Casio is to be commended for trying to go where no company, or camera, has gone before. The innovative Casio EX-F1 not only captures at full resolution for 60 frames per second, but it goes beyond just being fast by using that speed and buffer in unique ways to help the photographer capture the perfect shot. One example is a slow-motion display of the capture so the photographer can see the perfect composition and have time to depress the shutter before the next frame.

It will be very interesting to see how this camera is met by consumers this year as I think they have an unusual “value proposition” to sell to the market. Before we did the video below, Ms. Keklak told us about how Casio engineers sought to redefine what a digital camera could be with the EX-F1. I hope their marketing people find success helping the rest of us comprehend just what they’ve done. (Incidentally, I think she meant to say “zoom ring” in the video where she says “focus ring.”)
