First things first: Casio’s Exilim EX-F1 is not a digital SLR. Although it looks like one, it’s for people who love filming as much as capturing photos. In addition to snapping 6-megapixel still photos, the EX-F1 can fire off up to 60 shots per second, record movies in full HD, and make slow-motion videos using high-speed shooting up to 1,200 frames per second. The EX-F1 was built for people who love action photography or want a camera that can do double duty as a camcorder, and based on our tests, it’s certainly a breakthrough. Looks Like a DSLR Three things make the EX-F1 look like a DSLR: its electronic view finder, its chunky shape—complete with a rubbery ergonomic hand grip—and the long 12X lens. Compared with a DSLR, though, it’s much lighter. At 1.5 pounds, it weighs less than many DSLRs once you factor in their removable lenses. The EX-F1’s nonremovable lens has a rotating ring that you can program to control the focus, burst rate, and zoom factor.
