As well as being compared against other travel zooms, the Casio Exilim EX-H5 is also often compared to pro digicams, compacts, mirrorless and ultra compacts. The Casio Exilim EX-H5's top rivals come from Sony (such as the Cyber-shot DSC-HX90V and the Alpha A6000) and Leica (such as the C Typ112)
Generally, some of the advantages of the Casio EX-H5 compared to other travel zoom competitors include: it is slightly smaller (compact (104×59×29 mm) vs compact (102×58×36 mm)), is thinner (1.1" vs 1.4") and is slightly lighter (174 g vs 245 g).
However, on average it doesn't have a built-in GPS, has a slightly smaller screen (2.7" vs 3"), has a slightly lower resolution screen (230k dots vs 921k dots), has worse image stabilization (sensor shift vs lens) and slightly lower maximum light sensitivity (3,200 ISO vs 12,800 ISO).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Casio EX-H5 compared to pro digicam competitors include: it has a significantly wider wide angle lens (24 mm vs 28 mm) and is much less expensive ($564.04 vs $1,595.64).
However, on average it has a significantly narrower aperture (f/3.2 vs f/2), has a slightly smaller screen (2.7" vs 3"), has a much lower resolution screen (230k dots vs 920k dots), has worse image stabilization (sensor shift vs lens) and takes slightly lower resolution photos (9.8 MP vs 12 MP).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Casio EX-H5 compared to compact competitors include: it has a significantly wider wide angle lens (24 mm vs 28 mm).
However, on average it is older (june 2010 vs february 2012), doesn't have a viewfinder (none vs tunnel) and slightly shorter exposures (4 seconds vs 15 seconds).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Casio EX-H5 compared to mirrorless interchangeable-lens competitors include: it is thinner (1.1" vs 1.8") and is slightly lighter (174 g vs 285 g).
However, on average it records lower quality movies (720p @ 32fps vs 1080p @ 60fps), has a much smaller screen (2.7" vs 3"), has a much lower resolution screen (230k dots vs 921k dots), doesn't have a viewfinder (none vs digital) and has worse image stabilization (sensor shift vs lens).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Casio EX-H5 compared to ultra compact competitors include: it has a significantly wider wide angle lens (24 mm vs 27 mm).
However, on average it is significantly larger (compact (104×59×29 mm) vs ultra compact (100×55×18 mm)), is thicker (1.1" vs 0.7") and is slightly heavier (174 g vs 132 g).
