| Casio Exilim EX-FC100 |
| Full review » Scoreboard » Features » Gallery » |
 Migrating high-speed technology into an ultra-portable chassis seemed like the next logical step for Casio. The Casio Exilim EX-FC100 rocks most of the Exilim EX-FH20's features in its pint-sized camera body and even flaunts a 5x optical zoom range. We had a blast with the Exilim EX-FC100, thanks mostly to the cavalcade of high-speed shooting options and quirky Best Shot modes. However, most of them functioned on a mediocre level and at the end we were left with the same gimmicky feeling as with the Exilim EX-FH20. We experienced the best results in the 30fps high-speed shooting mode, but 1,000fps high-speed video yielded the same performance and Trident gum-sized resolution as the Exilim EX-FH20. Image quality was hit or miss across the board, and we discovered some crucial flaws that held the Exilim EX-FC100 hostage in the consumer realm. If lots of innovate/gimmicky features are enticing to you, then the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 is right up your alley. Release: March 2009. Price: $350.
Pros: Packed with features. Solid design. Improved color and detail in some shooting environments.
Cons: Inconsistent image quality. Most high-speed features are gimmicky. Poor LCD quality.

| Casio Exilim EX-FH20 |
| Full review » Scoreboard » Features » Gallery » |
 Casio has once again delivered high-speed imaging to the masses, this time at nearly half the price. What will the price break cost shooters in terms of features and quality? For starters, the Casio Exilim EX-FH20 has been downgraded to a smaller imager and MJPEG video recording, rather than the first generation EX-F1's H.264 recording capability. You'll also notice fewer external controls and smaller, more compact architecture. The Casio Exilim EX-FH20 flaunts an obscenely large 20x optical zoom lens, but the most enticing aspects of the EX-FH20 are found in the Best Shot and High-Speed shooting modes. Sequential action, 40fps bursts, a pre-recording buffer and a handful of other exhilarating shooting modes will provide enough playtime to last several months. Does the image quality of the EX-FH20 rise to the occasion? Not really, but some of the results are so fun and unique, that may be beside the point. Release: October 2008. Price: $600.
Pros: Unique high-speed feature. Multi-motion Image mode. Solid, comfortable design and construction. Decent array of manual controls.
Cons: Smaller imager offers less image quality. Certain high-speed modes are finicky. High-speed video resolutions are too small.

| Casio Exilim EX-Z9 |
| Full review » Scoreboard » Features » Gallery » |
 If you're looking for your first digital camera and don't want to break the bank, the Casio Exilim EX-Z9 could be the ticket. However, this is a budget camera and it's apparent from all angles on this model. It has a wonky zoom toggle design, a low resolution LCD screen, and it also takes beautiful images... but only in optimally lit shooting environments. On the bright side, this camera functions well in auto mode and the Exilim EX-Z9 offers a plethora of BS (Best Shot) Scene Modes that will accommodate many types of shooting situations. For the average tourist, grandparent, or digital camera-phobe, the Casio Exilim EX-Z9 should be enough to make the grade. However, most shooters will most likely need more. Release: October 2008. Price: $100.
Pros: Compact, lightweight. Good auto mode. Best Shot modes worked well, helped out.
Cons: Image quality is subpar. Interface is a tad awkward. Camera is at the bottom of the barrel in terms of features.

| Casio Exilim EX-Z300 |
| Full review » Scoreboard » Features » Gallery » |
 The Casio Exilim EX-Z300 is stuck right in the middle of the extensive Exilim family, sporting an average 1/2.3" sensor and a 4x optical zoom, which is slightly generous considering the camera's compact size. We wanted more from the interface and less BS, er, Best Shot modes. There are 38 total on this camera, which is great until you realize most of them utilize the same settings. Low light was an issue with the Exilim EX-Z300, and most images were attacked by some form of noise, fringing or blowing out. The big old LCD screen is nice to have, but not in the sun. We found the Exilim EX-Z300 to be just another average compact, although the Multi-Motion Image BS mode is oodles of fun if you have a tripod and a photographer with a very steady hand. Release: October 2008. Price: $300.
Pros: Tons of beginner-friendly Best Shot presets. Ample LCD screen. Compact design.
Cons: Interface could use a pumping up. All settings are reset after powering off and back on. Weak low light performance.

| Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1 |
| Full review » Scoreboard » Features » Gallery » |
 There's simply nothing else like the Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1. No other prosumer camera has faster shutter-speeds, and no other prosumer camcorder has anything close to its ultra-high frame-rates. The camera's Achilles heel, though, is that its still-image quality is competitive only with point-and-shoots, and its slo-mo videos are so tiny and compressed they're barely YouTube quality. The Casio EX-F1 is an incredible, endlessly fun device, and it feels like an important first in digital-imaging. Still, unless you really need to shoot at 1,200 fps for a very specific purpose and you don't care about image quality, the Casio EX-F1 is ultimately a tough sell. That said, we eagerly await the Casio Exilim Pro EX-F2. Release: April 2008. Price: $1000.
Pros: Insane shutter speeds. Unheard-of slo-mo capabilities. Innovative bracketing and buffered shooting modes.
Cons: Still-image quality is disappointing. Slo-mo video quality is detrimental. Lacks a continuously variable zoom.
