Pocket-lint reviews the Casio Exilim EX-H15 and writes;
“If we had the choice and money wasn’t an issue we’d go for the Canon over this Casio, but with the EX-H15 retailing for a cool £100 less, it has to be worth further investigation. “

“That broad focal range, high resolution and a decent battery life do ensure that the Casio EX-H15 should be on the list of anyone looking for an able travel companion that can return decent results with the minimum of fuss and prior knowledge. It may not be the prettiest or coolest device out there, but it’s practical and sometimes that’s all that matters.”

Steves-digicams.com reviews the Casio Exilim EX-H15 and writes;
“The Casio EX-H15 is well worth the $300US price tag. Its is an all around good camera for indoor and outdoor shooting, and has a usable high-speed shooting options for the kids sporting events. Not to mention the 10x zoom will bring Mt. Rushmore that much closer on the family vacation. Add to that some cool and fun to use art filters, the Dynamic Photo process and making some classic silent movies, and one wonders what more you could ask for?..Oh yea it will fit in a pocket to boot!”

PCW.uk reviews the Casio Exilim EX-H15 and writes;
“Photos were bright and colourful though displayed a loss of sharpness towards edge of the frame at maximum wide-angle setting. Pixel fringing was also visible on very close inspection, but both these faults are common to small cameras. “

DYNAMIC PHOTO ANIMATED e-GREETINGS
Thanks to the high-speed image processing capability of the new engine, a moving subject can be cut out of a number of images that have been shot and combined with a different still shot that forms the background. A unique digital camera image where only the main subject in the photo is moving can be created using just the camera, with no editing on a computer.
1,000 SHOT BATTERY LIFE
Casio has reduced energy consumption by improving the circuitry and operational controls and designing a higher capacity battery, enabling the user to take 1,000 shots on a single full charge. The long-life battery gives users approximately 11 consecutive hours of viewing on a single charge.
PREMIUM AUTO
Premium Auto enables the camera to automatically analyze the scene being photographed – including distinguishing night scenes, back lighting, a blue sky, green trees or a sunset – as well as sensing whether there is a face in the frame, the movement and position of the subject, and whether a tripod is being used. It simultaneously optimizes settings for exposure, ISO, sensitivity, focus location, photo blur correction, tonal range and color balance, and level of noise reduction.
10X ULTRA-WIDE ZOOM LENS (24MM)
Only Casio could find a way to pack a 10X optical zoom lens, large 3.0-inch monitor and a CCD-shift image stabilization mechanism into such a slim, compact camera body, just .96” thin, convenient for travel. With ultra-wide angle starting at 24 mm (35 mm film camera equivalent) all the way up to 10X telephoto zoom, the photographer is ready for any scene.
ART SHOT
Makes use of the image processing technology in the Exilim Engine 5.0 to create photos for scenery or human subjects that have the feel of a painting. The view in the LCD screen of the subject in front of the user can be switched between and oil painting, a crayon drawing, or a watercolor picture, allowing the user to select the preferred art style in which to photograph the scene.
INTELLIGENT COLOR
Automatic adjusting of multiple levels of white balance improves images for both human and background under night scene.

Casio EX-Z33 is a 10.1 megapixel point-and-shoot digital camera with a 3X optical zoom lens (Approx. 35.5-106.5mm equivalent to 35mm film), ISO 64-1600, face detection, Easy Mode for enhanced simplicity, youtube capture mode, and a 2.5-inch TFT color LCD 230,400 dots.The camera measures 3.75” (W) x 2.2” (H) x 0.72” (D) and weighs approx. 3.5oz.

TrustedReviews reviews the Casio Exilim EX-Z33 and writes;
“For a cheap budget compact the Casio Exilim EX-Z33 offers decent build quality, simplicity of use and surprisingly good performance, but its very poor low light focusing and disappointing image quality are serious handicaps. Better to save up a few more pounds and get something a bit more capable.”
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Steve’sDigicams reviews the Casio Exilim EX-Z33 and writes;
“For an entry-level camera, the low and mid ISO settings are very good. ISO 64 – 400 are sharp enough to show fine details, such as the stitching in the flag, while noise doesn’t become apparent until ISO 400. Although the noise at ISO 1600 really hurts the quality of the image, ISO 800 is not too bad and works for smaller prints.”
Rating: N/A
CNET reviews the Casio Exilim EX-Z33 and writes;
“The good: Good photo quality for the money; one-button video capture. The bad: Slow shooting performance; short battery life. The bottom line: As long as you and your subject aren’t in a hurry, the Casio Exilim is a respectable budget-priced ultracompact.”

