Casio Exilim EX-FC100

Digital Camera Review

Jun 26, 2009 - By Tim Barribeau
3.8 Casio has managed to squeeze the extremely high-speed photography and slow-motion video into the EX-FC100, which takes 9-megapixel images (or 6 megapixels at 30 frames per second) and records video at up to 1000 frames per second.  While it had some issues with image quality, the high speeds are a powerful draw.
