Casio Exilim EX-FC100

Lots of point-and-shoot cameras are available these days, and while you have many very good camera choices, it's hard not to feel like they're all mostly the same. Occasionally, though, something unique comes along, and the Casio Exilim EX-FC100...

Excellent high-speed shooting features ; Good image quality

Artifacts in regular video footage ; Trouble focusing at full zoom

Unique high-speed features make this a great camera for action shooters, but it's not the best model for normal video.

Casio Exilim EX-FC100

Casio's Exilim EX-FC100 gives you more chances to capture the moment than almost any other compact camera.

5X optical zoom lens. Captures photos before shutter button is pressed. Records video in 720p30 HD and in slow motion. Integrated Eye-Fi support helps preserve battery life.

Pricey. Images are less sharp than those of competitively priced cameras. Purple fringing in high-contrast areas. Boots slowly.

Casio EX-FC100 Review

The new Casio EX-FC100 is quite unlike any other compact digital camera currently available. On the face of it, the FC100 is just another good looking, well-made, pocketable digicam, with a 9 megapixel sensor, 5x optical zoom lens, and a 2.7-inch LCD...

The Casio EX-FC100 is certainly one of the most innovative compact cameras of 2009, with an obvious focus on capturing fast-moving subjects and helping you not to miss that decisive moment. The ability to shoot 30 images in one second at the touch of a...

Review: Casio EX-FC100 digital camera

After the release of Casio's EX-FH20 digital camera, it was only a matter of time until the company trickled down the technology of high-speed shooting and HD video capture to a pocketable point-and-shoot. The FH-20, as you recall, is Casio's follow-up...

Casio Exilim EX-FC100

The Casio Exilim EX-FC100 takes the impressive speed of the EX-F1 and EX-FH20 and squeezes it into a much smaller, $330 package. It shoots nine-megapixel images, or six-megapixel photos at 30fps. It can also record slow motion video at 1000fps (224x64...

The strength of the EX-FC100 is obviously in its extreme speed. In other features it was noticeably lacking, including its pedestrian LCD, cramped controls, and illogical menu system. However, many of these small problems pale beside the ability to...

Casio EX-FC100

While it had some issues with image quality, the high speeds are a powerful draw

Ludicrously high-speed slow-motion

1000 fps mode is all but useless; No manual controls; Mediocre color, noise, and resolution

The Casio Exilim EX-FC100 is an utter speed demon of a camera, to the extent we’re tempted to put chrome rims and a spoiler on it. The ability to capture still photographs at 30 frames per second, and slow-motion video at up to 1000 fps, in a far more...

Review: Casio Exilim EX-FC100 digital camera

It's the high-speed shooting features that really set the Exilim EX-FC100 from other point-and-shoot cameras. Otherwise, it's a very capable device, offering all of the features you'd expect in a compact, pocket-size camera.

As a point-and-shoot camera, the EX-FC100 is fairly typical: it has a 9-megapixel sensor, allowing you to extract large prints from your images, a 5x optical zoom for extra telephoto reach, a stabilized sensor for sharper handheld shooting, and all of...

Casio Exilim EX-FC100 Slow-Mo Pocket Cam: Lightning Review

The Gear: Casio's EX-FC100 is a slimmed-down pocketable version of its chunky slow-mo cams. It looks like a standard 9MP 5x-zoom shooter at first, but does tricks we haven't seen before.

Similar to the more expensive, chunkier EX-F1, the EX-FC100 has three modes, but this time, they're 210, 420 and 1000 frames per second. It's fewer frames than the big boy, but it gets the job done. It's even got the "she walked into the room" setting,...

Casio EXILIM EX-FC100

Casio is breaking new ground with the EXILIM EX-FC100, but is the bang worth the buck?

Digital cameras have come a long way very quickly, with phenomenal capabilities and incredible technological features being expected from even the most mundane models now. The Casio EXILIM EX-FC100 fits the mold of an advanced digital camera, but it is...
