Casio Review & Giveaway

CLOSED!!!!

Well here we are the Event is coming to an end. I wanted to end the way we began with a BANG & since every expecting/new/old parent needs something to record all those firsts, to keep the memories alive, something to CAPTURE the moment, to make the memories last. That's right everyone needs a DIGITAL CAMERA !



Because Casio knows that everyone needs a quality digital camera they so kindly sent us the Exilim S5 camera to review as well as offer one as a giveaway to one of you!

The Casio Exilim S5 digital camera is super sleek at only 3.8" wide, 2.2" tall & a depth of only .7" it can fit easily into your pocket AND it won't weigh you down since its only 3.5 ounces!

Product Features
10.1 megapixel resolution
3x optical zoom; 2.7-inch widescreen LCD
State-of-the-art Exilim Engine 4.0; Dynamic Photo function
HD Movie function
Capture images to SD/SDHC memory cards (not included)

YOUTUBE CAPTURE MODE
Just by pressing the movie button, widescreen movies can be recorded with an aspect ratio of 16:9. The camera also offers YouTube Capture Mode, which records and saves movies at the ideal settings for uploading to YouTube.

FOCUS FRAMES
As well as the rectangular focusing frame usually displayed on the LCD monitor, you 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.

BEST SHOT
Program the camera automatically for particular subject, scene, or lighting conditions
The High-Speed Exilim Series has up to 27 Best Shot Modes including two unique modes that activate the shutter when the subject enters or leaves the frame. If you want to capture an image of a hummingbird in this mode, you can focus on the flower. Then, when the hummingbird enters the frame, the shutter will fire automatically. Having up to 60 frames to choose from, you will have the exact image you want.

It also come in 5 different colors. Silver, Black, Blue, Purple, & Pink!


I am in love with this camera, the images we have been taking are clear, I love how light it is, the face detection on it is super cool, the LCD screen is really big for us blind people is awesome, & it will be really nice to have when Dot is born! I look forward to capturing of all Dots firsts with this camera!

The Casio Exilim S5 camera retails for $129

Oh such a nice camera. Well one moment I would have liked to capture (and tried to!! ERGH) Was the priceless look on my 7yo's face when she opened her birthday present from her Nana, my old junky on it's last leg camera took the picture but didn't save it. I'm so bummed. :-(

I wish I would've captured Christmas this year. My camera took a crap on us and we got 3 pictures total. I think my dad might have had some, but I am so bummed I didn't get to take pictures of the girls on their 1st Christmas together because of my stupid camera dying.

What an awesome camera! I wish that I would have been able to have my mom take pictures of the birth of my son. I had a c-section and the nurse told me no photography. The doctoe later told me that she wouldnt have minded especially since DH was deployed and I wanted to share it with him.

Oh wow I would so love a little camera like that to keep in my diaper bag. I have gotten so terrible about carrying my camera lately because it is sort of big. The most recent memory I wish I had gotten on "film" was a few weeks ago when Big Brother got his first chance at being goalie for his team. I was so mad that I did not get a picture of that. :(

Wonderful giveaway! There are lots of moments that have passed me by because I didn't have my camera with me. One in particular is the day my husband got home from Iraq...for the third time...I was so busy worrying about how I looked, getting there on time, etc. that I forgot our camera and thus did not capture his coming-home moment. He didn't mind, but I sure did!

The moment I wish I had captured actually happened moments I "lost" my camera. It was pretty much my daughters first real day at the beach and of course I had the camera in my pocket...a big wave came...and it (apparently was her or the camera...I chose her. I have a backup but it needs to be retired...and I need a camera to capture moments like this and for my blog of course!
