Casio Computer Co., Ltd., today announced the release of its newest EXILIM® digital camera, the HIGH SPEED EXILIM EX-FH20. This remarkable new camera is capable of ultra high-speed burst shooting at 40 fps and can record high speed movies at up to 1000 fps.

Its speed and ease of use truly puts this camera in a class of its own. In recognition of these unique characteristics, with today's release of
the new EX-FH20, Casio has launched the new HIGH SPEED EXILIM series, which includes this camera and the EX-F1, launched in March 2008. Casio expects the revolutionary capabilities of its HIGH SPEED EXILIM cameras to generate entirely new applications for digital photography.

Priced at £399, the EX-FH20 will be available from October at all good camera stockists.

Key product highlights include:

9.1 effective megapixels and a high power, wide angle zoom lens
The EX-FH20 is equipped with a 26 mm-equivalent wide angle zoom lens that can close in on subjects with a powerful 20x optical zoom. The camera also features a CMOS shift anti-shake functionto support power-zoom shots.

Never miss a photographic opportunity, with high speed burst shooting up to 40 fps
The EX-FH20 can capture action in high definition, 7 megapixel (3072 x 2304 pixel) images with ultra-high speed burst shooting at up to 40 fps. Users can select from seven burst settings, allowing them to capture from 1 fps up to 40 fps in a single burst. Further, users can prerecord up to 40 still images not just at the instant they press the shutter button, but before! Even if they press the shutter a little late, they will still catch that vital moment.

High speed movie recording at up to 1,000 fps
The EX-FH20 can record high speed movie footage of motion too fast for the human eye, for ultra slow motion playback. Users can select from recording speeds of 1,000 fps, 420 fps or 210 fps and can also switch from the standard speed of 30 fps to high speed recording at 210 fps during recording at the touch of a button. The EX-FH20 makes it easy to capture critical moments on video.

Can the Casio Exilim EX-Z77 be used as a webcam?

I've heard that some cameras can be plugged into computers or something of that gist to be used as webcams. Does the Casio Exilim EX-Z77 have that feature? I've looked, read, and even experimented a bit but have yet to succeed. I'm still in denial, though. Haha. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, the Exilim EX-Z77 does not work as a webcam. Casio really missed the boat on that one, as it would have been a tremendous feature with a big value add for the already great camera.
