Gift Tip 15: Casio Exilim EX-FC100 High Speed Camera

Nov 23 2009, 7:00pm CST | by Luigi Lugmayr

The new Casio EX-FC100 is quite unlike any other compact digital camera currently available. Bringing never before seen high speed image capture features to the compact digital market, the Casio EX-FC100 becomes a highly versatile personal digital camera.

The Casio EX-FC100's features include a 5x zoom lens combined with a special 1/2.3-inch 9.1-megapixel high-speed CMOS sensor with image stabilization. It is fully capable of HD video recording, as well as 30fps continuous shooting and 1000fps high-speed video. The Casio EX-FC100 has the ability to shoot at 30 frames per second at 6 megapixels, and it can also record slow motion video at up to an incredible 1000fps. HD movie recording at 1280x720 pixels, the ability to capture a 6 megapixel image at the same time as shooting a movie, a mechanical anti-shake system, and a lag correction setting which avoids shutter-lag, help make the Casio EX-FC100 one of the most intriguing cameras of 2009.
The Casio EX-FC100 is quite slim, measuring 23mm thick when turned off, making it suited to either a trouser pocket or small camera bag, and it only weighs 5.12 ounces without the battery or memory card. Featuring professional quality build including metal tripod mount and image stabilization, the Casio EX-FC100 adds new class to the Exilim brand.

The best features of the EX-FC100 are the good battery life, assist lamp, lag correction, and very quick playback mode. The Casio EX-FC100 offers great high-speed image capture and strong high-speed video capture. But it has got some drawbacks too. Its close-up image quality and low-light performance could have been better. The price is a little high for a point-and-shoot model.

Great Gift For
Casio EX-FC100 is an outstanding gift for the camera lover. It is one of the best devices to capture the precious moments in your life you want to cherish later on.
