Exilim EX-FH100 by AL (May, 2010)Interestingly, this camera has remarkable low-light performance, and even at ISO 3200, the pictures look only a little more water colored than at base ISO.
Exilim EX-FH100 by c|net (Jul, 2010)Its image detail remain strong when shot at an ISO up to 800, though, and even shots taken at its highest ISOs are usable.

aperture size
Exilim EX-FH100 by Uma-B (Apr, 2011)But if you can be happy with a LARGE JPEG and the flexibility to shoot in all modes...aperture, shutter, manual... you'll like this cost effective black box.
Exilim EX-FH100 by Photography Blog (May, 2010)In addition to the Auto and Best Shot modes, the Aperture-Priority, Shutter-Priority and Manual will prove particularly appealing to more experienced photographers looking for more control over what the camera is doing.

Video
Casio Exilim EX-FH100 | Rated 100% by by Phillip-A.-Crosby (May, 2011)I use the high speed video to analyze motion and I am very pleased with all settings through 240 fps.
Casio Exilim EX-FH100 | Rated 100% by by Mike (Apr, 2010)Not only is HD Recording amazingly clear, but switching to 120, 240, or even 420 FPS looks absolutely amazing.
Casio Exilim EX-FH100 | Rated 73% by by c|net (Jul, 2010)The Casio EX-FH100's continuous shooting and high-speed movie presets are plentiful.
Slow motion
Casio Exilim EX-FH100 | Rated 73% by by c|net (Jul, 2010)It has plenty of easy select-and-shoot options for the high-speed features, but without a fully automatic shooting mode, taking a normal photo requires more effort.
Casio Exilim EX-FH100 | Rated 100% by by msho--msho (Apr, 2011)This a great camera for anyone who wants to take high speed videos and pictures.
Casio Exilim EX-FH100 | Rated 80% by by Photography Blog (May, 2010)In addition, the EX FH100 can record high-speed movies at 1,000fps, 420fps, 240fps, 120fps, 30-240fps or 30-120fps, has a Prerecord Continuous Shutter setting that starts shooting when the shutter button is depressed halfway, and offers high-speed Night Scene, Lighting, Anti-shake and Portrait scene modes which combine several burst images into a single, clear photo.
Lens
Casio Exilim EX-FH100 | Rated 80% by by Photography Blog (May, 2010)It's just small enough to fit into the palm of your hand, despite featuring a versatile 10x optical zoom lens that's equivalent to a focal length of 24-240mm.
Casio Exilim EX-FH100 | Rated 100% by by Lars-A-White--mystery194 (Sep, 2011)Wide angle is sharp, with little distortion.
Casio Exilim EX-FH100 | Rated 90% by by TrustedReviews (May, 2011)The lens produces very little wide angle barrel distortion.
Image quality
Casio Exilim EX-FH100 | Rated 80% by by Photography Blog (May, 2010)The Casio EX-FH100's maximum shutter speed is 30 seconds, which is excellent news if you're seriously interested in night photography.
Casio Exilim EX-FH100 | Rated 100% by by Nathaniel-Wolf (Jun, 2010)My wife also owned an older Casio Exilim model, and we've been very happy with it, in terms of size versus image quality.
Casio Exilim EX-FH100 | Rated 100% by by Boston_Qualifier (Apr, 2010)The image quality natually goes down as the frame rate goes up, and the quality is not great at 1000 fps, but I have found 120 fps to be quite adequate with a reasonable image quality for viewing a golf swing.
Sensor
Casio Exilim EX-FH100 | Rated 90% by by TrustedReviews (May, 2011)There is some loss of detsail at 800 ISO, but overall quality remains high.
Casio Exilim EX-FH100 | Rated 73% by by c|net (Jul, 2010)In raw+ mode, which is raw plus JPEG, the camera's wait time is a painful 13 seconds.
Casio Exilim EX-FH100 | Rated 100% by by Black-Lemon (Apr, 2010)The combination helps keep noise unnoticeable even at high ISOs.
