The Casio Exilim EX-FH20 is a megazoom digital camera, and despite the fact that it is a glorified point-and-shoot camera it still offers features that make it stand apart from the competition. It is built with the ability to shoot 40 frames per second and 1,000 frames per second video capture. Those high-speed shooting features alone make it worthwhile, despite its inflated price tag and its moderately acceptable 9-megapixel resolution which delivers a below average quality of picture. It has a large, comfortable handgrip that is accompanied by a big thumbrest. The Casio Exilim EX-FH20 comes built with features, such as eight color filters, dynamic range expansion, and an auto option that lets you not have to deal with making any decisions at all.
