EX-FC100WE user reviews

"As a simple point and shoot, this camera delivers a ton of options geared towards non-experienced photographers, meaning, no manual controls. But on the flip-side it gives you a whole bunch of custom shooting modes. Almost to the point where it feels like a type of pseudo-manual control. Instead of setting you aperture to wide open for portraits, you just set it for portrait shooting. Instead of setting a high shutter speed at your kid's soccer game, you set it to high-speed sports. I can live with that.

As for video, the title of this review sums it up. Don't expect to shoot anything of real quality with this camera. First of all, you need a lot of light. Otherwise, the noise is pretty bad. Secondly, this being a CMOS sensor, the jello-effect is pretty pervasive. Plan on using a tripod or monopod whenever possible. Handheld footage is pretty awful, even with the stabilizer turned on.

Despite this, I did have fun recording my golf swing at 210fps. And when it comes down to it, this camera is meant for fun and it delivers. "

"First off, prior to owning this camera I owned a casio ex-z75, not a bad camera but it had some problems at the end. No for the ex-fc100 I am very impressed with the picture quality and the ability to slow down time to get that perfect shot. Another thing that I have found most amazing is the ability to shoot video at 1000, 420 or 210 fps. The only fault is the darkness created at these frame rates. I also like how it only takes a second to turn on the camera in case I ever needed to take a picture in a hurry that would be great to have.

After mentioning pros you probably are looking for a some cons, The first one is the size of the video at 1000fps, but what more can i expect at that speed?, another fault is the darkness created at these frame rates. I would have more faults but I haven't spent enough time to discover them all.

If you do purchase this it may take a while to learn "

"So far so good. Very easy to use and I learn more each time I use it. The slow motion video at 1000 FPS is amazing, just wish it was larger on screen of computer. Only draw back so far is that I use an Apple computer and they don't have software for Apple yet. You can use your iPhoto but not the you tube app. They say it's coming this month but we'll see "

--- Jack R. Headley rated: 5

"I love this camera. I have a six month old puppy and this allows me to capture beautiful images and slow motion video of her as she plays with her friends. I would imagine if you have an active child or want to shoot anything with fast moving subjects you're going to love this camera. The HD video is gorgeous as well. If these features aren't a requirement, you can get a comparable camera for half the price. "
