The Casio Exilim series is known for it cameras having the traits of a simple point-and-shoot camera but with amazing, high speed capabilities. The Casio EX-ZR10 houses some heavy specs for such a small, seemingly weak camera. As an update to the previously blogged Casio, this new point-and-shoot offers a generous back-illuminated 12.1 megapixel sensor, the Exilim Engine HS, 28mm 7x zoom lens, an automatic panorama option and a newfangled burst mode that enables up to 30 shots of 10 megapixel images to be taken, with high-speed burst shooting at a maximum speed of 40 shots per second!!!
Remember the 720p HD that we mentioned with the previous Casio? Well, this newer camera of the series has the ability to shoot a commendable video resolution of up to 1080p! Also, the benefits of this camera that exceed the previous include: n an SD / SDHC / SDXC card slot, ISO range of 100 to 3200 and a rechargeable battery. If that's not enough for you techies, it will at least overwhelm those who are on a budget, as this camera is selling for only around $250.00!
Worried about fitting in the high speed? No problem. Casio packed in 240 frames per second (fps) and 480 fps capture rates at respectable resolutions. Here is a youtube example featuring this technology:
