Casio EX-ZR100, Exilim Flagship Camera

[CES 2011] The Casio Exilim EX-ZR100 unveiled at CES is powered by the new dual-processors Exilim Engine HS to offer enhanced high-speed shooting, a feature that has made the Casio Exilim family famous. The EX-ZR100 boasts a 12.1 megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor that performs well in low-light conditions, a 3-inch LCD and a 12.5x optical zoom with a focal length of 24mm-300mm (35mm film equivalent). The Multi Frame SR Zoom technology extends the zoom’s capabilities to the equivalent of a 25x optical zoom.

On the video capture side, the sensor-shift stabilization technology delivers 1920×1080 full-HD video recording at 30 frames-per-second (fps) with continuous auto focus, while the Exilim Engine HS provides .37 second shot-to-shot time, slow-motion video recording (up to 1,000 fps) and high-speed burst shooting (up to thirty 10 MP images at up to 40 fps). The Casio EX-ZR100 will be available in black in March 2011 for $299.99.

“The EX-ZR100 combines our most advanced imaging technologies and is indicative of the level of innovation that consumers can expect from Casio. This is a camera that we’re proud to call our flagship model for 2011.” said Toshi Iguchi, Senior General Manager, Digital Imaging Division, Casio America Inc
