Digital Home Thoughts: Casio EX-FH100 Review

"The new Casio EX-FH100 is a new high-speed, high-zoom digital compact camera, marrying a 10x ultra-wide lens with a 10 megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor and the ability to shoot at an amazing 40 frames per second. In addition, the EX FH100 can record high-speed movies at 1,000fps, 420fps, 240fps, or 120fps, has a Prerecord Continuous Shutter setting that starts shooting when the shutter button is depressed halfway, and offers high-speed Night Scene, Lighting, Anti-shake and Portrait scene modes which combine several burst images into a single, clear photo. The FH100 can also shoot 720p HD movies..."

This is quite an interesting camera. It doesn't have the best picture quality, and the movie modes are a little quirky, but if you want to capture high frame rate videos it is in a class by itself. The 40 frames per second mode could make for some interesting photos. Photography blog has nothing but nice things to say about the build quality, which you would hope for in this price range. I can't help but think these high speed video modes would make for some interesting and funny videos, and also allow me to perfect my golf swing (maybe that's asking a little much). If you want to capture lots of fast paced action this may be the camera for you, otherwise you can get a camera that takes better pictures for less.
