Fast Frame Rate Promised with Casio EXILIM EX-F1 Camera
Casio has announced the EXILIM EX-F1 camera that can shoot up to 60 frames per second or movies at 1,200 frames per second at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
The camera has a 6-megapixel complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor and a 12x zoom range. When using the sensor at its full resolution, the camera can take up to 60 images in a high-speed burst, with different frame rates possible. For example, a photographer can set the camera to take 60 shots in 1 second or 5 shots per second for 12 seconds, the company said.
The high-speed shooting and super slow-motion features are a first in consumer cameras, being typically found on much more expensive and dedicated professional models. Their inclusion in the Exilim Pro EX-F1 tops a two-year development project by Casio that sought to come up with just such a new feature, said Takashi Onoda, an engineer at Casio's research center that developed the camera.
The camera can also capture movies at VGA resolution at a recording speed of 300 fps, 600 fps or 1,200 fps, which means it can record movies for replay in ultra-slow motion, a function that according to Casio has only been possible so far with a limited range of professional movie equipment.
Back in September Casio said it was expecting the product to be available in the next 2 years, four months on its here and will be in the shops in March for around USD 1000.
