Cameras generally sit firmly on the fence between the desolate, brown lawn of thoughtlessness and the fertile, well-kept garden of thoughtfulness. However, by going a few extra miles and leaving some clues for the coming Valentine’s date, you can transform the 10MP special-moment-recording device into a special moment itself and, as a result, gain entrance into the Shangri-La of thoughtfulness.

With quick and easy record and upload features, adding photos to a blog, sharing a clip over email and even exporting to a multimedia player are painfully easy, which is definetely a good thing. Nothing undermines Valentine's Day quite like a complex, difficult to use gift.

Though video clues of your Valentine’s date taken on the Flip Mino might be a safer route, the everyday functionality of the Casio Exlim makes it an excellent gift, Valentine’s Day or not.

From user and expert reviews to a side-by-side comparison of all the best in digital cameras, we’ve got the facts you need to make the right purchase. Read the full review of the Casio Exilim EX-S10 and see how it rates next to other compact digital cameras.
