To justify the dramatic title here are some facts on the EX-ZR200 which is just announced by Casio Japan. The 16 megapixel camera runs on the Exilim Engine HS which is powered by dual CPU's which gives the camera enough computing power to power on, focus and shoot an image in just 0.27 seconds. Other features include 12X optical zoom, 3 inch display, anti shake feature and the usual you would expect from a compact digital camera. The camera goes on sale in Japan from November 18 for 45,000 Yen ($ 600).
