Casio EX-FH20 Review

The EX-FH20's main perk is its unusual burst mode, which can capture 40 photos in a second.

Casio Exilim EX-FH20

The Casio Exilim EX-FH20 megazoom digital camera looks and feels like a small, entry-level SLR, with its oversize 20X-optical-zoom lens, pop-up fill flash, and big, beefy right-handed grip. But the camera is as easy to use as a point-and-shoot--and a...

Great high-speed capture modes ; Very good image quality

No audio or zoom in high-speed video mode ; Awkward use of electronic viewfinder for settings

With its 20X zoom and high-speed capture mode, Casio's Exilim EX-FH20 is built to handle action shots, especially when you can't get close to your subjects.

Casio Exilim EX-FH20 review

The Casio Exilim EX-FH20, like most all megazooms, is basically a puffed-up point-and-shoot camera. However, it's what Casio puffed it up with that sets it apart: the ability to shoot at 40 frames per second and 1,000fps video capture. In fact, these...

High-speed features work as promised; comfortable body design; lots of features for experimentation.

Occasionally annoying to use; mediocre photos for the money; eats batteries, storage.

Equal parts fun and frustrating, the Casio Exilim EX-FH20 is an adequate megazoom camera with a couple of truly novel features.

Casio Exilim EX-FH20

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...

Casio EXILIM EX-FH20 review

If there is one corporation that can be considered a pioneer of the digital camera, it is Casio. The company is famous worldwide and yes, still active in the field of watches and calculators. More than 10 years ago, the first Casio camera was launched...

With the EXILIM EX-FH20, Casio is showing that they are still able to be innovative. Launching the Hi-Speed function for the consumer market, even if it is somewhat restricted in its resolution at really high speeds, is a brilliant move. A move we...

Casio EXILIM Pro EX-FH20 Review

For starters the EX-FH20 boasts a large and firm, moulded handgrip, that, as with the Canon SX10 IS, stores the four alkaline AA batteries that power the camera in its base. Though the mostly-plastic camera feels lighter at 483g than both Canon and...

With its curved slopes and matt black finish recalling a baby DSLR, from the front Casio's EX-FH20 looks not only attractive but, for the consumer electronics brand, unusually sophisticated too. It is also to be commended for including less...

Casio HIGH SPEED EXILIM EX-FH20 Digital Camera - Hands-On Preview - The Imaging Resource!

The FH20 has a rather more svelte body than that of the F1, taking just a little off the width and height, and trimming the length of the lens by almost two inches. The FH20 still retains the SLR-like styling of its predecessor, but is now rather more...

Amazing high-speed continuous shooting, 40 frames at up to 40 frames/second at 7 megapixels, 8 megapixels at lower frame rates ; Even more amazing high-speed movie recording ; as high as 1,000 frames/second at tiny resolution, 210 frames/second at...

Print this Page

The CMOS image sensor in the Casio FH20 has sadly been simultaneously pared down from the original 1/1.8"-type in the F1, to a significantly smaller 1/2.3" - a change that will have proven necessary to match the smaller image circle of the new lens....

Casio Exilim EX-FH20 Review

The FH20 definitely has some tricks up its sleeve, though. Like the ability to shoot at up to 40 frames/second (at 7 Megapixel), with a "pre-recording" function that ensures that you don't miss that perfect shot. Or how about recording video clips at...

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 see...

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 time...

I like cameras that use AA batteries, as you can buy them anywhere in the world, unlike the costly proprietary batteries used by some of the competition

Read Casio EXILIM High-Speed EX-FH20 Digital Camera

The Casio EX-FH20 is an exciting megazoom camera with high speed capabilities and can currently be found at a considerable discount from MSRP. Today we are going to take a look at what else the EX-FH20 brings to the table.

40fps continuous shooting with pre-recording ; High-speed video recording capabilities ; 720p video recording with proper lighting ; construction and feel

Still photo performance ; Slow AF ; tiny high-speed video resolution

This camera packs some big high speed features, and is well constructed. However, the actual functions and bonuses included with this camera leave a little to be desired. I would recommend anyone shopping for a camera in this range to look for a...
