Casio Exilim EX-H10 Digital Camera - 10x Zoom In Your Pocket

Casio just announced a new compact superzoom addition to their line of compact Exilim digital cameras. The 12.1-megapixel Casio Exilim Hi-Zoom EX-H10 digital camera has an ultra-wide10x optical zoom lens (24-240mm - 35mm equivalent), a 3-inch LCD, and an estimated 1000 shots per battery charge - very impressive for a camera that will actually fit in your pocket!



It’s been a while since I used a Casio Exilim pocket camera. But I’ve always been impressed with their performance. Having that kind of performance in a pocket-sized camera with a 24-240mm zoom lens would make me very happy. The obvious comparison here is Panasonic’s Lumix ZS3 / TZ7, which has a 12x zoom lens in a pocket-sized body. At 4x2.5x0.96 inches, the Casio is 0.15 inches taller than the ZS3, but one-third of an inch thinner. At $299, the Casio EX-H10 is also $100 cheaper than the Panasonic. My point: the new Casio Exilim EX-H10 is a lot of pocket-sized camera for the money.

The new Exilim EX-H10 also has a 720p HD video mode, a new Landscape mode with ‘Vivid Landscape’ and ‘Mist Removal’ options, a Makeup mode that smoothes and adjusts for best skin tones, and a new Night Scene mode, which detects and analyzes low light scenes and automatically adjusts for best results. The new camera also includes Casio’s Dynamic Photo feature, which allows the photographer to combine multiple images into a moving, Motion JPEG (MPEG) right in the camera.

The Casio Exilim EX-H10 will be available in the middle of July with a suggested retail price (MSRP) of $299.99.
