Casio High-Speed Exilim EX-FC100 9.1 MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-inch LCD
Description
For a down-to-earth
point and shoot, this
camera provides a load of
choices primarily for non-experienced
photographers,
as there are no manual controls.
This camera is not meant for pros. They will complain about how it doesn't do this or that and how the whatever
it is could be better and faster. The fundamental fact of the matter is that this camera is for the regular user who just wants to take some
especially trendy photos or videos of the subject they are looking at. This
camera resembles a camcorder and a camera all in one (digicam). You can take equal parts video and photos.
Plain and simple, this camera is amazing! It takes amazing
pictures, is extremely easy to use, and has many features. If you are thinking about getting this camera you will not be disappointed
and the more you use it the more you love it!
The Casio High Speed Exilim EX-FC100WE Digital Camera offers a high-speed 30 shot-per-second burst rate and high-speed movies at a maximum of 1000 fps. It also delivers a number of other innovative functions, including the ability to capture a still image while viewing the movement of the subject in slow motion and automatically selecting and saving one frame from continuous shots.
The Exilim EX-FC100 measures only 3.9 inches wide, 2.3 inches high and .9 inches thin. It features a 5x optical zoom lens with CMOS shift anti-shake function and a 2.7-inch high-performance Super Clear LCD. This high-speed model also boasts an effective 9.1-megapixel resolution.
Features
• 30 shot-per-second high-speed burst shooting: It can save up to 25 frames prior to the instant that the shutter button is actually pressed, so even if the user hits the shutter a bit late, that special moment will not be missed
• Easy, convenient functions that make the most of high-speed burst shooting: Automatically record just the best of the images captured in a high-speed burst. Also, a number of images from a burst can be combined into a single image
• Slow Motion View: By pressing a dedicated button during shooting, it is possible to view the movement of the subject in slow motion on the LCD monitor
• High-Speed Anti-Shake and High-Speed Night
Scene functions: Combine a number of images taken in burst mode and then align the position of the subject to form a single shot
• High-Speed Best Selection: To ensure that a natural, fleeting smile is captured, the FC100 can automatically select the best image from a set of images taken in burst mode, with the subject smiling, with no photo blur and with the subject's eyes open. The best image will be saved
• Lag Correction: You can set in advance the time lag between the moment that you want to capture and the actual time of taking the picture. This way, it is possible to capture that precious instant at any time, with minimal lag
• High-speed movie recording at up to 1,000 fps: The FC100 features a high-speed movie function that can record motion that is ordinarily too fast for the human eye to see and then play it back in ultra-slow motion. The frame rate can be set at 1000 fps, 420 fps or 210 fps
• HD Movie function: The HD Movie function will record beautiful videos at a size of 1280x720 pixels. Also, pressing the dedicated photo button while shooting an HD movie clip will capture a 6.0-megapixel still image

Reviews
N. Avery "Leave No Teacher Behind" (USA)
After much researching and recommendations from professional camera people, I bought this Casio camera. I have had other brands of digital cameras-notice I said, "had". They all were great for a little while, then broken lenses,etc. This Casio is like a pro-camera with all the bells and whistles and the video clips are amazing. No more Canons for me!
Good Choice, August 31, 2009
By William Clinton (Arkansas)
I bought the other model first and returned it because of it's size. This one is definitely a keeper. I wanted the slow motion capability but also a pocket camera. It takes great shots and is great to take on vacation. The slow motion works great but needs a lot of light. I have been pleased.
