At first glance, the new Casio EXILIM Pro EX-FH20 looks similar to any other bridge-style compact camera, mimicking the look and feel of a beginner DSLR but offering an integrated 20x optical zoom lens (26-520mm equivalent). A 9 megapixel sensor, 3 inch LCD screen, 1cm macro mode and RAW file support complete the headline specs. But wait! Dig beneath the surface and you’ll quickly find the real selling-point of the EX-FH20 - its incredible continuous shooting rate of up to 40fps for still images and 1000fps for video.

Admittedly there’s a drop in quality (to 7 megapixel stills and 224×56 pixel movies respectively), but the Casio EX-FH20 is easily the second fastest compact camera on the market, beaten only by it’s big brother, the EX-F1, which is a lot more expensive and “only” offers 6 megapixels. Priced at £399 / $599, Gavin Stoker finds out if Casio’s latest speed-demon can out-run the competition.
