Review summary	It's ultracompact and equipped with highly versatile scene modes, but the Casio Exilim EX-S100's average image quality and limited LCD are significant flaws.	The SD400's improved image quality makes this high-performance ultracompact one of the better choices in the current Canon Digital Elph lineup.	A 3.4X optical zoom and nicely sized 2-inch LCD are the strengths of this minimalist snapshot camera.	A slim, stylish ultracompact that's as easy on the eyes as it is to use.	Quick performance and style only partially compensate for this compact shooter's mediocre image quality and limited LCD viewfinder.
