Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1 Reviews
LetsGoDigital reviews the Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1 and writes;
“In addition to the superb performance on speed and video capture, the Casio EXILIM Pro F1 is also used as photo camera…However, Casio have to work on the quality of the lens and the signal / noise ratio, in our opinion. ”

PCWorld reviews the Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1 and writes;
“The EX-F1 also makes shooting video a joy. It can record full 1080i HD video as well as video in standard TV format…At $1000, the Casio EX-F1 isn’t cheap. But for subjects such as sports and wildlife photography, where high frame rates and HD video stand out, it could be worth every penny.”

PCAdvisor reviews the Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1 and writes;
“Image quality stood up very well in our lab tests, showing fine exposure and low levels of distortion… the Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1 isn’t cheap. But for subjects such as sports and wildlife photography, where high frame rates and HD video stand out, it could be worth every penny.”

LaptopMag reviews the Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1 and writes;
“Our 6-megapixel shots showed crisp details and accurate color, even in low light. Some of our shots taken in a dim room looked as if they were taken during the day, not at night, but the flash managed not to overwhelm our subjects’ faces”

ePhotozine reviews the Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1 and writes;
“noise is present at ISO400 and it’s not until this setting that it becomes a problem. ISO800 sees an increase in sharpening of the noise and some slight purple blotching in the black square while ISO1600 decays a lot more with bright spells of purple all over and red pixels sporadically scatter the grey card.”

InfoSync reviews the Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1 and writes;
“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.”

LuminousLandscape reviews the Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1 and writes;
“I found 300 FPS produced a very usable image, and though on the small side could be ressed-up using Streamclip to 1024X720 and mixed together with 720P footage with visibly poorer, but still acceptable resolution..600 FPS and 1200 FPS are fun to play with, but frankly the image sizes are too small to do anything with other than to use in a high-school science fair project.”

CNET.uk reviews the Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1 and writes;
“Casio has made a brave new camera. With its ultra-high speed stills and movie shooting, anyone who shoots primarily sports, wildlife or parties should put the Casio Exilim EX-F1 at the top of their shopping list.”

NYTimes reviews the Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1 and writes;
“The 12X zoom is nice to have, but it’s slow to react. And during video capture, when you turn the lens ring to zoom, it jerks spastically through the zoom range, effectively ruining your shot. The camera has great difficulty changing focus during filming, too.”

Casio Exilim Pro EX-F1 Press Release
The EXILIM Pro EX-F1 incorporates a new high speed CMOS sensor and high speed LSI processor. After building in 6.0 million effective pixels and a 12X optical zoom, the developers focused on achieving a burst shooting speed capability that was hitherto unheard of. Using the camera’s ultra-high speed burst shooting for still images or its high speed movie recording mode, users can capture a split second’s movement with greater detail than before, allowing them to catch each decisive moment, and even motion that the human eye cannot ordinarily perceive.
*As at January 6, 2008, based on a Casio survey for the consumer market digital cameras.
Full resolution photography using 60 fps ultra-high speed burst mode captures the crucial moment

Bought it. Love it.
where is this manufactured? Is it made in Japan? What is standard warranty?
Hello! I’ve recently bought an ex-f1 and I am having a great time exploring its capabilities. It has never been so easy to capture a lightning strike before! The camera is made in Japan and the warranty is good for up to 2 years.
