"World's Fastest" Camera Coming From Casio This Spring

by Terrence O'Brien on January 8, 2008 at 08:00 AM


When Casio showed of its forthcoming EX-F1 camera during it's Sunday afternoon CES press conference it blew the entire room away. What started out as pretty dry and, to be honest, dull event soon was drawing oohs and ahhs from the assembled cynical press. After the conference Bill Hoyer of Casio was kind enough to have a chat with us about why the F1 was so special and gave us a little hands on time with the worlds fastest burst shooting digital camera. Check out the video above for some drool worthy visuals.

This bad boy should be available in spring for around $1,000. And considering no camera can do 6.1 megapixel shots at 60 frames per second, and only cameras costing tens of thousands of dollars can capture those 600 and 1200 frame a second videos, $1,000 seems like quite the steal.
