Casio's new "No shutter lag" cameras!.......

[mypoppy31]

Almost all of my digital cameras are Canon's... and, I've always been annoyed at the "shutter lag" on my Canon point and shoot cameras. My Canon Rebel XT has no shutter lag which is a blessing to me.

But, as true as I am to Canon, if there's a Point and shoot camera out there that's finally done away with this miserable "shutter lag", then by all means, I am interested in buying one.

And it sure looks like there is such a magnificent beast in the new Casio EX FC 100 which boasts a 60 frames per second burst that solves my "shutter lag" problema...

To this humble amateur, it seems that Casio has" moved mountains" with EX FC 100 digital delight!... no, I won't buy one just yet. I'm sure, or almost sure that Canon's digital genius's will be working 24/7 to come out one better than Casio!..

But, this new Casio FC 100 does have its limitations. There's no "Manual, Aperture or Shutter Priority" available in that model. But, I do find that Casio has taken a major step in digital cameras and it will be exciting as I stay tuned to see what the other camera companies come up with.

Shutter lag, in most cases, isn't really that. It's typically focus acquisition delay. Some cameras are worse than others but prefocusing with the half-press helps immensely.

I think the 60fps is basically the movie mode at 1920x1080, so you get basically a 2MP image. That is what you give up vs the full 6MP. This is not surprising.

It will be interesting to see where camera and video cams go. Who knows if canon will come out with a DSLR in a few years that is more focused on video than stills but just have an additional letter a little v at the end. But instead of limited to time on video clips like the 5DII is, it might not have a limit.

I don't really see one do everything well. But multiple bodies that have their niche, like how the 400D, 50D, 5D, 1D, 1Ds all have their niche.
