Casio EX-F1 Captures Battlebot Devastation In Super Slow-Mo

Our friend Robert Woodhead is at it again: He took his battlin' bot Totally Offensive—and his trusty Casio Exilim EX-F1—to Carolina Combat Robots for some "test procedures" in preparation for the RoboGames in San Francisco June 13-15. End result: Mayhem ensuing at 300 frames per second, with some sparks flying, some parts flying and some fax machines and other stand-in electronics getting shizammed to oblivion. Grab a sandwich and press play, cuz you'll probably watch this four-minute fest of cyberviolence a few times. And remember, this was only a test! Thanks again, Robert! [Robert Woodhead]

More Casio EX-F1 Slow Motion: BB Guns and Frisbees

I know we've been raving on about the Casio Exilim EX-F1 camera and its amazing high-speed shooting capabilities. And I know: we've shown you lots of very nifty footage indeed, including some shot by the lucky Wilson, who actually got to play with the thing. But we've not shown you this footage before, made by a reader and starring a BB-gun, a can, some wildlife and a dog with a frisbee. It's amazing, and it's a quiet Sunday, so check it out. It got me wondering what I'd film if I had one of these cams to hand. I decided I'd capture the old "custard powder on a stove flame" trick. What would you film for some super slo-mo action, guys? [Trivue— Thanks Larry]

Mo' Slow-Mo: Objects Breaking (or Not) for the Casio EX-F1

Our friend Robert Woodhead (of slow-mo Mentos-n-Coke fame) has kindly shared another of his Casio Exilim EX-F1 masterpieces, this time water balloons and china slowly shattering (and occasionally not shattering) to the tune of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. They're a mixture of 300, 600 and 1200 frame-per-second shots, set up in an uncomfortably vertical version of widescreen (tallscreen?), but they sure are fun. When will the slow-mo clips cease? you ask. Never, that's when. [Robert Woodhead]

Mentos and Diet Coke Explosion at 1200fps: Casio EX-F1 Strikes Again

Giz reader Robert Woodhead combined two things that I just can't seem to get sick of seeing: Stuffing Mentos into Diet Coke bottles and the super-slow-mo action of Casio's EX-F1 camera to create this stunningly beautiful video. More »

Casio Exilim EX-F1 Slow-Mo Super Cam Full Review (Verdict: Totally Unique, Shockingly Powerful)

OK, say it: What the hell? What's with all the Casio EX-F1 love? It's because this camera is the most underrated gadget to hit the market in at least a year—the camera fiend's equivalent of a jungle gym, with slow-mo, super slow-mo, high-speed stills, and simultaneous HD video and full-resolution still shooting, to name a few of its unique talents. If you're a nature lover, an explosion lover, a blender lover, a party goer, a pet owner, a parent, grandparent, godparent, secret agent or all-around creepy stalker type, it will rock your little tiny world. It's not flawless, but damn if it's not a beautiful and one-of-a-kind invention. More »

DIY Discovery Channel: Casio EX-F1 Slow-Mo Cam In My Backyard

Tomato violence only marks the beginning of my love affair with the Casio's Exilim EX-F1, aka the Hiro Nakamura supercam. It's crazy addictive. Last weekend I went looking for fast-moving objects to capture in slow-mo, and in my backyard I came up with a freakin' menagerie of unexpectedly interesting little beasties. More »

Casio Exilim EX-F1: Tomato Violence at 300, 600 and 1200fps

What's the first thing we did with our Casio Exilim EX-F1, the Hiro Nakamura camera/camcorder that makes time stand still? We recorded a mini Cuisinart laying havoc to some tomatoes. Why? If you have to ask, you probably shouldn't be here. The top vid is a view of the carnage at 300 frames per second. (As you'll see, I call my food processor "Hitchcock" because it's always keeping me in suspense.) Below, additional tomatoes get annihilated at 600fps and then 1200fps, with increasing detail, but decreasing resolution and light. More »

Casio Announces More Skinny, Probably Mediocre EXILIM Point-and-Shoots

Casio just announced some new point-and-shoots in its EXILIM line, including the "world's smallest and thinnest 10-megapixel camera," the EX-S10. Look, I'm as excited as the next guy that you've managed to make a 15-mm-wide camera, but if it takes crappy photos I could really care less how small it is. And with the EXILIM line already known for having a bit of a form-over-function problem, I'm pretty skeptical that this thing can hang with cameras that aren't quite so thin. Hit the jump for the presser with details on this and the rest of the new point-and-shoots.

