The slim camera packs a 3X optical zoom lens (36-108mm focal length, 35mm equivalent), and a 1/2.3 inch CCD imaging sensor. Its 3x zoom lens adds costs but also great versatility. It also has a 4x digital zoom. The camera software automatically minimizes camera shake to deliver a clearer picture. This feature reduces blur caused by camera shake or subject movement.

Exilim EX-S10A digital camera has "Auto Shutter" functions where the camera helps taking the best possible picture. The camera waits until there is no more camera shake or the subject has stopped moving before it takes the picture. Auto Shutter can also be used to take a sharp picture while panning. Another use is "smile detection" in portraits. Here the camera can actually recognize a smile and then shoot the picture automatically. The camera uses advanced recognition algorithms to identify and properly expose up to ten faces in a picture.

End result of the Exilim EX-S10A digital camera is a pleasing camera, with a nice heft and a stylish look. It has effective features. There are few limitations that couldn't be over-looked overcome by its fine fashionable styling.
