The Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1, introduced in January of 2008, looks like no other Casio camera before, and it can do thing no other digital camera available to consumers can do. Casio’s corporate slogan is “Expect the Unexpected,” but even so, few would have expected the Pro EX-F1 from the company famous for its attractive little ultra-slim cameras. What is the EX-F1? A fairly large 6-megapixel camera with a 12X optical zoom and, according to Casio, the world’s fastest burst shooting performance. How fast? Up to 60 frames per second in full resolution burst mode, and up to 1,200 frames per second in high-speed movies!
We’d love to know the thought process and story behind this camera. As is, the Exilim Pro EX-F1 incorporates a newly developed high-speed CMOS sensor and a high-speed processor. In such a high-end camera you’d expect 10 or 12 megapixel, but maximum resolution is not what the F1 is all about. This is all about speed, and somehow Casio found that 6.0 megapixel worked best for what they had in mind. And what they had in mind was achieving the fastest burst shooting speed capability possible and ultra-fast movie modes. The goal was to enable capturing of split-second movement in great detail so that no important moment would be lost. Another goal was to build a camera so fast that it could capture motion that the human eye cannot see or follow.
So what does that include? First, there is an ultra-high speed burst mode that offers full resolution photography at 60 images per second. A maximum of 60 shots per second can be taken and you can set the camera from one to 60 frames per second. So you can shoot all 60 in a second, or one per second for a full minute.
