Some highlights of the EX-S600 include an anti-shake feature, gorgeous movie recording in MPEG4, and extended battery life that lets you get great shots without the hassle of having to recharge the battery. With a $350 price tag, this camera isn’t in everyone’s budget, but it won’t make you take out a second mortgage either. The EX-S600 has a few problems and issues that some may find unappealing, but you can make that decision for yourself as we review this slim and sleek offering from Casio."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/20060410_1355281.gif" /> <br /><br />Why, why, why do manufacturers keep using proprietary connectors for their equipment? What makes them think this is a good idea? Do they think they're going to make a killing selling proprietary docks? Please. :roll: The only thing they're going to do is make us buy a different camera. Designtechnica gives it a 7 overall, but since Casio decided to go the proprietary route and make it so you couldn't transfer the pictures or even charge the camera without the cradle, I would never recommend this camera to someone else. Not when there are so many other options out there that use the same cable as everything else they already own...
