Wow! You young punks have no idea. There I was in high school in Orinda in the late 1960s, with a Bell & Howell 70 DR that had a key to wind up the spring. I could go to 128 frames/per/second on 16 mm. Kodachrome, ASA 25. Catch a bird flapping its wings on a bush. It was a big deal. Had to have a 16 mm. projector as well...And don't get me started on the Kodak development fees, at their facility on Page Mill Road in Menlo Park...You fuckin' little punks have no idea what we media pioneers went through. No fuckin' idea at all.

Hey wait I'm about to market my own camera that takes wholly indistinguishable photos and video and I'm even considering pricing it at about $100 more then this one so just wait a little bit longer or you can also just send me money and I guarentee you won't won't be disappointed.

Question from a photog: Did you use the same light levels for all of the videos or did you try and meet the light requirements of 1200fps video by adding more light sources?

That 1200fps might be at least a little useful if you have the proper lighting - hence the reason for my question.

oh - the music sucks, imho.

@beyondthetech: that had to have a scorpion type feature where it throws a spear at the tomatoe and screams get over here and gets diced up nicely for a baraka kind of feel with the end of the guy yellinq finish him as the blender suddenly unveils its finishing move and starts attacking violently to end it with a fatality. =]

Here's the song and a video of it:

But anyways, nice camera...just poor video and high FPS.
Casio's have never been "great" imo, just a general consumer camera.

My favorites are Nikon and Canon, man Canon has some nice consumer cameras with a fast shutter speed!

burningsensation — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:17:41 EDT

you'll definitely improve the 1200fps videos (and the 600fps ones too) by adding more light. Some work lamps with high-wattage bulbs would work best.

Okay, it's pretty clear now...

the three precursors of a bad outcome are:
1. bedwetting
2. fascination with fire
3. cruelty to animals....

And what to do find in the backpacks of those above children who make it to young adulthood?

1. A copy of "Catcher in the Rye"
2. An mp3 of "Mmm, what'cha say"

andrelix — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 11:51:55 EDT

So I am a 16 year old cheerleader and I want to film myself and my closest friends beating the shit out of someone so I can post it on youtube. Now the big questions, do I use 300 fps or 600 fps. I obviously don't want to use the 1200 since it won't provide enough resolution to clearly identify me or my compadres. Damn, I hope both my step-parents will buy this for me for Christmas, it will be sooooo bitchen!!!

frigg — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 10:13:40 EDT

While the 1200fps is hard to watch, in many ways, I could see that version used the most in future campaigns: the efforts of the tomato to resist the slashing blades... the fruitless (fruited?) struggle... the relentless violence... the reduction of flesh to pulp... the spilling of juice. It's hard to imagine anyone who's watched that ever ordering Gazpacho again in a restaurant.

If that had been a bass instead of a tomato, forget about ordering a bass milkshake in a Dairy Queen ever again.

The Exilim EX-F1 isn't just a camera. It's an instrument of culinary revolution!!!