Casio Exilim EX-FC100 is a 9 megapixels compact digital camera features 5x optical zoom (Approx. 37 – 185mm equivalent to 35mm film) with optical stabilizer, 30 shot-per-second high-speed burst shooting, HD Movie function, High-speed movie recording at up to 1,000 fps, ISO 100-1600, Slow Motion View and a 2.7-inch TFT color LCD (Super Clear LCD). The camera measures 3.92” (W) x 2.30” (H) x .88” (D) and weighs Approximately 5.1 oz.
[More Features & Specifications Detail]

WDC reviews the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 and writes;
“The Exilim EX-FC100 is a unique high-performance ultra-compact with HD video capability and some entertaining and potentially useful high-speed functions. The 30fps continuous mode could be useful for action photography, but the HS video is a bit of a novelty gimmick, especially on such an expensive camera.”
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
CNET reviews the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 and writes;
“Photo quality and usability continue to come second to the high-speed features, though. At most, it’s an average snapshot camera capable of capturing things the majority of other compact cameras can’t.”
DCI reviews the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 and writes;
“Compared to the other cameras, the Casio performs very well at ISO 800 and belo. However, at ISO 1600 the image noise jumps, though not quite as badly as it does on the Fujifilm F200EXR.”
Rating: N/A
CNET.uk reviews the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 and writes;
“If all you want is a decent compact with a 5x zoom, there are plenty of cheaper alternatives. But, if action photography is your bag, you’ll be amazed by what can be achieved with the Casio Exilim EX-FC100’s High-Speed Continuous Shutter technology. This is what you’re paying for in the end, so be aware of that before you buy.”
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Steve’sDigicams reviews the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 and writes;
“Image quality from our outdoor images is very good. The exposures are excellent and the color is vivid and realistic… To go along with these creative features, the EX-FC100 provides you with speedy standard shooting performance, and very good image and HD video quality.”
Rating: N/A
ePhotozine reviews the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 and writes;
“I’ve been quite impressed with the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 with its speed, features and build quality. However, to have noise coming in at ISO100 is unacceptable but it’s there on the grey tile. There’s plenty of detail still present which means that noise control hasn’t kicked in at this stage unlike ISO200 where the image is starting to smudge out.”
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
MacWorld reviews the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 and writes;
“The Exilim EX-FC100 is a very capable point-and-shoot still camera, offering all of the features you’d expect in a compact, pocket-size camera. It’s the high-speed shooting features that really set this camera apart..”
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
About.com reviews the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 and writes;
“The EX-FC100’s image quality is good in some areas, while lacking in other areas, making it about average. With normal, outdoor shooting conditions, the EX-FC100 performs very well, creating bright, sharp photos.”
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
LaptopMag reviews the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 and writes;
“photos we captured with the EX-FC100 looked lovely. It rendered colors pleasantly and accurately, and the 2-second shot-to-shot speed made it easy to get the shot we wanted, when we wanted it. Our sharp, vibrant close-ups were the best photos we took, despite the fact that you have to dig into the menus to enable Macro mode.”
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
PhotographyBlog reviews the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 and writes;
“… so you really need to ask yourself if you will make full use of all those high-speed shooting options. If the answer is yes, then the Casio EX-FC100 is clearly one of the best cameras around for capturing all of the action.”
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
TrustedReviews reviews the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 and writes;
“Noise in the EX-FC100’s images became noticeable at ISO 400, so don’t expect extraordinary results if you’re working in manual mode and low light. Imatest also indicated that the camera’s automatic white balance was good, but made colors a bit cooler than they should be;”

Casio Exilim EX-FC100 Preview Video by PCMag;
TrustedReviews reviews the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 and writes;
“Image quality at 100 ISO is pretty good, but even here images look over-processed, with artefacts around high-contrast edges, as well as blotchy colour in darker areas. From 200 ISO upward to the maximum 1600 ISO image quality gets progressively worse, with little shadow detail and major noise problems.”