Casio Exilim 720, Possessed by Hello Kitty

Some Casio Exilim 720's have gotten dressed up by their cruel, older sisters in wuss gear. Rebranded the Hello Kitty Camera, the device still takes 7.2MP pictures, but it's been covered in pink and stickers and evilness. AND during startup, the camera makes weird, gross Hello Kitty noises and shows weird, gross Hello Kitty pictures. For those into weirdness, the Japan exclusive will run you $400. Go pick one up while your friends plan the intervention/your long-term disappearance. More »

First 360 View of the 300FPS Mystery Casio Exilim,

We just stopped by Casio's booth to get our eyes on the new Exilim we told you about earlier today. Shooting a drool-worthy 60fps bursts and 300fps of VGA video, it's a beefy camera—definitely heftier than my Rebel XTi (from what we could see through the glass).

Something you won't see in the press release: this isn't a real SLR since no mirror is used. So internally it resembles a point-and-click more than its dSLR competition. Prototype spec dump after the jump.

Casio's Exilim Cam Lets You Shoot 300 Frames Per Second, MythBusters-Style

Casio EX-V8 has 16:9 Format, Better Definition

The best thing about Casio's latest Exilim, the Hi-Zoom EX-V8, is the new 16:9 video format, which pumps the recording resolution to 848 x 480 pixels, using the H.264 Advanced Video Codec. Like the previous models, these can send videos directly to YouTube, but now in panoramic format. Specs after the jump. More »

Casio Exilim Coming out in Pink - Again. This Time for Breast Cancer

Pink is a four-letter word—as is cancer. This October, Casio is bringing out a rose-tinted version of its Exilim EX-Z75 in order to raise awareness for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. How nice, I thought, a big corp doing something for lady-bumps. And then I remembered that the EX-Z75 was already out in a blush-colored hue. More »

New Casio Exilim Cameras Have YouTube Capture Mode and Easy YouTube Uploading

Casio today announced it was getting cozy with YouTube, introducing two Exilim cameras that will have a YouTube Capture mode—640x480 H.264 video at 30 frames per second—plus bundled YouTube Uploader for Casio software that boasts "three easy steps." The sleek 8.1-megapixel Exilim Card EX-S880 will come in red or black for $299.99; the slightly larger 7.2-megapixel Exilim Zoom EX-Z77 will come in black, blue, pink or silver for $229.99. Both will be available in August. And eBay lovers never fear: the eBay Best Shot mode you may love (or not know about) is still a camera feature. More »

Casio Exilim EX-Z1200SR, a Smarter Me-Too Point and Shooter

What's this, worldwide 12-megapixel camera day? First we hear about Panasonic's 12.2-megapixel camera, and now Casio joins the fun with its Exilim EX-Z1200SR, a 12.1-megapixel point-and-shooter with a 2.8-inch viewscreen that's slightly larger than Panasonic's 2.5-incher, but with a slower rapid-fire shooting rate—just 3fps versus that blazing 8fps of the Panasonic model we mentioned earlier today. But this Casio is pretty smart, detecting moving objects and then setting the shutter speed and ISO accordingly. Neat stuff. More »

Casio EWC-10: Exilim Case for Snorkelers and Beach Bums

Casio has brought out a waterproof casing for its Exilims EX-Z65 and EX-Z75. However, it will only go down to 10 feet, so it's more suited for the snorkelers among you rather than scuba divers. The cute flame-colored housing does, however, protect against sand, which could be useful if you're always dropping things (I am) and planning on spending summer down at the beach (I'm not). – Ad Dugdale More »

Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z75: Easy to Use, Slim and Trim

If Casio's flagship point-and-shoot digital camera, the Exilim Zoom EX-Z1050 is going to break the bank at $451, take a look at its slightly less-capable family member, the Exilim Zoom EX-Z75 which will cost about $100 less than that. It's got 7.2 megapixels (instead of 10.1) and a 3x optical zoom while keeping a similar slim form factor and the 2.6-inch viewscreen of its more-capable sibling. More »
