My Review 

I bought my Casio Exilim S500 in 2006. Wow! I didn't realize it was that old. I average at least 200 pictures a month, and two to three movies weekly. That camera is my hobby. It goes with my car keys. I generally use the camera on autofocus, alternating between portrait, sea and snow adjustments. It is the most reliable and versatile camera I own. The movies are sharp and crisp, and the audio is superb. I have taken movies as long as ten minutes and included at least 200 pictures on the same 2GB disk. My computer imports everything from the camera via the USB cable within seconds. If this camera ever expires, I shall buy another Casio. Bon voyage with your digital camera.
