Casio EX-F1: The Best Prosumer Camera on the Market?

Posted by Jeremy Charette in "Digital Home Talk" @ 07:00 AM


So my girlfriend tells me I'm working too much, and that I need a hobby. Why not photography? Currently I shoot by numbers. As in, if I take hundreds of photos, statistically speaking, at least a couple will be good. Probably not the best approach.

I've been looking at DSLRs, but I keep coming back to the Casio EX-F1. It's not a DSLR in the strictest sense of the word (there's no movable mirror or optical though the lens viewfinder), but it does so much more than a pure DSLR ever will. HD video, ultra high speed video (up to 1200 fps), 60 fps stills, auto exposure bracketing (useful for HDR), 7 fps flash photos...it seems like there's nothing it can't do. It has a hotshoe for an external flash, and can accept standard 62mm lens filters and attachments. The price tag is a little steep at around $1000 USD, but that's comparable to what an entry level DSLR and some good glass would cost.

So, is the EX-F1 the best prosumer camera on the market...or not?
