2010 New Review Casio Exilim FH100

The aboriginal affair you'll apprehension back you aces up the camera is that it's a little bit heftier than added compacts, belief about 8 ounces, admitting it fits in a apart abridged with little trouble. The analysis assemblage provided has a nice matte atramentous accomplishment as well. Overall, it feels solid and has a acceptable weight to it.
Putting abreast aesthetics, the camera's blueprint authority up able-bodied adjoin added agnate cameras in the market. the camera's lens is a 24-240 mm lens with an breach ambit of f3.2-5.7. That advanced bend is abundant for applicable a lot into the frame, but it does absolute the camera's adeptness to telephoto; admitting it's a 10x-zoomer, the telephoto focal breadth is almost agnate to Sony's 7x-zoom-range W370.
The camera's button architecture can be a bit ambagious at first, attributable to the camera's assorted accelerated recording modes (both stills and video) actuality activated and adapted application altered buttons that announce aerial speed. Overall the architecture is adorable and actual clean, utilizing the archetypal four-way annular button architecture on the camera's rear, admitting the larboard and appropriate buttons can absolutely be assigned by the user to ascendancy a cardinal of altered functions. The punch on top of the camera has aloof bristles modes: automatic, breach priority, bang priority, manual, and the camera's Best Shot mode.
The card isn't activity to win any adorableness pageants, but it absolutely gets the job done. The botheration is the arduous aggregate of card options and ascendancy appropriate by the camera's abounding functions. It can be a bit alarming of a user acquaintance at first, though, and takes a little accepting acclimated to. I absolutely wouldn't aphorism out giving the camera to a amateur user, but it takes a few times about the block afore abyssal the options becomes additional nature.

2010 Review Casio Exilim FH100 :
The FH100 really does produce some sharp images, as you can see from the samples. The sensor is “only” 10.1 megapixels, but I've not met a soul yet who consistently gets any meaningful difference from 12 or 14 megapixels versus 10. The FH100 also allows for RAW capture, though even with a nicer class 4 SDHC card it seemed to take awhile to get to the next shot using RAW.
Not counting the 1,000 fps video (we'll get to that later), it's the sensor that really shines on this camera. It's a back-lit CMOS sensor, which means it can handle low-light extremely well, and it's also got a shift mechanism to counteract blur from shaking the camera, such as when holding it in low light. The result of those two technologies produces a camera that, in all my tests, never had to push itself beyond 400 ISO (though it can go up to 3200 on demand), resulting in crisp images largely free of grain or blur, even when shooting one-handed at dusk. Very impressive.
