Steve's Digicams spend some time with the compact EC-S500 camera from Casio which features a 5 megapixel sensor and 3x optical zoom. Here's a short snip from their review:

As with all EXILIM Series digital cameras, the EX-S500 features Casio's EXILIM Engine, an image processing module that makes for high quality images, quick operation, and low power consumption. The latest version of the EXILIM Engine features the Anti Shake DSP, which reduces blurring caused by shaking hands or moving subjects, while the Auto Macro and Quick Shutter functions ensure that photos are properly focused.
