The Casio EX-FH25 is a 20x superzoom camera that succeeds the Casio EX-FH20. The 20x zoom range covers the equivalent of 26-520mm on a 35mm camera.
The EX-FH25 features a 10-megapixel backlit CMOS sensor and is capable of capturing 40 fps bursts at the 9-megapixel size. The EX-F25 also captures Casio’s signature high frame-rate videos at up to 1000 fps, albeit at the customary low-resolution settings as you push the frame rates higher.
The FH25 also looks to capture RAW format images via Adobe DNG format. The FH25 will have an ISO range of 100-3200 and built-in sensor-based stabilization.
We’ll update this post when Casio drops an official word in the US.

Rumors of the D800 or a D700x seemed to gain momentum after Nikon announced the top-end D3x. Many expected to see a high-megapixel equivalent of the D700, which came roughly 9 months after after the D3. Since its introduction, the D700 has been characterized as sort of a “Nikon D3, Jr.” [Read more…]
