Review (Summary): "Unquestionably the most futuristic camera of 2008, the Casio EXILIM EX-F1 offers unparalleled capabilities in both still and video shooting. We expect respectable digital SLRs today to take roughly three photos per second. The EX-F1 can take 60 full-resolution pictures in a second. It can even shoot 7 frames per second while firing the flash with each shot.
Casio's EXILIM EX-F1 promises features no digital camera on the market has offered before, and it delivers - with some reservations. The camera's strongest suit is the option to shoot up to 60 full-res 6-megapixel images in a second. Combined with a sophisticated prerecord capability that continually captures images to a buffer when you half-press the shutter and saves the most recent ones to memory when push the shutter all the way, the tools you need to never miss another great shot are at hand. ..."
Review (Summary): "When you’re a professional gadget reviewer, you see plenty of cellphones, music players, camcorders and computers. But in two weeks, Casio will offer an entirely new device for sale, the first of its kind: a time machine. ...
... Most stunning of all, this camera can film at outrageously high frame rates: 300, 600, or even 1,200 frames a second. The result is incredibly smooth, extremely slow motion, like something in an Imax nature movie. No still camera has ever offered anything like this feature. ..."
Review (Summary): "... For the fastest camera in the world, it certainly has its slow points. Power on time and focusing is slow to the point where you could miss your fast moving object because the camera isn't ready. ...
... If you're looking for a backup prosumer with stupidly fast fps and want to mess around with slow motion film, take a look at the Casio EX-F1. ..."
Review (Summary): "I call the Casio EX-F1 a time machine for two reasons. The first is that it provides us with a peek into the future of both still photography and video. The second is that it offers many exciting different ways of recording still and moving images, some of which almost seem as if they were designed by H.G. Wells. ...
... Even after three weeks of use, and many hours of experimentation and playing, I can't say that I have the full measure of the Casio EX-F1. There are simply so many features and capabilities available that even cataloging them is a tedious chore - which is why this review doesn't even attempt to report on every mode and feature available. ..."
Review (Summary): "If you just look at the basic specifications, the EX-F1 doesn't sound that impressive. It's a six-megapixel SLR-style camera with a 12x optical zoom lens, equivalent to 36-432mm. ... However the EX-F1 has capabilities unlike any other camera on the market. It has a newly-developed ultra-high-speed CMOS sensor and LSI image processor and other speed enhancements giving it the ability to shoot full-resolution 2816 x 2112 pixel stills at an astonishing 60 frames a second with a maximum shutter speed of 1/40,000th of a second, shoot continuously with flash at seven frames a second, or to shoot video at an equally amazing 1,200 frames per second, allowing slow-motion shooting at up to 40x reduced speed. ...
... Its still image quality, while good, is no match for the best of the current high spec super-zooms, and its alarmingly high price will also discourage potential buyers. It's a brave attempt by Casio to break the status quo of the current digital camera market, but one I fear that may not succeed. ..."
First Impressions (Summary): "The Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1 made its long-awaited debut at the CES show in Las Vegas after a little teaser at a show in Germany last August. A few months of Internet gossip included rumors that the F1 is an DSLR, but it is not. It's a 12x compact ultra-zoom digital camera with a 6-megapixel CMOS sensor and sensor-shift image stabilization. ...
... The Casio EX-F1 is the hottest digital camera at CES. The 60 fps Burst mode is enough to make any photographer lust after this camera. And many consumers search for the perfect camera to carry in place of hauling around a digital camera and camcorder. The EX-F1 just might be that camera. ..."
