After Samsung and Olympus, and before them Fuji, now it's Casio's turn to offer a compact with a 10x zoom to compete with Panasonic and Canon. 

Casio has opted for an ultra wide-angle lens and has added an extremely hardy battery which promises a battery life of 1000 photos in between recharges.

Apart from its 24-240 mm zoom, 12 Megapixel sensor and an astonishing battery life, the Casio H10 is a stylish camera in a series of bright colours--a first for a sector the market traditionally restricted to more conservative looks.  Will it be able to beat the solid TZ7 or the SX200 IS?
