    A 60fps digital camera

    Move over Canon:

    Casio has all but invented a new category in the Exilim Pro EX-F1 camera. To say that the camera is the world's fastest digital burst camera is a serious understatement. While a standard DSLR might capture 4-5 frames per second at best, the F1 manages a jaw-dropping 60fps at 6-megapixels.

    They forgot to mention that is 60fps for one whole second. For longer bursts you have to slow it down. Nice specialty camera idea, but seeing as it does not have interchangeable lenses, I don't see S.I. issuing them anytime soon to their photographers.

    Does sound cool though.

    would be really cool for a mosaic, or time lapse look collage.

    Re: A 60fps digital camera

    I heard someone talking about this camera on a podcast this week. It sounds pretty cool, for certain things. The big killer for me was the speed to clear out the buffer after you fill it with 60 shots in one second. I think it was something like 13 seconds before you can take another shot. A couple seconds feels like an eternity when your subject is moving and the light is changing. But for certain things, I could see it coming in handy.
