Third-party reviews

What customers like about Casio EXILIM EX-H20G

  • 600 shots per charge covers a long weekend away.
  • The 1950 mAh battery keeps it going through long days.
  • GPS tags each picture with its location.
  • Bluetooth links the camera to a phone.
  • Sensor-shift stabilization steadies handheld shots.
  • A base ISO of 80 keeps bright scenes clean.

What customers don't like about Casio EXILIM EX-H20G

  • No manual exposure limits creative control.
  • Video tops out at 1280 px, which is HD only.
  • The 4 s longest shutter limits night photos without a tripod.
  • At 216 g the body is noticeable in a pocket.
  • Only one microphone gives basic sound in video clips.

Verdict

Built-in GPS and Bluetooth set the Casio EXILIM EX-H20G apart, which suits a traveller who likes to know where each photo was taken. Its battery is the real strength. It is rated for 600 shots, so a long weekend away should need only one charge. Sensor-shift stabilization helps with handheld shots, and the base ISO of 80 keeps bright scenes clean. The trade-off is video and manual control. Clips top out at 1280 px, which is HD rather than full HD, and there is no manual exposure. The 216 g body is also noticeable in a pocket. Night shots are limited by the 4 s longest shutter. It suits a traveller who wants a long-lasting, connected compact for sightseeing and is happy to let the camera set exposure.
