Casio EX-F1 Cameracorder Shoots 1200 FPS Video
By Evan Ackerman
Casio�s EX-F1 is a sub-DSLR prosumer camera/camcorder hybrid with some sweet features that make it stand out from the crowd. And that�s not just PR speak, I promise. For starters, it has a not-too-shabby 12x optical zoom, a 6 megapixel sensor (2816 x 1872), and a dual integrated flash system that uses LEDs for high-speed light. Mkay. On to the stuff you care about�
At its full 6 megapixel resolution, the camera can fire off bursts at 60 frames per second (with the LED flash). Casio uses this feature to provide a sort of time shift: as you�re composing your shot, the camera will continuously buffer up to 60 full resolution frames, and save those those images just after you press the shutter. If you�re a little bit late with your trigger push, you can cycle through the previous 60 frames that the camera recorded for you, and pick out the perfect moment. But all that�s not even the exciting part� The Casio EX-F1 will take video in 1080i/720p at 30 FPS, but by trading off some lots of resolution, you can bump that up to a whopping 1200 (!) FPS. It�s a little bit of a gimmick, but it�s damn cool and something I would totally use. Check it out:
300 FPS @ 512 x 384:
600 FPS @ 32 x 192:
1200 FPS @ 336 x 96:
MSRP: $1000
