Pros:
Insane shutter speeds. Unheard-of slo-mo capabilities. Innovative bracketing and buffered shooting modes. |
 |
Cons:
Still-image quality is disappointing. Slo-mo video quality is detrimental. Lacks a continuously variable zoom. |
|
| Conclusion: |
|
| There's simply nothing else like the Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1. No other prosumer camera has faster shutter-speeds, and no other prosumer camcorder has anything close to its ultra-high frame-rates. The camera's Achilles heel, though, is that its still-image quality is competitive only with point-and-shoots, and its slo-mo videos are so tiny and compressed they're barely YouTube quality. The Casio EX-F1 is an incredible, endlessly fun device, and it feels like an important first in digital-imaging. Still, unless you really need to shoot at 1,200 fps for a very specific purpose and you don't care about image quality, the Casio EX-F1 is ultimately a tough sell. That said, we eagerly await the Casio Exilim Pro EX-F2. |
