Casio Exilim EX-FS10 and EX-FC100 Cameras

Casio introduced two interesting point and shoot cameras at the just concluded CES. Interesting because these light and compact cameras can record video with a frame rate of at least 1000 fps, which is impressive for light point and shoot cameras. Casio has paid heed to the market requirement for a slim camera and the 9-megapixel EX-FC100 and EX-FS10 cameras are a result of their research and effort to shrink the hardware and circuitry to fit in a slim body.

Although the FC100 and FS10 essentially have the same feature set; the FC100 is the higher-end model and comes with a 5X zoom lens plus a sensor-shift optical stabilizer. The FS10 is the sleeker model and and comes with a 3X zoom and no stabilization. Features common to the two models include 30fps burst shooting at 6 megapixels; Lag Correction, and a user-determined prerecord interval. A slow motion preview lets you pick the best frame to save. You can also record 720p movies on both cameras.

The two cameras will be available from March onwards. The EX-FS10 will cost $349.99 and come in blue, gray, red, and white colors. The EX-FC100 will cost $399.99 and be available in gray and white.
