The Casio Exilim EX-FH20 is the new, super-fast, ultra-zoom released by the manufacturer who made waves with the more expensive EX-F1 earlier this year. The FH20 sports a 20x zoom, the ability to take 40 frames per second at 7-megapixels, or record super-slow-motion video at up to 1000 frames per second. However, once we got the camera into our labs, we found the body to be low quality, the auto focus was slow, it went through batteries at an incredible rate, and it scored poorly in our testing. Full details follow.

Picture Quality / Size Options (5.50)
The FH20 shoots 3456x2592 (9MP), 3456x2304 (7.9 MP, 3:2), 3456x1944 (6.7MP, 16:9), 3264x2488 (8MP), 3072x2305 (7MP, only in 40 fps mode), 2560x1920 (5MP), 1600x1200 (2MP), 640x480 (VGA). At the highest resolution it can shoot RAW+JPEG. Image quality for JPEGs can be set to Fine, Medium or Economy.
Picture Effects Mode (4.00)
While shooting, you can access picture effects shifting colors to black and white, sepia, red, green, blue, yellow, pink and purple. Sharpness, saturation and contrast can all be altered ±2 steps. Once you've taken the picture, you can rotate, trim and resize it, or alter the white balance if you had it wrong the first time. All of these, bar rotation, save an altered copy, so as not to destroy your original.
