If you have a need for the high-speed shooting capability that this camera provides, then it's really the only game in town. And it's available at a price that's not much higher than other high-end super-zooms. But if you dont care about the high ...

40fps shooting mode at 7MP resolution, 9.1Mp maximum resolution, 20X optical zoom, 3ďż˝ color LCD TFT display (230,400 dots), Sensor-shift image stabilization

For non-professional photographers who want to frequently take action shots, the Exilim EX-FH20 is a godsend that helps reduce what seems like guesswork.

Easy to use; very good overall image quality; good variety of high-speed video capture modes

Awkward use of the EVF for settings; flash doesn't automatically pop up; can't record audio or zoom while in high-speed video mode; jaggies become more apparent while using zoom in STD/HD movie mode

The Exilim EX-FH20 looks and feels like a small entry-level SLR, with its oversized lens and pop-up fill flash, and its big, beefy right-handed grip. But the camera works like a point-and-shoot. The mode dial has only five settings: Flash CS ...

Amazing, and unique, high speed still and movie capture ; Full complement of manual and automatic features ; Image adjustment, including white balance, available in playback ; Generally good shooting performance ; High-resolution, 3.0 inch LCD ; ...

Images are relatively soft and image noise creeps in even at mid-ISOs ; Purple fringing is noticeable along high contrast edges ; Lens distortion at telephoto ; Image stabilization offers only slight benefit at full telephoto

At its core, the 9.1 megapixel, CMOS-sensor equipped EX-FH20 meets or exceeds the definition of an ultrazoom camera. Its 20x optical zoom lens starts at what is becoming the wide-angle norm of 26mm and extends to 520mm (35mm-equivalent). Sensor-shift ...

At first glance, the Casio Exilim EX-FH20 ($599) may look like just another super zoom camera. It has a big lens (20X), a 9 Megapixel sensor, a 3-inch LCD, manual controls, RAW image support, and all the gimmicks you'd expect on a modern digital ...

20X optical zoom lens, with great 26 - 520 mm range ; Sensor-shift image stabilization ; Stunning ultra high speed continuous shooting and movie modes ; handy precapture feature ensures that you don't miss a shot ; Large 3-inch LCD display ; easy to ...

Images are soft/fuzzy, with smudged details, even at ISO 100 ; image quality drops rapidly at ISO 200 and above ; Expensive ; Strong purple fringing at times ; Autofocus system often struggled to lock focus ; no multi-point AF feature ; Slow startup ...

One camera I really wanted to put on the above list is the Kodak EasyShare Z980. Unfortunately, battery life numbers are not available yet for that camera. In the group of cameras that remain, the Exilim EX-FH20 turns in strong numbers, coming in ...

Serious photographers usually own more than one camera. There's the high-end model you might use for nature photography, a pocket camera for quick indoor shots, and one that has some...

Cool burst mode ; high-def video recording ; light and compact

Lens could break easily ; not the best casual shots ; expensive

In March of this year, Casio released the EXILIM Pro EX-F1, the world's fastest digital camera*. The EX-F1 is capable of ultra-high speed burst shooting at 60 fps and can record high speed movies at up to 1,200 fps, helping users catch each decisive ...

We already did a post on the Casio EX-FH20 digital camera a few weeks ago, but I've had the chance to test out the camera for a few weeks and I wanted to post some additional thoughts. First of all, a refresher. The EX-FH20 is the little brother to ...

Casio's Exilim EX-FH20 is the comparatively inexpensive follow-up to the EX-F1, which the company released earlier in 2008 to much hullabaloo. Much like the F1, the FH20 shoots stills at amazingly high speed: up to 40 shots per second at a perfectly ...

First, we had trouble with the body of the camera. It felt low quality, the buttons were small, and one of the dials was overly stiff. Overall the hardware feels ordinary, with an unimpressive LCD screen and slightly unwieldy design. The menu system ...
