 Best GPS point-and-shoot Dec 11, 2010
By Kevin
Picture quality is excellent, both in sunlight and very low light situations. This camera was compared to similar Panasonic, Sony, and Canon cameras. The Panasonic was awful, but the Sony and Canon were good. But after picture quality, those don't even compare to the features and ease-of-use of this camera.
The 24mm wide angle is great. It allows pictures to be taken in small rooms, fitting much more real estate into the picture. It's also great for group shots.
I've had no trouble getting a lock on GPS, even indoors, and it usually only takes 5-10 seconds after turning the camera on. It does not drain the battery any significant amount to keep the GPS on.
I love the panorama function. Just push the shutter button and rotate the camera, and it stitches a nice panaorama together.
10x zoom is great, but it utilizes the imager to pull in even higher zoom if you're using less than the 14MP. At 3MP you get 31.6x before digital zoom kicks in.
If you do the firmware update to Version 1.01 you can save all the GPS log data to a .kml file, which can then be opened in Google Earth to see exactly where you've been. It even logs when the power is off, maybe every minute or so. Unfortunately there are not photo links in the path though. At this point it appears the only way to view and select your pictures from a map is to upload to Panoramio, Flickr, or another photo site. I was hoping there would be a function to do this with Google Earth but there isn't.
There is a separate video button which is nice. HD video does take a lot of space though, approximately 80MB/min.
The menu is very quick and easy to navigate for changing things like flash, resolution, shot mode, etc.
It has a built-in primitave map that you can scroll in, and pressing a button centers the map on your position. There are many built-in pictures too. For example you can scroll to the Grand Canyon and see pictures from all the view points.
The camera is considerably larger than the other Exilim models I've had although it still is reasonably small and portable.
It has mini-HDMI out, but does not come with a cable. I bought one on Amazon for less than three bucks.

Casio GPS Camera Dec 10, 2010
By George Young
Loving this camera. The GPS is fast and accurate. The battery life is impressive. The optics are so so. Easy to use.
Had a Nikon Coolpix P6000 GPS camera and the GPS was absolutely not usable. It would take 15 minutes to get a fix, then lose the fix and the battery life was just a few hours, and the battery would die even with the camera off. The Casio has been is use for 2 weeks now, taken over a hundred pictures and still has half a battery left.
Sold the Nikon P6000 on eBay.
The Casio EX-H20G powers on in 10 seconds, point and shoot and you have accurately geotagged photo. This is such an easy camera to use. The optics are not that impressive but I am very happy to have bought the EX-H20G
The GPS is suppose retain accuracy even if it can't receive satellite signal, will be going in some abandon railroad tunnels soon and will test this out.

 Unique GPS Hybrid Camera Jan 14, 2011
By MetTech
It shares many functions with other high end point-and-shoot cameras. The panoramic function is very good.
The negatives are (1) buttons too close together, (2) "On" button at the back, too easily activated when the camera is in the pocket, (3) location, Latitude and Longitude are reversed (on my Exlim), placing Los Angeles, California at the opposite side of the world, some where southeast of Perth, Western Australia, and (4) no printed "User Manual". It is a PDF file on a CD in the same box. It is very exhaustive and long.
All other GPS function, such as place names, distance transversed, map, etc. work perfectly. The NORTH/SOUTH and EAST/WEST reversal is a big frustration.
I called Tech Support. It did not resolve the problem. It seemed this issue was not in their canned answer list. I was advised to find a local authorized repair shop.

