I see Luminous Landscape has this review on the new Casio EX-F1. Not really sure how to classify this little offering from Casio. It seems to suffer/benefit from multiple personality disorder. Is it a still camera? A video camera? Even after reading the extensive review, I’m still not really sure what to call it. At any rate, this type of “hybrid cam” does seem to be the wave of the future.
Luminous Landscape is the premier site for landscape photographers.
Casio’s Time Machine
I call the Casio EX-F1 a time machine for two reasons. The first is that it provides us with a peek into the future of both still photography and video. The second is that it offers many exciting different ways of recording still and moving images, some of which almost seem as if they were designed by H.G. Wells.
The Casio EX-F1 is, I believe, the harbinger of the still and video cameras of tomorrow, and tomorrow is a lot closer than many people think. The old joke has it that today is tomorrow’s yesterday, and if you can get your head around that you’re ready to learn more about the EX-F1.
But be forwarded – though the EX-F1 offers a lot, as we’ll see it also fails to deliver in several key areas.
