Has anyone tried the Casio EX-F1 yet?

60 FPS in 6 Megapixals adn HD Camcorder, I am wondering if this is the camera for me to take ski shots. I am asking as a JONG not wanting to take the next cover shot of Powder but sick of missing shots. I also like the idea of a video option. It would have to be mostly automatic as I am not very camera savvy. Basically think of me as a poor rifleman asking if I am better off with a minigun 'cause I ain't going to hit shit with a sniper rifle.

i tried it in the store, and it is pretty cool
the movie mode is reportedly not great though
the strobe flash is awesome
i just dont know if it is worth 1000 dollars

One of the guys at work bought one, he was thinking about taking it back, but decided to keep it. Some of the slow-mo videos that he shot are pretty cool. I keep telling him that he should slow-mo his gf doing nude jumping jacks...Maybe he has and just doesn't want to share.

My problem with the EX-F1 is that the slow motion videos are smaller then Standard-Def, if it shot full size NTSC or HD I would think about getting one.

StuntCok, it's not the smallest camera so it might be a hassle to carry while skiing. I've had good luck with the Canon Powershots SD models for small pocket cameras, it's what I've carried whenever we've gone skiing. I've had a Powershot SD400 and now carry a Powershot SD800. They're no comparison to my good Canon 40D, but they fit in a pocket and do a pretty good job for that they are.

I was sold at slo-motion nude jumping jacks...

If anyone has one in the seattle area I have a project that could get you some ski benefits.

I just bought one and am going to try it out at the water ramps this weekend.
