Over the holidays, I had a pleasure to work with Casio. I tell you what… I LOVE this company and their products! They have beyond thrilled me with their technology and products. As you may know, I am a manic nut for the images that I take, as they have to be crisp, clear and memorable. Casio has just the perfect camera for those perfect moments; the high speed Exilim EX-F1. Whoah! What a nice piece of equipment this proved to be. Very light weight and the images came out beautiful!
The EX-F1 is a totally new type of digital camera that delivers speed and digital functions never before available! This new concept in digital cameras lets you shoot photographs that capture every moment of a moving subject, and movies that open up a whole new world invisible to the naked eye.
- § Ultra-high speed burst shooting captures 60 still images per second
- § High speed movie recording at up to 1200 fps
I have been a user of another make of camera for about 3 years now, but Casio has opened my eyes to their high speed cameras. When I think of a digital camera, I do not image one to have the ability to shoot in video format, but the EX-F1 does.

Overview
The EX-F1 is a totally new type of digital camera that delivers speed and digital functions never before available! This new concept in digital cameras lets you shoot photographs that capture every moment of a moving subject, and movies that open up a whole new world invisible to the naked eye.
- § Ultra-high speed burst shooting captures 60 still images per second
- § High speed movie recording at up to 1200 fps
| 6 Megapixel Resolution/12X Optical Zoom |
| The EXILIM Pro EX-F1 incorporates a new high speed CMOS sensor and high speed LSI processor. After building in 6.0 million effective pixels and a 12X optical zoom, the developers focused on achieving a burst shooting speed capability that was hitherto unheard of. Using the camera’s ultra-high speed burst shooting for still images or its high speed movie recording mode, users can capture a split second’s movement with greater detail than before, allowing them to catch each decisive moment, and even motion that the human eye cannot ordinarily perceive. |
| 60 Frames Per Second-Burst Mode |
| Using the still image burst mode, users can shoot at an ultra fast 60 frames per second. In burst mode, the frame rate can also be varied from between 1 and 60 frames per second while shooting. Up to 60 shots can be taken at once, so 60 shots per second for one second, or 5 shots per second for 12 seconds, are possible. |
| Pre-Record Still Images |
| Users can record images not just at the instant they press the shutter button, but before! Continuously recording at up to 60 images per second, a maximum of 60 images can be saved in the camera’s own buffer memory even before the shutter button is depressed. Even if users press the shutter a little late, they will still be able to catch that vital moment. |
| Slow Motion View |
| Users can take photographs while, in the monitor, the momentary action that is before their eyes is displayed in slow motion. It is just as if they have slowed down the passing of time. Users can unhurriedly observe the motion of the subject as they press the shutter, ensuring that they never miss that crucial moment. |
| Rapid Flash |
| It is possible while using flash to take up to 20 continuous shots at a speed of up to 7 frames per second, so even in low light, no more missed shots. Also, the internal LED light allows high speed burst shooting at between 10 and 60 frames per second. |
| High Speed Movie Recording Up To 1,200 Frames Per Second |
| The EXILIM Pro EX-F1 can record high speed movie footage of motion too fast for the human eye, for ultra slow motion playback. Users can select a recording speed of 300 fps, 600 fps or 1,200 fps. There is also a Movie Button that lets users quickly start movie recording without first switching from still image mode. |
| Full High-Definition Movies |
| The camera features Full High-Definition movie recording capability. Users can record beautiful movies at a screen size of 1920 x 1080 pixels, at a rate of 60 fields per second. The camera can be connected to an HD compatible television with a separately available HDMI cable to enjoy viewing movies. |

From a mother’s standpoint:
This is a great camera for capturing your most prized moments! I really do think that an investment such as the Casio EX-F1 is a wise choice and a smart investment.
I love that you have the ability to use the viewfinder OR the LCD display. By using the viewfinder, you will find that you will save on your battery power, so this is a big plus for me!
A feature that I like, also, is that you have the option to add an external flash. Mega plus for me! I love using an external flash for the images that I use on most of my posts.
The F1 isn’t as bulky as some other pro cameras that I have seen. I was able to tote this along in our diaper bag, as well as in my camera case.
All in all, this is a great camera! Check out http://www.exilim.com/intl/ex_f1/ for more information and specific technical details about this bad boy!
