| Conclusion: |
|
| 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. |
