If you're in the market for a camera that lets you take pretty pictures with a high dynamic range (HDR), try the Casio Exilim EX-ZR10 ($549).

With a simple press of the shutter release, the camera's HDR Art function takes several shots in different exposures and combines them into a single image with dramatic contrasts and colour saturations. Essentially, the ZR10 allows you to shoot a picture that others might have to spend minutes to enhance in a digital darkroom.

Available in red, silver and black, the camera is powered by Casio's new Exilim Engine HS image processor and a high-sensitivity 12.1-megapixel, back-illuminated CMOS sensor. It boasts a 7x (28-196mm of 35mm equivalent) optical zoom lens, a three-inch LCD screen, and several shooting options, such as Premium Auto, Slide Panorama and HDR Art. The ZR10 not only shoots full high-definition videos, it can also record slow-motion movies at up to 480 frames per second.

Casio has also unveiled a hybrid-GPS camera - the Exilim EX-H20G ($599). Map data has been preloaded into the camera, and GPS is combined with motion-sensor driven autonomic positioning to track the user's position. So, even if you are indoors, the camera can still tag your position.

The 14.1-megapixel H20G, with its 10x (24-240mm of 35mm equivalent) optical zoom lens and three-inch LCD screen, is available now in black.
