Casio today introduced a new ultra high performance super-zoom camera. The Exilim EX-FH20 is a smaller version of the EX-F1 (which I could never seem to get my hands on), and it’s continuous shooting mode can take 7 Megapixel photos at an unbelievable 40 frames/second. Here’s what else it can do:

Exilim EX-FH20 

• 9.1 effective Megapixel CMOS sensor
• F2.8-4.5, 20X optical zoom lens, equivalent to 26 - 520 mm
• Sensor-shift image stabilization
• 3-inch LCD display with 230,400 pixels + electronic viewfinder (201k pixels)
• Can shoot continuously at 40 frames/second (at 7 Megapixel) for up to 40 shots; a precapture mode is also available, which saves the 40 images buffered before you take your finger off the shutter release
• Full manual controls + 18 scene modes
• RAW (DNG) image format supported
• High Speed Anti-Shake mode “automatically synthesizes multiple images captured during high speed shooting” to reduce blur; a High Speed Night Scene feature works in the same way
• Can record movies at 1280 x 720 (30 fps) with sound; by lowering resolution, user can achieve frame rates as high as 1000 fps (though that’s at 224 x 56)
• 31.9MB onboard memory + SD/SDHC/MMC/MMCplus card slot
• Uses four AA batteries; 400 shots per charge using NiMH cells
• Ships in October for $599
