Casio's 2010 travel-zoom compact — 12.1MP CCD, stabilised 24-240mm equivalent 10x zoom, 720p video.
The Casio Exilim EX-H5 was a compact travel-zoom camera announced in June 2010, part of Casio's Exilim H series of long-zoom pocket compacts. It packed a 10x zoom starting at a genuinely wide 24mm equivalent into a body small enough for a coat pocket, aimed at holiday photographers who wanted one camera for everything.
It used a 12.1-megapixel 1/2.3-inch CCD behind a 10x optical zoom covering a 24-240mm equivalent range, with CCD-shift image stabilisation to steady the long end. Framing and playback were handled on a 2.7-inch LCD, movies recorded at 720p HD, processing ran on Casio's Exilim Engine 5.0, and power came from a proprietary rechargeable lithium-ion battery with SD/SDHC cards for storage.
As a used buy it suits travellers and everyday shooters who want a big zoom range without bulk. The stabilised 24-240mm span handles landscapes through to distant detail, though like most small-sensor CCD compacts it is at its best in good light, with noise rising quickly at higher ISO settings.
Check that the proprietary battery still holds charge and that a charger is included, as replacements are third-party items now. Inspect the LCD for scratches, listen for grinding as the zoom extends and retracts, and confirm stabilisation works at full zoom. SD/SDHC cards remain cheap and current, so storage is no obstacle.
