Photokina is just opening its gates in Germany right now and already we're seeing plenty of new products being rolled out, one of the most active companies being Casio, who announced quite a handful of new digital cameras, including here the latest addition to the EXILIM Hi-Zoom series, namely the EX-H20G model, which comes equipped with Casio's Hybrid GPS technology that makes it the first camera able to geotag indoors.

Packed with the new EXILIM Engine HS, the camera also sports Casio's Single Frame SR Zoom function, the 24mm wide-angle, 10x optical zoom lens actually offering a 15x zoom range that maintains the image quality needed for 14.1-megapixel high-resolution photography (this represents 1.5 times the range of the optical zoom, with virtually no loss in quality, at least according to Casio).

Other features include 720p HD video recording (30fps), as well as a three-inch, high-resolution 460K super clear LCD that is easy to view even when outdoors.

The EX-H20G also comes with Casio's advanced, fully automatic Premium Auto function for taking beautiful shots of scenery and people with just a press of the shutter button, and various useful functions for traveling such as Panorama Photo mode, which can take 360-degree photos, as well as auto-time adjustment which will automatically synchronize the camera's date and time with that of the user's current location and time zone.

Casio's new compact camera also features a Dynamic Photo function, which makes it easy for users to create "moving photos" right on the camera by cutting moving subjects from the background in images taken with continuous shooting, and combining those images on a different still or moving image background.

However, without a doubt, the EX-H20G's Hybrid GPS system represents one of the camera's major selling point, as it combines GPS with autonomic positioning, which is made possible by an internal motion sensor.

This enables the EX-H20G to track a user's last known satellite-acquired position against map data stored in the camera's internal memory, even while the user is indoors.

In addition to these features, the camera is pre loaded with information regarding 10,000 sightseeing photo spots around the globe.

When in the vicinity of one of these photo spots, the EX-H20G will automatically alert the user, identifying the locations as points-of-interest.

The EX-H20G will be available November 2010 for $349.99, which makes it an extremely attractive option for all amateur photographers looking for a good-quality, GPS-enabled compact digital camera.
