We like:

Super-fast burst modes and video; high definition video; intriguing slow motion view mode; large screen

We don't like:

1,000fps is at too low a resolution to be much more than a fun gimmick; out of action for several seconds after snapping a burst

You might also need:

SDHC cards for all the multiple full-resolution stills you'll get from those super-fast burst modes, and big high-definition video files

CNET UK judgement:

The Casio Exilim Pro EX-FH20 is no gimmick: it stands on its own 20x zoom as a decent superzoom, even before you consider the enormous fun to be had with the dizzying 40fps still and 1,000fps video modes
