Hands On Casio’s EX-FH20, the ‘Budget’ Super-Slow-Mo Cam
Maybe you didn’t even realise that the hallowed Exilim EX-F1 super-slow-mo cam got a little brother, the new $US600 EX-FH20. We finally got to check it out today and it’s definitely a winner. Slightly slimmer than it’s pricier counterpart, it also has a cleaner UI making it easier for a novice to use. 1000fps slo-mo video looked great, and the 40fps burst mode worked well, prerecording images in order to capture the perfect moment, even if you have a slow trigger finger. It even has a slight bump in the megapixel department, 9.1MP to the EX-F1′s 6.0MP. The EX-FH20 is just hitting stores, so check the gallery to see how it measures up to the EX-F1. And of course stay tuned for our full review. galleryPost("casioexfh20handson", 4, "");
Discovery Channel’s Time Warp: Slo-Mo Videos of Crazy Sh*t Go Primetime
newVideoPlayer("/discoverypunch_giz.flv", 494, 286,""); Overheard in a recent Discovery Channel producer’s meeting: “Hey–here’s a crazy idea: you know how videos of things happening in slow motion tend to blow up the internet? Let’s make that into a whole show. And in HD to boot. Face punches, raw chicken exploding, champagne blowing its top (the more latent sexuality the better!)–that kind of thing. We’ll start it off next week, and yeah, we’ll put some pretty great interactive slo-mo videos on our website that can be controlled frame-by-frame. I don’t know about you guys but I’m sold!” [Discovery Channel]
Exilim EX-FH20: The Next Casio Slo-Mo Shooting Camera
Back in March we raved about Casio’s EX-F1, and it’s just six months later and now Casio’s got another super-fast frame rate camera for us: the EX-F20. It’s a smaller and lighter beast than its predecessor, but it has 9.1-megapixels, can still shoot ultra-high-speed bursts at 40 fps and high speed movies at “up to 1,000 fps” and has a 20x optical zoom, anti-shake, night-scene mode and standard 720p video option. It’s intended to appeal to a broader bunch of users, rather than just camera enthusiasts, so it’s a little simpler than the EX-1, with all the shooting modes on a single dial. It’ll be available in black in stores from October for US$600. Press release below. galleryPost('ex-fh20', 3, '');
