The movie mode is the biggest disappointment. The definition's not that good, considering the high pixel count, and hand-held footage is horribly jerky. If you can fix the camera on a tripod or bolt it onto a table top, you'll be alright. Otherwise, prepare for the worst. Oh, and there's no optical zooming while you're filming.
The EX-H10's 10x zoom does a good job, with less distortion, edge softness and chromatic aberration than you'd expect, although the detail looks slightly over-sharpened (click image to enlarge)
Finally, don't imagine for one moment that this camera shares the high-speed technology in some of Casio's other models. The EX-H10's continuous shooting verges on the pitiful, wheezing along at little more than half a frame per second at full resolution and producing minute, 2-megapixel and 1.2-megapixel files in its 4fps and 10fps modes.
Conclusion
The Casio Exilim EX-H10 is alright. The zoom range is good, the battery life is excellent and it's slim enough to slide into a pocket. But there are other long-zoom compacts out there that are just as good or better. The EX-H10's well-made, but the interface, gadgets, and weak movie and photo quality make it feel cheap.
