actually, the EX-F1 does not have a 60 fps video mode afaik. It has 30 fields 1080i, 30fps 720p, 30fps standard, 300, 600, and 1200fps

Out of my hybrid, the projectile is little more than a streak. as far as damage, I usually just see a propitiation of white mist. I will link to some videos of my hybrid.

stupid AF focused a good 30 feet beyond what I wanted. At least the grass background is reasonably sharp...

white point and black point adjusted<br /><br />The whole thing was whitish, maybe because they were popping smoke, or maybe because I was at full telephoto.

Shutter time counts too. A short shutter time needs more light, but longer shutter times permit longer motion streaks as shown in this frame of an orange going through a metal screen.

Orange filtered through an expanded metal screen at high speed.  Speed is in the 800 ft/sec range.

For those who like the idea of the EX-F1 but can't justify the cost (like me), casio has a few other options, one of which I intend to purchase soon.

Hopefully I'll be ordering an EX-FC100 once B&H has the package I want back in stock. It's a compact point and shoot with sensor shift image stabilization, 30 images per second bursts, and 30 fps HD video, 210fps video with somewhat less quality, 420 fps with even less, and 1000 fps with very low quality. There is also an almost identical camera called the EX-FS10 which is identical apart from being smaller, having less zoom, and lacking the image stabilization.


For me in Australia it's gonna cost about $500 for the EX-FC100 with some memory cards, a case, a spare battery and an extended waranty from B&H in New York, but for those of you in America it looks like a nice way to get some high-speed footage without spending too much.

It does have some downsides though, mainly noise even at low ISO's and only average image quality.
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

If you can settle for stills, get yourself a nice DSLR, and use a triggered flash to capture the action.

not my flikr, not my pictures, but a good example. She has gone overboard and built a custom 20kv, 500ns flash unit, but the vivitar 283 has been used with great success. With a digital timer, you can plug your camera in via the shutter release and take pictures with moderate ambient light.
