Last year I broke down and got my wife a new camera, which I use all the time. She loves it whe This 10MPix still and video camera was way ahead its timen she gets the chance. As a video guy I had to do, and did research on the camera market only to find at that time, Casio had just released the EX-Z1000 [in my opinion] the best camera by a wide margin. $300 bought 10-MPix and color accuracy. That's worth the money, but this little Casio had way more. It's still an awesome camera.
Now comes the future: Casio Elimim EX-F1 It isn't perfect yet, but don't discount Casio as a serious technology player. This gadget is HOT, it shoots 300, 600 or 1200 fps and encodes them on the fly to an H.264 file/ at 30 frames per second. 1:10 ratio means one second equals 10 seconds of footage or SUPER SLO-MO. There is an excellent review at gizmodo. com that I suggest reading for the pros, cons, and future of this invention. Don't be surprised to find the future of digital imagery and a hell of a lot of fun at the end of that link!
Feature FULL and perhaps I peek of what's to come.
