With its 20X optical zoom lens and 9.1-megapixel resolution, the $599.99 Casio Exilim EX-FH20 resembles other big-zoom, non-SLR cameras such as the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS (p. 19) and the Panasonic DMC-FZ28. But the EX-FH20 hides a superpower beneath its mild-mannered exterior: exceptional speed. In addition to its everyday photographic duties, this camera can shoot still images at up to 40 frames per second (fps) and movies (albeit tiny ones) at up to 1000fps. The EX-FH20 is smaller and less expensive than Casio's first high-speed camera, the EX-F1. Measuring 3.2×4.8×3.3 inches (HWD), though, it's still not going to fit in a pocket. With its large, rubberized grip on the front and rubber thumb panel on the back, it's very comfortable to hold.
