working perfectly but has just suddenly died after 14 months. Maxtor's response is that there is nothing they can do.
I also have a newer 300GB Maxtor One-touch II usb/firewire drive on another machine. The software drivers for this in Windows XP have a bug which crashes my PC on a frequent basis.
The drives are very stylish but don't get lulled into a false sense of security by their sleek design and ease of use. The drives may let you down.

Amazon.com Review
The DGX300AD is the second in Yamaha's top-of-the-line Portable Grand series. This keyboard has 76 piano-size keys, 619 voices, and contains pretty much every other function available on any other Yamaha keyboard, including Yamaha Educational Suite, lots of auto-accompaniments, and a built-in sequencer and built-in floppy drive. This keyboard is tremendously easy to use, despite many complicated features. It's portable, and will keep novice and advanced musicians busy playing and creating music for a long time.
In our opinion, the sound quality from the speakers is not as good as the DGX200AD. We found the quality of the speakers on the DGX300AD on the weaker side, with the treble frequencies not as strong as the lower frequencies. The actual keys on the DGX300AD are more like piano keys than on lower-end keyboards. While still far off from feeling like real piano keys (there is not much "weight" or resistance to them at all), the keys are nice to the touch.
If having a built-in floppy drive is not as important to you, we would recommend going for the DGX200AD. It also has 76 keys, but they are not the piano-sized keys. If you are interested in a full-size keyboard (88 keys), you may want to look at the DGX500AD. Overall, the DGX300AD is a full-featured keyboard with a budget-friendly price--perfect for learning and music making. --Chris Fresolone
Pros:
- Easy to use
- 76 piano-size keys
- Maximum functionality, including a built-in sequencer and floppy drive
- Entertaining educational tools
- Easily connects with a computer or other MIDI device
- 619 voices
Cons:
- Weak sound quality from the speakers

A great piano for an even greater price!.......2004-04-12
Designed for beginners and professionals alike, the DGX-300 combines musical technicality with an outstanding price of under $500. This unit with 76 keys, has more than enough for the complex player, yet offers built-in learning programs for the beginning hobbyist. I love my DGX-300, and I love it's amazing rich piano sound. I was worried at first when I began shopping for a keyboard. I wanted something that wouldn't sound like a fake plastic paino. This machine actually senses your stress on the keys, and sounds exactly like a concert grand. It's absolutely amazing. I was also very impressed with the sound quality, as it was also amazing. The speaker reviews should not at all be a factor in the purchase of this unit. For this price, and the Yamaha name, you're not going to find an instrument as great as this.
My key is on the board.......2003-10-16
Someday I will be a master player... These keyboards are just amazing! I love to play with these! There hundrends of special options ans sounds. Beginner can learn easily to play with Yamaha keyboards because you can use teaching program and see on the blue screen, which key you are touching. There are five memory places that you can make your own songs and save them. If you are bored to play normal piano sound, you'll try other sounds for exemple harpcicord, bass, heavy quitar, gun, dog barking or helicopter tunes. There are many vital buttons: metronome(choose your own personal playing speed), touch-sensitive( you can play quiet and loud because your hands will control how hard you press the keys) and pc-portable( you can make music with computer and make your own remixes) Yamaha keyboards are a great choose to buy if you are planning to start a new hobby!
Yamaha DGX300 for Home Use.......2002-11-26
I am very pleased with the quality and layout of this board. Prior to purchasing I read less than favorable results on the sound quality. My unit sounds great through the speakers and even better through headphones or amplified. This should not be a limiting factor on your decision. The 76 keys are great, the sounds are exceptional. While there are drum tracks and every percussion sound imaginable, I would prefer to have a drum kit built in to add greater flexibility. Most of the music and sound databases are from the 40's - 60's, old time favorites, etc. Would prefer to have something with more modern appeal. You can download and upload from disk so maybe this is the go round. Too early to tell. Great unit at a great price. Highly recommended.
