Unfortunately, my supervisors didn't respond to my repeated requests to go on an all-expenses-paid around-the-world vacation to test the camera's GPS skills across the globe, but the accurate location-based data and mapping of shots I took in San Francisco are good indicators of how well the camera's GPS functionality performs in a big city.

If you're looking for a camera that's all about fun, battery longevity, and travel-friendly features, the Casio Exilim EX-H20G is in a league of its own. Its long-zoom lens, long-lasting battery, array of scene modes, very good image quality, in-camera photo-editing functions, and excellent GPS integration are standout features for casual snapshooters and young photographers. Advanced photographers will miss the manual controls and low-light shooting capabilities, however, and anyone looking to shoot a lot of video with their camera may be disappointed by the digital-only zoom when recording.
