You can capture in 30-210fps, 420fps, and 1,000fps. At 1,000fps you can catch movement that you cannot see with the naked eye

4 out of 5 stars It's the high-speed that makes it special...   June 29, 2010
Christopher A. Medeiros (LITTLE COMPTON, RI, US)
These other reviews seem to be missing the point. This is the only dsl on the market (that I can find) that will shoot video in 1000 fps mode. This is not a super-high resolution camera, although it takes fine pictures, but it's high-speed capture mode works like a charm. The need for higher levels of light is inherent to hi-speed filming so even videographers working with the most state of the art models will necessarily experience this drawback. If you are looking for an affordable alternative to the multi-thousand dollar hi-speed cameras this is a great choice. If you want a super-high resolution camera, obviously this product isn't what you're looking for.

This camera is slightly hard to find. But is a very respectible point and shoot, if that's how you want to use it. The controls are standard Casio and function well. The only weak area is the 20x zoom. A little shaky without support and the picutes are not of steller quality. Otherwise, a very good camera.

I've tested SLRs, DSLRs, even point and shoot cameras, and nothing compares to speed and picture quality of Casio Exilim EX-FH20. It can shoot HD video as well. Excellent for fast photography. No need to wait seconds for the next shot. It's ready as soon as you click the shutter release.

Considering that small point and shoots these days are 300-400, this camera is more than worth the $600 you may pay for it. It takes really beautiful photos, especially outdoors when the light is nice. I've had a lot of fun playing with it, the screen is nice and large, the menus are easy to use, and the settings are clear and self explanatory.

The 40fps is a lot of fun to play with, and works well. You don't realize at all that you just took 40 pictures, but you did! Low light isn't great, but then most point and shoots aren't great with low light, much less low light with extremely fast shutter speed. So I think this camera does well for what it is.

A lot of fun, nice pictures! Look up reviews on dpreview.com for more extensive specs.

This may be one of the most disappointing products I have ever purchased. Yes it will take forty frames a second but the picture quality is very low, very grainy-- likewise, the video requires so much light that only daytime, outside or highly artificial lighting is workable.

The ability to switch between 30fps and 210fps is a lot of fun and a very nice feature. However, alongside all the weaknesses of the camera I was very upset that I spent the money. Camera may be worth about $200 but certainly not a $500-$600 price point camera.

PEACE
