Verdict

The Casio Exilim EX-FH25 is a high-speed superzoom digital camera equipped with a 10.1-megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor and a versatile 20x optical zoom lens (26-520mm equivalent). Its defining characteristic is its extreme speed, capable of capturing up to 40 frames per second at 9-megapixel resolution and recording high-speed video at up to 1,000 fps. Main pros include its impressive burst rates, sensor-shift image stabilisation for long-range shots, RAW format support, and an exceptional battery life of approximately 500 shots per charge. However, notable cons include its relatively small 1/2.3-inch sensor size which can struggle in low light, a low video resolution of 640x480 for standard movies, and the lack of a modern hot shoe for external flash.
