Casio EX-FH20, much discussed on this forum. 1 year ago it was around $600.00. Got mine for X-Mas. I paid $274.95 on Amazon. I have a cam-corder, but this is the way to go. 210 frames per second, or 420 fps.
Brian uses a Casio to shoot swings at the 420 fps setting. Talk about slo-mo!

Careful if you get that camera to have the HD in video. I have not had too much success with in in that regard.
You may look at the sanyo slow motion camera. Not as good on the slow mo but better on the video camera aspect. And better HD too. 1080 p instead of 720 p like casio.

i'm no expert but i've just bought an ex fc100, only used it once briefly but the weather has been terrible since i got it and it seems it needs pretty good light to work at all.
also i've read somewhere, after i acquired it, that while its a cheap way to see your swing in slow mo it can't actually get good club position shots? so its really inexpensive but perhaps the FH20 might be better?

For recreational use, you can't beat the Casio line.

High-speed movie recording at up to 1,000 fps
The EX-FH100 can record high-speed movies at 1,000 fps, 420 fps, 240 fps, or 120 fps. The camera also boasts a function that allows users switch to high-speed recording at 240 fps or 120 fps by pressing a single button during normal movie recording (30 fps). The high-speed recording function also allows users to enjoy dramatic ultra slow-motion playback.*2

"High-speed movie recording at up to 1,000 fps
The EX-FH100 can record high-speed movies ....."
Looks like this new model is only slightly more expensive, $50 or so), than the EXFH-20, but you give up some zoom. It has 10x versus 20x in the FH-20. There is also the FH-25 for about $100 more. Looks like this one is the replacement for the FH-20. Both have more mega-pixels and you would think that there are other improvements. However, according to Amazon, neither camera has been released yet.
Glad I got mine before the pipeline ran dry.

Deal-maker. (clincher)
I'm gonna pick one of these up. Thought I should wait and see the new models. Glad I did...sounds like the new FH100 has some great improvements.

Deal maker for me also.Too bad we might have to wait until april.
The compact size to take to the course,adjustable shutter,great low light ability,and the new 120 fps mode makes it just about perfect.

Casio Exilim Hi Speed
i just got the new casio ex fh100 is the ducks nuts.
$375, i like the compact size.
The new fx 25 is bigger, but not any better as far as I can tell, (i may well be corrected here...)
It does HD
Can we talk settings?, because it has all kinds...not wanting to jack the thread, but it may help with buying decisions....
I have been fooling with some different stuff, 240,420fps, burst shooting, youtube upload @240etc .......it has loads of options, but wonder what is optimal,
what do you casio users use for settings?
Does anyone use it to capture ball roll for putting?
How do you get really clean shots of club at impact?
I have played with 1000fps trying to get slowmo of the impact area, but havent been too sucessful so far.

Got to My TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) - Your Source for Golf Fitness, Exercises and Health and they have a quick start guide on how to set up the casio f1 & fh20. I have to assume the same settings will apply. Once you log in (it is free if you do not have an account) click on the learning technology and it should be the first article you see.

I hope I don't thread jack, so hopefully this is relevant to the OP as well...
How are these cameras for taking regular photos? My wife wants a new camera, and I am trying to convince her that one of the Casios will be the way to go. I don't know much about photography, so you may have to dumb-down any advice. Cheers.

When I think Casio's I think ONLY high speed. You can get much better quality from a "normal" camera. I was also trying to find a "do it all" camera with high quality and they just don't exist. Unless of course you have like 50K or something.
I guess it's really up to you (obviously). What kind of quality are you looking for? Do you have kids and you want to preserve moments or do you just want to take a snapshot of something.
That has always been the case with Casio cameras...until now.They had the high speed functions but took below average photos compared to other cameras in its class.It seems the latest generation of Casios have fixed that.The FC150 and the FH100 got pretty good reviews for their photo quality.It might have something to do with their back illuminated sensors.Having said that,if you really want good photos you should be buying an SLR camera,not a point and shoot.Even the best compact camera will not come close to an SLR.

It's more than fine for home camera. 9 megapixels which is not the highest but for example the camera I replace was only 5 megapixels and it took good photos, the casio takes fine photos. I have two sd cards for work and for family. The 40 frames per second photos are great for missing a daughters smile etc and they still come out at like 7 megapixels. Unless she is a photo bug she won't know the difference.
