Can you and TeddyIrons (who both have the EXFC-100) tell me how it is as a normal camera? I was thinking of getting my wife a new camera for her birthday, and I know I would love the Casio for golf purposes, but it has to be a decent camera for normal photos as well or I don't think I'll get away with this!
I haven't used it enough to see whether it's OK as a normal camera. It seems pretty good to me for what I've used it for so far - golf swings and standard photos. There are lots of scene options that you can get to very quickly using the BS button (e.g. night shot, country scenery, sport, etc). It's also quite easy to edit your movies once you get the hang of it, on the camera. One thing that has bewildered me a little is that there is a youtube setting but I can't work out where the advantage is because the movies seem the same to me. Videos in standard and high def seem quite large in terms of Megabytes. It doesn't seem to have an time delay feature for taking photos (maybe I just haven't found that option?) which can be useful. Overall I'd say it's as good as any other compact camera that I've had. It's quicker at taking photos than many others, and you have the option of taking 60 photos in 1 second (or is it 30?). Overall I like it so far and would buy it for my wife if she was looking for a decent camera with the possibility of meddling with the settings.
One word of warning - although the slow mo is very good with 220 and 420 fps, on a full swing the club head will still be a blur at impact if you freeze the playback - you need a more expensive camera to see that. For a chip shot the blur is not noticeable.
