A superslim digital camera is obviously marketed for its sheer size (or lack of it). However, it should not stop there in terms of enticing a consumer. It should be able to influence a greater number of people with its features. Size is not everything, after all. Features, components and a lot of other intagibles should also be taken into account in buying and selling products in the bumpy world of tech stuff.

The Casio Exilim EX-S880 is the next product after the Exilim series of casio started unfurling. Checking in at a so lithe 5.1 ounces, it is clearly setting the bar for a lot of superslim cameras in the market and in the development areas. Moreover, The EX-S880 features an 8-megapixel CCD sensor and Casio’s new Exilim Engine 2.0 image processor. It also maintains soem of its predecessor’s features, like the 35mm-to-114mm-equivalent, f/2.7-to f/5.2, 3x optical zoom lens. It has a quick performance that is admirable, so to speak.

However, it should be noted that it is not much of an improvement as a successor. In fact, the more it stays the same in this case. Also, the image quality is downright soft at so many levels.
