My quick review: Casio EX-H10

Yesterday, I had a chance to take a few photos with a Casio EX-H10

I only took about 10 photos with it, so it is not in depth at all.
I will not talk about image quality or video function, because I didn't load the photos into my computer or take any videos with it.
The camera is set to the highest image quality and everything else on auto mode.

First thing I noticed was the really long time it took to save a photo.
I would click on the shutter, and it will take about three seconds of processing before showing me a review of what I just took.

Slow reaction time.
After half-pressing the shutter for it to auto-focus, when I fully press on the shutter, the camera still takes over half a second to actually take the photo.

The flash position is very horrible.
Most camera out there have the shutter button on the right side of the camera, so it is basically designed to be used with the right hand. This camera is no different.
Most camera has the flash on the left side. This camera has the flash on the right side.
So when I try to hold the camera with my right hand, my fingers will block the flash.

The zoom switch's reaction time is slow.
The camera will zoom for an extra half a second after I release the zoom switch.
So if I was zooming into an object, and I release the zoom switch at just the right time, it will zoom for an extra half a second, and zoomed too close.
On the other hand, the lenses zooms really fast. It is a lot faster than my Canon SX200is.

Distortion when zoomed out.
Distortion is really bad near the sides of the photo.
About 1/3 of the photo is distorted.

Taking photo with flash.
The flash looks like it is aimed down.
The few photos I took are of people sitting in front of a table.
Those few photos, the table was really bright and clear.
The people are quite dim and yellow.
And then the right side of the photo is dark, because of the way I usually hold cameras blocked the flash on this camera.

OSD.
The layout is okay.
The more frequently used options are easily accessible and easily understandable.

Conclusion
If given choice, I will not buy this camera.
