Casio’s newest performance shooter, the EX-FH20

Casio is making this case: Every time you press the shutter button, your camera captures just one moment. But was it the right moment? For far too many of us, the answer is usually no.

Last January at CES, you might recall my excitement for the Casio EX-F1, a fantastic $999 shooter that captured still images at 60 FPS (frames per second) and movies at 1,200 FPS. The benefit of this kind of speed is capturing *the* moment. Not the one where your kid closed his eyes, not the one where you can’t tell if they hit the ball, but the very instant it happened. It is like an instant recall in photo and video form.

The marketing team at Casio printed the 60 frames they took with the FX1 of a skateboarder doing his thing and put up the pictures for all to see. In that one second, you could see some great shots and the other 58 or so were what I normally end up with: missed moments. The FX1 could almost be considered a time machine allowing you to go back and pick the right moment.

Casio has done it again with the new EX-FH20.
