I could sell you my Canon EOS-1D. It's not getting used anymore.

But I am curious. I saw the Casio EX-F1 at PMA and was impressed. See my article about it Casio EXILIM Pro EX-F1, here. What I want to know is why you think it's the right camera for you? What do you plan to do with it? And why the EX-F1 instead of an intry-level digital SLR? You do know that even the lowest entry-level DSLR will have better image quality, right? But the EX-F1 may be the right camera for you. I'm just not sure who should choose the EX-F1 over a digital SLR. Can you tell me?

And just to make it clear - I'm not being critical of your decision. I just don't quite understand who should buy the new Casio. Maybe you can help

The main reason I say this is because of it's video recording features and fast shutter speed (the hi-speed mode is a big plus for some thing's i'd like to do, even though the resolution is a little low.)

Do you mean shutter speed or frame rate? Because most people won't be able to take advantage of shutter speeds faster than about 1/2000 second. I shoot action sports and I almost never go over 1/1000th of second. What is it that you want to shoot?

Explosions
also both
if they didn't have the hi-speed mode I wouldn't get it.

Cool! I hope you'll share photos with us. Do you want to shoot sequences?

Thanks for being patient with my questions. I am very curious about the EX-F1 and plan to do a review when I can get my hands on one. But I have been having a hard time figuring out who the camera is really for - especially with a $1000 price tag. But I can see how it would be useful for you.

I have a question not that I think anyone would know but does anyone know if the ex-f1 can record in 1080P and also you can change the shutter speed or is that only on slrs?
