Exilim is a brand of digital cameras introduced in 2002 by Casio.
The Exilim Card series was notably thinner than other small digital cameras at the time of its introduction, typically 10–15 millimetres thick compared to other manufacturers' comparable models that were 25–35 millimeters thick. This sparked competition to make slimmer compact digital cameras, with other manufacturers bringing out lines of comparably thin cameras from 2004.
Interestingly, many Exilim models also followed the golden ratio in their design. This mathematical proportion, often found in nature and art, was subtly incorporated into the cameras' dimensions, giving them a visually pleasing and balanced appearance.
On April 24, 2018, Casio ceased the production of its digital cameras, including the Exilim brand following the loss of some 500 million yen for the fiscal year that ended in March 2017.[2]
