Casio announced the release of EXILIM Hi-Zoom EX-H10 camera which claims to be able to take 1000 pictures on only one charge of the battery. Imagine being able to pack for vacation without having to pack yet another charger! Sounds like pure heaven.
It also has 10x optical zoom, 3 inch monitor and stabilization features all in a camera less than 1 inch thick! Of course there are also other features that make it quite the decent little camera, for an MSRP of $299.99 once available.
