Anyhow, it's a GREAT camera, but at least for me, from Samsung's HMX20 $650 to Casio's Exilim $940 it's a huge difference in price (I'm brazilian so that price is pratically the double in my country's currency). I'm still thinking about it, cause the Casio's 600FPS is in a very acceptable resolution...

As far as I'm aware, the next-cheapest camera capable of 1200FPS costs around $30,000. So the EX-F1 doesn't seem particularly expensive to me, just depends on what you consider the "category". :) Expensive?

It seems that the Casio will let you film for as long as your SD card will allow, which I think is up to 1GB per file. I did some maths a while back, and it seems that this would amount to about 15 minutes of real-time footage. 15 minutes of footage at 1200FPS equals 12 hours when played back at 25FPS. Pretty extensive capabilities, to be sure. Hi Guz. It seems that the Casio will let you film for as long as your SD card will allow, which I think is up to 1GB per file.

That information seems to be impossible to find on the Casio Exilim EX-F1. Sony cams only lets you film in that mode for 3 sec. Samsung's let you film in that mode for 10 sec. How about Casio's? Someone said that it lets you film for as long as the card holds the space, but that seems impossible to me. Anyone have that information?

I haven't really tried upscaling anything BELOW PAL resolution. But given that PAL blown up to HD looks quite good I dunno why 336x96 blown up to PAL shouldn't look good. Has anyone got one of this babies? Send me a clip and I'll try creating a higher rez film by upscaling it in InstantHD I keep thinking this could really be a blast if tried with InstantHD.
