takes great photos

Strengths: face detection

Weakness: lock zoom

this camera is the best, it takes great photos every and each time. the only thing that i didn't like is the auto zoom, because it forces you to take bad photos..!! other than that it's the best camera ever, i love it :)

Great for sports action in good light

Strengths: Super fast continuous shooting (burst) mode and video at 210 fps, perfect for analyzing movement and reviewing strategy. Good quality single shots in decent light. Great auto white balance. Huge zoom.

Weakness: Not great picture quality over ISO 200. Uses batteries quickly. Have to access most options through menu.

I have had this camera for three weeks so I don't yet know all that this camera can do. However, I am impressed by two things:
1. Its up to 40fps burst mode, though at a slightly reduced 7 megapixels. I have seen the 2 and 3 and even 5 megapixel burst mode images of other superzooms, and this camera's images are much better.
2. The super slow motion video at 210 fps. I took this to my niece's soccer game last weekend and was very impressed by the video output of this camera. It was perfect for figuring out what went wrong or right and why.
This camera will take a little time to get used to if you are used to Canon, Fuji, Panasonic, or Olympus super zooms. The options on the control dial are different and the menu options are also different. But this camera can do some things that those cameras can't do. If I were a coach or a trainer, I would buy one of these.

Casio EXILIM Pro EX-FH20 Review

The new Casio EXILIM Pro EX-FH20 compact camera is all about raw speed, offering a continuous shooting rate of up to 40fps, and movie recording at 1000fps. In direct comparison, most other cameras in its class can shoot at up to 3 fps for stills, and 30fps for video. Admittedly there’s a drop in quality to attain such fast shooting - from 9 to 7 megapixels for stills, and down to 224×56 pixel...

Casio EXILIM EX-FH20 Review

The Casio EX-FH20 opens the dimension of time to photographic exploration to a degree never before accessible to amateurs (or to all but a precious few professionals, for that matter). For so many subjects (sports action, active children, wildlife, candid street photography, to name just a few), having a camera like the Casio FH20 that lets you pick just the right 1/40 second slice of life will...

Casio Exilim EX-FH20

THE GOOD: High-speed features work as promised; comfortable body design; lots of features for experimentation. THE BAD: Occasionally annoying to use; mediocre photos for the money; eats batteries, storage. THE BOTTOM LINE: Equal parts fun and frustrating, the Casio Exilim EX-FH20 is an adequate megazoom camera with a couple truly novel features.

DCRP Review: Casio Exilim EX-FH20

The Exilim EX-FH20 does a great job at continuous shooting and recording movies, but it lags well behind the competition in many areas, with photo quality being the most important. If you need the ultra high speed modes that the FH20 offers, then check it out. Otherwise, I think you can do better, and for a few hundred dollars less. <p>

Casio Exilim EX-FH20

The Casio Exilim EX-FH20 is a megazoom digital camera, and despite the fact that it is a glorified point-and-shoot camera it still offers features that make it stand apart from the competition. It is built with the ability to shoot 40 frames per second and 1,000 frames per second video capture. Those high-speed shooting features alone make it worthwhile, despite its inflated price tag and its...
