On the upside my last Casio EXZ750 has OUTSTANDING battery life. Seriously took it to Florida for a week and used it every day. Never needed to recharge and it still had 3 bars on the way home. I don't know how they did it in that camera but I've had it for about 4 years and probably fully recharged it maybe a dozen times. I hope these cams have that "technology".

I'm still pretty positive about these though. That 1000fps sounds so fun. Wonder what the resolution is on that though. Their last 1000fps was like 176x96 or something...]]>Jan 8th 2009 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/Jan 8th 2009 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/
I wonder if the 30fps burst is layered or consecutive? For instance, if the shutter speed is slower than 1/30s, can it still maintain a 30fps burst? I will ask around about this.]]>Jan 8th 2009 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/Jan 8th 2009 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/
So right now I want the following items set for 2009 releases (with est. street prices):
a) the best consumer/prosumer handheld HD camcorder ($800-$1100?)
b) EX-FC100 ($325?)
c) Olympus e-system micro four-thirds retro camera
d) Pentax k2000 (if it retro-fits to my old Pentax SLR lenses... I need to find that out)

Who wants to give me a loan?]]>Jan 8th 2009 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/
Just be aware of the 1.5x crop factor.]]>Jan 8th 2009 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/Jan 8th 2009 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/
You obviously know a lot more about this than I do, 'cause I have no clue what you're talking about. Can you point me in the direction of an online piece of literature that will explain what this "crop factor" thing is?

The link above goes into greater detail, but basically it's like this: The sensor in all but the most high end dSLRs are smaller than the popular 135 (35mm) film negative. Because of that, the field of view you get for a given focal length is narrower. You can think of this almost like cropping off the edges of a photo. "Crop factors" are a convenient way to estimate how much narrower the view will be, by figuring an equivalent focal length that would produce the same view on film. For example if you multiply 50mm by a crop factor of 1.5, you get 75mm. So that means a 50mm lens will give you roughly the same view as a 75mm on your film SLR.]]>Jan 10th 2009 12:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/Jan 13th 2009 8:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/Jan 8th 2009 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/Jan 8th 2009 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/Jan 8th 2009 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/Jan 8th 2009 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/Jan 8th 2009 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/Jan 8th 2009 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/Jan 8th 2009 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/Jan 8th 2009 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/08/casios-ex-fs10-and-ex-fc100-compacts-burst-faster-than-your-dsl/Jan 8th 2009 5:23PM
