Digital Home Thoughts: The Casio EXILIM EX-H10 “Superzoom”

"The new EX-H10 by Casio combines cutting edge Japanese technology with the most stylish, ultra-slim design in their first "Superzoom" camera. An impressive 10x optical zoom will take users to the heart of the action without compromising image quality; and a 24mm wide angle lens allows the camera to squeeze more in each shot - making it ideal for landscapes. The perfect travel partner, this slim camera can fit easily into a pocket and will keep shooting for nearly three times longer than its rivals."

10x optical zoom starting at 24mm, 12.1 megapixels, 720p video capture, and a three inch 960 x 240 resolution screen - what's not to like? Quite possibly the image quality - I've never been overly impressed with the quality of the images that come off Casio cameras...but that's mostly based off my experience owning a few Casio cameras back in the 2004-2007 era. It's too early to condemn this camera without having seen any sample images, but for Casio's sake I hope they've invested some resources into image quality and not just fancy features. Myself, I'm waiting for my red Panasonic TZ3 to arrive!