Great Family Camera Dec 07, 2010
By Happy Lady
"Book Lover"
I want to start by saying that I am in no way a professional photographer. Although, I do enjoy taking pictures of my family. Our very old previous camera finally died and we realized we needed to get a new one. We did not want to spend a lot of money, but we wanted a nice camera that worked well for a family to capture memories. I shopped for a long time and did a lot of research on line. (There are SO many cameras out there to choose from.) It is quite intimidating to me to read some of the reviews for most of the cameras. I am not familiar with most of the specific technical aspects that most people include. I am sure that there are several cameras that are really great, but I ultimately chose this one.
I purchased this at a military store for a little less than it is sold here on Amazon. I was looking at a Sony and a Nikon, but they we a little more expensive and we really didn't need all the extra bells and whistles that most of those come with. When we talked to one of the representatives at the store about this camera, he was very helpful and informative. This camera has a few features that we didn't even know we wanted. It also has a few bells and whistles that we will probably never use, but most cameras now a days do. I will list the pros that I, as a non-photographer and just someone who wants to capture memories, really love about this camera.
1. This camera is very fast to turn on and off. I know my old camera was almost an antique, but I hated hitting the on button and having to wait for it to "warm-up" forever before it decided that it wanted to take pictures. As a mom of young kids, this is very relevant because my kids never want to stay still very long.
2. There is a 2.7in viewing screen on it. My last digital camera had a 1in screen on it. This screen is huge and very easy to see both the pictures you are taking and the videos.
3. It connects to the TV. It comes with a cord (I don't know the specific name of it) that connects the camera directly to the TV and you can view the pictures as a slide show on it. You can view the videos as well and they come though crystal clear even on my 52in TV. (This is my favorite feature!)
4. It connects to the computer. It comes with a USB cord that connects it to the computer. You can view and save the pictures and videos on it.
5. It comes with a rechargeable battery and a charging unit for said battery. Again, as a mom of small kids who seem to have a never ending stream of toys that eat batteries for snacks, this it a huge help. (This is my 2nd favorite feature!)
6. It has a flash feature that is easy to turn off and on or set to Auto. I love this because I am not very tech savy and I hated fighting with my last camera to 1st, find the flash and 2nd, make any changes or adjustments to it at all.
It also has a lot of the extra's that someone better versed in "camera language" will surely love. It also can connect to a tripod, which must be purchased separately.
This is a fantastically easy camera to use and it is a perfect family camera. I would highly recommend this camera and in my opinion, it is very much worth the money.

No regret for the price Jun 30, 2011
By CalAl
The positive features have all been described in earlier reviews. It is a very good camera for even a semi-serious amateur.
Any one with geotagging needs will find it a good buy. All features work well both in camera mode and once files are shifted to computer. Use Picassa App on Mac and the Places feature works, the pics are placed on the map in the Places window. Upload to Picasa Albums online and there they are nicely mapped for you. Choose option to view in Google Earth from Picasa Albums online and something odd happens on a Mac. A file is downloaded that has a file name something like 3245487664322, all numbers, no extension. It will not load in Google Earth. Rename it Julypics.kml and voila, it will now load into GE.
I have found the macro (two types) to work well in both manual and auto modes (two types, still deciding which is best, probably the less powerful one for flower close ups when there are more than one in the view finder). Using a bit of zoom while taking a smallish flower works quite well, background goes nicely out of focus and flower looks sharp. The green or red boxes on the screen let you know if your target is or is not in focus. Now have plenty of really sharp close ups of wild flowers.
I downloaded the manual from their web site, it is a huge pdf, so stuck it in my wife's iPad and am reading it bit by bit. Yes it is long as others have complained about, but better to have the detail if you need it. My attention span can handle it, even though it is a big read.
I agree with the comment about the flimsy trap door to access the battery/SD card. I doubt it's ephemeral plastic 'lock' will last the life of the camera. Duct tape may be needed at some point. The alternate trap door to gain access to the mini USB and HDMI slots is equally dodgy, using a tiny rubbery plastic bit of 'string' to stop it from falling on the ground when you open it up. Hard to decide whether to pop out the SD card and stick in a reader, or use the USB cable to transfer pics. One of the other trap doors is going to suffer from over use.
I also agree with issues over the on/off button. It works fine, but it is small, it is next to others (in-camera map features) that 'act' instantly if you touch them with camera on or off, and you WILL do that from time time. Minor annoyance.
The zoom lever is around the "take the pic' button, and I find it a bit too responsive, zooming too fast beyond where you would like to settle, resulting in a back and forth game to get it right. I am getting better with practice, all about touch.
These critical comments should not detract you too much. They are all relatively minor. I am a strong advocate of this geotagging camera with excellent zoom, good macro, top notch viewing screen, great battery life, strong auto features all in a point and shoot camera for less than $300. I am three weeks in but already know it is going to get a lot of use.
