Casio Introduces World's Slimmest 10MP Camera

This week Casio is rolling out its EX-S10 digital camera, which it claims to be the world's thinnest with 10 megapixels of resolution.

At 15mm thick, it is, indeed, awfully svelte. On paper, the specs range from good to impressive, too: 2.7-inch LCD; 3X optical zoom; sensitivity up to ISO 1600; weighs only four ounces without the battery; available in four colors; and priced at just $250.

A lone sore spot: No image stabilization. I don't know about you, but I've come to rely on image stabilization to rectify my shaky-cam shots and turn blurry, running children into crisp action shots.

The cameras look good, but the proof will be in testing how well it performs at taking actual pictures. (It's impossible to judge based on an LCD preview, of course.) Stay tuned for hands-on coverage after CES wraps!

    When will paper thin or thinner cameras be available?

    Christopher, hate to rain on your parade, but image stabilization does nothing for a moving subject like kids. Only a better lens and faster shutter can fix that. Yes, it helps a wobbly hand a bit but there is no effect whatsoever of "stabilizing the subject". Lets not spread erroneous technical info.

    No thanks. My 5MP Exilim lasted until the warranty ran out before having to throw it away. The lens just quit extending and the camera shop said it would cost more to fix than it cost.
