Casio EX-FH100

Viewfinder

Sorry, viewfinder fans: if you want to line up a shot, it's the LCD or nothing.

LCD

The LCD screen spec is pretty ordinary, at 3 inches and 230,000-dot resolution, but it's unusually bright, clear and attractive. When shooting, there are three display options: the full info display (as shown below), complete with a live histogram, a view with just the basic settings information, and a clean screen.

The LCD specs are nothing special, but it's a good-looking display.

Flash

The flash is very small and not particularly powerful, though it is well positioned off to the side of the lens, which should minimize red-eye in portraits taken in dark environments.

The flash is small but positioned nicely.

Lens

The lens is an impressive 10x zoom in a small camera body, with a 24-240mm equivalent range and maximum aperture of f/3.2-f/5.7.

The 10x lens starts at a wide 24mm.

Jacks, Ports & Plugs

The FH100 offers uses a single port for both standard video and USB data connectivity, and an HDMI port for displaying both video and stills on an HDTV set.

AV/USB and HDMI ports are provided.

Battery

The Lithium ion rechargeable battery hasn't been rated for longevity yet.

The battery and SD card share a compartment.

Memory

The FH100 accepts SD and SDHC memory cards. There are also 89.5 megabytes of built-in memory.
