Previously, I had an EX-S12, very flat, 3x opt. Zoom. Unfortunately, this had a lens damage and I was looking for replacement, the low-costs just can much, maybe even more. In my opinion, the H5 is still a little bit more than my S12, it has a 10x optical zoom that can capture very well with the objects moving away. The I greatly appreciated automatic exposure compensation is also included and saves me time and hassle of post-processing on the PC. Also, the many "Best Shot programs" an enrichment for the hobby photographer. They are preset fine and fulfill their promises. However, changing the brightness or the ISO sensitivity is not so easy, because you have to press only through the menu. But is a matter of habit and the EXILIM cameras have a very simple menu. Because the lens is larger, the camera is of course a bit clunky, but handy. The display is large enough, the information divided clear and the colors are not altered or inauthentic. This all-rounder from Casio delivers what it promises and at this price you can not complain at all.
