Of the many new product announcements at CES (the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas), this one caught my eye today. Casio has announced the EX-FH100 high speed, high zoom compact format camera, with a 10 megapixel backlit CMOS sensor (which is supposedly twice as sensitive as normal CMOS sensors), and a 24-240 equivalent zoom.
Where the "High Speed" comes in though, is a high-burst mode which allows 40 frames per second - yes, you read that right. It also does movies, at 120, 240, 420 and even 1000 FPS. This is simply astounding - I can imagine some awesome bullet-shot-through-apple movies, or water droplets in slow motion.

They've also leveraged the high frame rate for another feature - built in HDR - where multiple shots are combined into one image.
Great to see that they're pushing the boundaries.
