Casio EXILIM EX-H20G review – Verdict
Overall the Casio EX-H20G is an all-round solid performer. The Hybrid GPS is unique but if you have no interest in this particular feature then save yourself a bit of cash and look elsewhere in the Casio range (or, indeed, browse other manufacturers’ ranges).
The 24-240mm lens is justification for the medium sized body and such a zoom range provides really good shooting potential from wideangle through to a relatively long zoom.
If the EX-H20G provided slightly more impressive image quality for the price and some manual controls were thrown in to boot then we’d be considerably more impressed. As it stands the H20G is otherwise an ample performer with an interesting and unique angle to the compact market.
