Casio Developing Worlds Fastest-Shooting Digital CameraCasio announced today that it is developing an entirely new digital camera with unseen high speed performance and image capture functions that make the most of its cutting-edge digital technologies.
This 6.0 megapixel, 12x optical zoom, high performance digital camera prototype with CMOS-shift image stabilization function offers not only ultra high speed burst shooting for still images, but also high speed movie recording. The camera will be able to take still images at an astonishing shooting speed of 60 frames per second, to catch fast-moving subjects at the crucial moment. It will also take movies that capture movement so fast (300 fps) that it cannot even be seen by the human eye. This ultra high speed capture will allow it to record movies for replay in ultra-slow motion, a function that has only been possible so far with a limited range of professional movie equipment. The first prototype will be on display at the IFA, a consumer electronics trade show, in Berlin, Germany, which opens on August 31, 2007.
