 Casio Digital Camera EXH10Aug 29, 2010
I purchased a new Casio Digital H10 Camera in May 2010. Picture quality is poor especially in rooms where there is a lot of incandescent lighting which is true of most homes and many businesses and social gathering places. This is using Casio's "Best Picture" functionality built in to the camera. The pictures come out orange and I have spent hours trying to correct them at home and at developers with limited success. I vote no buy on this camera.
Great camera so farAug 25, 2010
I bought the EX-H10 because my wife and I had been happy with my Exilim EX-Z700, a very compact and handy camera, but always wanted more optical zoom than its 3X zoom. So when the EX-Z700 started to behave badly (after nearly 4 years), I started my shopping with a built-in bias toward Casio. The EX-H10 is thinner and lighter than its main Canon (SD-210) and Panasonic "compact super-zoom" rivals, and fits nicely in my shirt pocket, though it's still bigger and heavier than ultra-compacts like the EX-Z700. Its zoom range (10X) is a bit smaller than the Canon and Panasonic, but still quite adequate for our use, and I like its wide 24mm bottom. My decision swung finally to the Casio when I saw it was about $140 cheaper than the competing Canon at Amazon.
We have had this camera for little more than a week, but so far we are quite impressed. We enjoy the big LCD viewing screen, and the operation buttons don't seem any smaller than on other cameras (I can use them quite well with my big fingers, if I'm careful). You must have a delicate touch on the zoom button to reach the desired magnification without jerkiness and lots of little adjustments, but I suppose that's the price you pay for a 10X zoom range.
We already are familiar with the basic Casio operating system, but I think anyone could pick up this camera and start staking good pictures right away. This camera also has some new features that I have not had time to play with yet (including face recognition, which seems to work well). We like the new separate video recording button, which saves some fiddling when you want to film video. And while some reviews said you can't zoom while filming video, I have been able to do so. There also are a couple of separate scene-selection buttons on top, which I haven't yet learned about yet but which I think can be programmed for other purposes.
The automatic Best Shot (BS) setting works great. It has captured some very nice pictures under difficult conditions such as backlighting and in dark rooms, choosing the best exposure and flash settings automatically. The flash is powerful enough to light subjects about 12 to 15 feet (4 to 5 meters) away, and perhaps even further. There is almost no shutter lag, and recycle time between pictures is quite quick (I think less than a second with my cheap, slow memory card).
I gave this camera 4 stars for picture quality because I am not a professional photographer nor a camera reviewer, so I cannot compare its quality to that of other cameras (Canons tend to get great reviews for picture quality). I can only say that my wife and I are very pleased with the photos we have taken so far, including landscapes, family snapshots, party candids, and a macro closeup of a stunning butterfly.
I did not assign any stars for reliability because the camera is new, and its dependability remains to be seen. Our previous Casio worked great for over three and a half years, but then it suddenly started overexposing and banding some pictures (not all) recently for unknown reasons. Does that makes it a reliable camera or an unreliable one? I don't know.
Overall, I would confidently recommend this camera to my friends.
Loved it for the first 6 monthsAug 18, 2010
After a lot of research, I chose this camera last Christmas for portability, size and stabilization feature, I also wanted the 10x zoom for setting up portraits without being in the subject's face. I'm a small woman with small hands and small pockets. The camera was great all winter indoors and for portraits. However, come summer, I realized that the lack of a viewfinder is a PITA - no way to be sure what you are shooting in bright outdoor light when the LED screen fades out, reflects like a mirror and generally is NOT useful for framing shots. Major disappointment as beach scenes are a favorite.
Come July and major flaw #2 arises: the shutter now fails to open properly about 1 time in 10. No more pull it out, turn it on and shoot - gotta check that the shutter is actually open. And the problem is getting worse. ( it is probably fair to note that the available cases are too snug, making getting the camera out of a case a nuisance and using a case inconvenient; this led me to simply carry the camera in a pocket) .
Casio EX-H10 12Mp Digital Camera with 10X Optical Zoom and 3.0 Inch LCD
I definitely feel I overpaid @ $200+ for the system and a useful life of half a year. I'm looking for a second hand Nikon - my Coolpix 4600 gave me 3 1/2 years of reliable service and several thousand very good to excellent shots before its LCD screen died.
Video PerspectiveAug 02, 2010
Keep in mind that I use this camera mainly for video, so I won't talk about the picture quality.
You can record in HD, SD, or LP quality with this camera. The HD is really nice quality, but it chops off the top & the bottom of the screen to go from 4:3 to 16:9. It's not a big problem, but I like to get as much video into the picture as possible. It also only takes 24 frames a second, so it may not be best for high motion videos. I can faintly make out a jerkyness to it.
I currently can only create SD DVD's, but there is still advantages to using HD video. You can apply a digital image stabilizer without worrying about losing the video resolution. You can even use a digital zoom of up to 3x without the video blurring.
While recording in SD video, you get the full screen with 4:3, & 30 frames a second. So I usually switch between HD & SD accordingly.
I have not used the LP yet. It takes very burry video at only 15 frames a second. The only advantage is if you want it to record for a very long time!
On an 8GB SD card, I can take 40 minutes of HD video, 2 hours of SD video, & 7 hours of LP video. But the card has to be formatted with FAT32, which means you can only create up to 4GB's. So it will only record 20 minutes of HD video, 1 hour of SD, & 3.5 hours of LP before the camera stops recording. But you can simply hit the record button again to fill up the rest of the card.
One disappointing thing is that there is no manual settings for video. It's all automatic. So if you want to take time lapse of clouds, the exposure will down when a cloud goes in front of the sun, & then back up when the sun shows. So when you speed up the video, the exposure will sometimes flash annoyingly. So I usually go for my camcorder for shots like that. But this is understandable since this camera is much more portable then my camcorder.
All in all, it's a nice camera. I like it a lot.
Watch out for rec buttonJul 23, 2010
The rec button is within a few mms of the right thumb position, and it is too easy to push inadvertently when gripping the camera. This is a dealbreaker for me and I returned the camera.
