Had the opportunity to bring along a Casio Exilim EX100 Super Compact to Clubsnap's North Korea Phototour in June.

It's a pretty neat camera which has some really good features which I used to supplement my main camera.

These shots were taken from a (super bumpy) moving bus. The rapid fire feature coupled with the internal sensor stabilization makes some decent captures in a situation where other systems will most probably fail

This was shot from really far away. Once again, the mega zoom coupled with stabilizer proves very useful.

Decent high ISO performance coupled with constant large aperture and stabilization


Personal thoughts - It's a pretty good and versatile super compact, great to carry along as a backup camera due to its size, and it's easy to use inconspicuously, for times that a DSLR would stress everyone up (like in NK).
Battery life is pretty good, for my type of shooting, which is selective. I don't fire off more than 200 frames from this camera any day (and I've also never seen my battery bar drop).
