Personal Review: Casio Exilim EX-F1 6MP 12x Zoom 2.8-Inch
LCD Pro Digital Camera with CMOS Shift Image Stabilization

It comes with a 150 page manual. In readable (mostly) English. A zillion
options. One very nice feature, you can program it to remember most
settings. If you want the flash to stay off (which I need most of the time)

you can set it to do that, even if you turn it off and on. It seems to have
good sensitivity, the image stabilizer works quite well.
As a still camera, about average. As a video camera, a lot for the money. It
shoots normal video, HD (1080p, 60 Hz) and fast video, up to 1200 fps.
Low resolution above 300 fps, good for things that go bump, not for fancy
presentations. The 30-300 fps adjustable setting is not so convenient, you
have to set the frame rate each time you shoot. It should be
programmable. The 300 fps fixed setting has a resolution of about
512x390, good enough for most sports work.
A comment on pixels. The Ex-F1 has a 6 Mp sensor. You can get a lot
more than that for less money, but it's more marketing than real. You have
to look at the sensor (CCD/CMOS) size. Real world lenses are limited to
about 100 line pairs per mm in what they can resolve. Based on the specs
for the Ex, it tries to get 200 lp/mm. So, not real. My little Olympus P&S is
over 400 lp/mm. You just can't get there. Fewer pixels for a given chip size
usually means better light sensitivy. That helps more than anything else.
For my use, mostly in sports, a very good compromise. The CS prerecord
mode is very good. You can get 60 full resolution frames before you press
the shutter. It stores them in internal memory and saves after you press
the shutter. So you can see what happened just before (up to 60 fps,
programmable) With a 16Gbyte SD card, about $25, you can save over
4500 full resolution pictures.
