January 18 | Posted by Andri Kurniawan | Digital Camera, New Gadgets
The EX-S5 is a pretty basic point-and-shoot camera, while the EX-S12 has some of the bells and whistles found in the Z-series models above. Here are the details on both of these:
Exilim EX-S5
- 10.1 Megapixel CCD
- F3.1-5.6, 3X optical zoom lens, equivalent to 35.5 – 106.5 mm
- Ultra-thin body comes in SIX colors: blue, black, gold, pink, purple, and silver
- 2.7″ LCD display with 114,960 pixels
- Point-and-shoot opreation, with 23 scene modes
- From the you-can’t-make-this-stuff-up file:
- “As well as the rectangular focusing frame usually displayed on the LCD monitor, users can choose designs such as a heart or a butterfly for the frame design. When the camera is correctly focused, a beautiful heart can be displayed, and when correct focus is not achieved the heart pattern breaks up. This makes it easy to ensure correct focus, and it is fun, too.”
