Casio Exilim EX-ZR100 Review
Review posted 7/5/2011
Casio leads the market with High-Speed compact cameras, and their Exilim EX-ZR100 is no exception. This pocket-sized camera boasts a 12-megapixel CMOS image sensor mated to a dual core "Exilim Engine HS Processor", which allows it to offer ridiculous fast shooting performance, with continuous shooting speeds up to 40fps at 10-megapixels, or 10fps at 12-megapixels. You can even choose the frame rate between 3 and 30 or 40 fps (depending on the mode chosen). Even movie mode offers high-speed options, up to 1000fps!
Other appealing qualities of the EX-ZR100 include a wide 12.5x optical zoom lens, SR digital zoom, a 3.0-inch LCD with 460k dots, in-camera HDR and HDR-Art modes, Full 1080p HD video recording, Prerecord function in both stills and video, and 360 degree "Slide Panorama" mode.
