Awesome Casio

No, not Verizon’s Exilim cellphone–the Casio Exilim EX-H10 is a true-blue compact camera with a 12.1MP sensor, 720p video, 3″ LCD, 10x optical zoom and 24mm wide angle lens.

If you liked Casio’s Japan-only W63CA, Verizon will get a slightly watered-down Casio Exilim C721; it features a swiveling display, but with a smaller 2.3″ TFT screen and 5.1MP camera.

Casio’s G-Shock Gulfman is ideal for boaters and surfers, with tide graph display, EL backlight, stopwatch function, yacht timer, and 200m of water resistance; it’ll run 7 years on a battery.

Casio’s latest updates to its solar-powered Edifice watches have a definite motor sports theme, with the EQW-M1000 sporting a disc brake window; time is synced via radio.

Point-and-shooters with a need for speed should check out Casio’s EX-FC100; this 9.1 MP camera can record high speed at 30 shots per second and movies at up to 1,000 fps.

Specially created for the 25th anniversary of Casio’s venerable G-Shock brand, these three figures (limited to 100) aren’t for sale but are on display at various Casio stores in Japan.

Although it’s Japan only, we’d welcome Casio’s W63CA Exilim cameraphone in the States; it features an 8.1 MP camera, anti-shake and a 3.1″ organic EL display which swivels.

Speed demons will love the Casio EX-FH20, which can shoot movies at 1,000 fps and do burst shots at 40 fps. It’s a user-friendly and lighter alternative to its big brother, the EX-F1.