Gizmodo reviews the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 and writes;
“It’s got some picture-quality flaws as a still and video camera, but its unique attributes make it something you may want to have a look at”

CrunchGear reviews the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 and writes;
“This camera carries the highest recommendation I can give (until its successor comes out), not only to regular picture takers who want a camera that does cool stuff, but also to serious photographers with DSLRs that want to have a pocket camera but don’t want to give up the ability to get that perfect shot”

InfoSync reviews the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 and writes;
“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. “

Expensive, but worth it if… by Slomo | Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I love this camera. I have a six month old puppy and this allows me to capture beautiful images and slow motion video of her as she plays with her friends. I would imagine if you have an active child or want to shoot anything with fast moving subjects you’re going to love this camera. The HD video is gorgeous as well. If these features aren’t a requirement, you can get a comparable camera for half the price.

Casio has a hit with this little camera. I took it to hawaii on vacation and the video camera in addition to the Hi Def pictures where excellent. Lot of settings on camera to choose from the Best Shot feature makes it easy. Definately a winner. Be sure and get at least a 4GB Memory Card.
Great coaching tool by RobertR| Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
I bought this camera after using the other Casio Hi-speed cameras because of the smaller size. I am pleased to say that it is doing all I wanted and expected. It took a while to learn the camera functions so I would recommend reading the manual front to back. I downloaded the pdf from the Casio website.
Pros-small size. Cons: short battery life

- Casio Exilim EX-H10 Wins EISA Awards for European Travel Compact Camera 2009-2010
Casio Exilim EX-H10 is a 12 MP compact camera features 10x optical zoom (35mm equivalent: 24-240mm), HD Movie, ISO 64-3200, and a 3.0-inch TFT color LCD (Super Clear LCD). The camera measures 4(w) x 2.5(H) x .96(D) in and weighs Approx. 5.8 oz.

CNET reviews the Casio Exilim EX-H10 and writes;
“The good: 10x zoom in a very compact body; unique shooting options; amazing battery life. The bad: Mixed shooting performance; photo quality is merely average; cramped control panel. The bottom line: The Casio Exilim EX-H10 is one of the most compact wide-angle megazoom cameras available, but its photos are less exciting.”
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
About.com reviews the Casio Exilim EX-H10 and writes;
“The EX-H10 moves through its zoom range very quickly, which is nice, although it takes a little while for the autofocus to catch up to the zoom, especially in low light.”
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
MacWorld reviews the Casio Exilim EX-H10 and writes;
“The EX-H10’s emphasis on fun is clearly geared toward a younger crowd, or to a user base looking for a “beginner’s megazoom.” Pocket-megazoom shoppers who want full manual controls should look for a different camera. If it’s entertaining in-camera features you’re looking for, the EX-H10 should be on your list.”

ComputerActive reviews the Casio Exilim EX-H10 and writes;

WDC reviews the Casio Exilim EX-H10 and writes;
“Overall the Casio EX-H10 is a solid performer – mainly due to its 24-240mm (10x optical zoom) lens and long lasting battery life. Beyond this it’s not particularly ground-breaking though and, considering the price point, isn’t necessarily going to have other competitors’ advanced products running scared”

ePhotozine reviews the Casio Exilim EX-H10 and writes;
“I like this little camera, it certainly seems to be pretty versatile and I’ve always been impressed with the set of features found on Casio compacts. Sure, it suffers from noise maybe a little bit too much and it’ll get marked down for that but other areas make up for it and if you use the flash properly, you should be able to avoid having to crank the ISO up..”
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
CNET.UK reviews the Casio Exilim EX-H10 and writes;
“The EX-H10 produces bright and colourful images, but with heavy processing that leaves coarse detail heavily sharpened and finer textures suppressed. It’s okay up to ISO 200, but, after that, the definition nosedives and, by the ISO 3,200 maximum, photos look like someone’s been breathing on the lens.”
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
PhotographyBlog reviews the Casio Exilim EX-H10 and writes;
“Image quality is satisfactory rather than outstanding, with noise and loss of detail at relatively slow ISO speeds, limited maximum shutter speed of 4 seconds and a disappointing macro mode. This isn’t the camera to buy if you’re looking for the best ever image quality, but it does produce well-exposed and accurate photos that will please the majority of its target audience.”
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
ImagingResource reviews the Casio Exilim EX-H10 and writes;
“ISO 64 shots look quite good printed at 16×20 inches, usable for wall display, though with slight softening in the far corners. 13×19-inch prints look even better. ISO 100 shots likewise look fine at 16×20 inches. Detail starts to degrade at ISO 200, making 13×19-inch prints preferable…”
