Best small digital camera 2012, the Casio Exilim Camera

When I was making these pictures I thought it was too dark to continue. Turns out I was wrong. Look at this: it looks great, without any photoshopping on my part. Just the regular 'easy mode' settings on a dark indoors day. (and yes, it was Christmas - these two don't dress up for that).

The lighting is mostly the flash off the camera. You can see: perfectly light enough.

I had quite a rough time with the settings of this camera, till I made my big discovery: you can set the settings to 'easy mode'.

Once you've put the settings on 'easy mode' the camera will figure everything out for you. It will figure out whether there's a person in the picture, whether to use flash etc.

Perfect for taking lots of pictures quickly. Of course if you are into making pictures with the precisely right settings, you will want to choose your settings yourself. But for me this is quite good enough.

The great thing about 'easy mode' is that it really is easy

The great thing about using a memory card is that you can take as many pictures as you want and decide later - sitting at your pc for instance - which you want to keep or print and which you can safely throw out.

We've had a very cold winter in The Netherlands this year. To show you just how easy it is to take a great picture: these pictures were taken outside, on that cold day, with just the same settings as the indoor picture above.

The only thing I added to the picture is the framing, the eye for the great light and a steady hand while standing on skates on the ice (I did have to discard one picture because it had moved).



This is possibly my favorite picture of the set I took that day. It captures the precise atmosphere: the dark color of the ice, the wide view and the white trees.



Compared to the previous picture, this one is better at capturing just how great the day was, how great the light was.

This is unique: Change the settings to eBay Best Shot mode and you will be taking pictures that are automatically just the right size for posting on eBay.

Just what you want if you are cleaning out the garage.
