Casio exhibited their impressive little EX-FS10 point-and-shoot back in January at CES 2009 and now, it edges a little closer to consumer hands with release dates and a pre-order listings on Amazon. The Exilim EX-FS10 can fire off 30fps in high-speed Burst Mode, which Casio claim is faster than even SLRs can achieve.
The EX-FS10 comes with a 9.1-megapixel resolution, 3x optical zoom and a 2.5-inch LCD and can record high-speed videos at up to 1000fps. The burst mode will capture 30fps at a generous 6-megapixels each, so you’ll want a memory card with a decent capacity to store all those images on. The 0.6-inch thin digicam has a YouTube mode for easy uploads and can also record in 720p high definition, which makes it a good alternative to gadgets like Creative’s Vado HD and Flip Video’s MinoHD.
The new Exilim will be officially available in Japan on March 27 and the UK on April 13, so a US release should not be far off. The EX-FS10 has a pre-order price of $349.99 | £299.99.
I wonder if Casio will add high burst rate shooting to their Exilim cameraphone in the future? That thing is a dream gadget.
