Casio Exilim EX-H20G

Zitat: As with most big zoom compacts claiming to be all in one solutions, the pluses surrounding the Casio EX-H20G - extended creative options due to that broader focal range - outweigh the negative of slightly wider physical dimensions. And it´s worth recalling that just a couple of years back you would have to buy an enthusiast-targeted bridge model to get anything like the lens reach offered here. Advantages over the EX-H15 here most notably include the GPS functionality (and HDMI output), though many may feel they can do without that for day-to-day use and plump for the slightly cheaper camera instead. It´s a shame that the obvious mechanical buzz of the zoom lens making its adjustments has necessitated the lens barrel being frozen in place when video recording commences. This is in itself much noisier in operation than on competing models, and is one of the few black marks against Casio´s travel zoom Exilim, the other being the slightly sluggish powering up and down, again in comparison with rivals. That broad focal range, high resolution and a decent battery life do however ensure that the Casio EX-H20G should be on the list of anyone looking for an able travel companion that can return decent results with the minimum of fuss and prior knowledge. As we noted when summing up its EX-H15 sibling, it may not be the prettiest device out there, but it´s practical. Just make sure you shop around to get a good price as there´s a premium being paid for the GPS facility.

Zitat: Pro: + Hybrid GPS + decent zoom for a camera of this class + good battery life. Contra: - Lacks manual controls - expensive. It´s priced on the high side, for sure, but Casio has created a camera that concentrates on quality point-and-shoot pictures and adds some genuinely more capable GPS technology that other brands have mustered. It´s not cheap technology, however, and with non-GPS cameras that offer pictures of a similar quality around half the price, we´re not sure if the EX-H20G can justify its RRP. Find it for around £200, however, and this is every geography teacher´s dream camera.

Zitat: Casios Exilim H20G ist in erster Linie eine Reisekamera: Sie bringt ein 10fach-Zoom, GPS und einen sehr guten Akku mit. Auf eine Serienbildfunktion muss der Nutzer verzichten, nicht aber auf eine sehr gute Bildqualität und einen HD-Videomodus.
