Comments:
Casio's 5.1-megapixel EX-S500 may be one of the thinnest zoom lens-equipped digital cameras you can buy. It's diddy at just 1.5cm front to back with its 3x zoom lens retracted - guaranteed to garner admiring and envious looks.

Review Verdict: There was also a significant amount of noise (or speckling) in solid colours. The camera's limited aperture range made it harder to capture composite shots with both the near foreground and distant background in focus
