Digital videocam capable of slow-motion video?

March 20, 2009 9:54 AM

Can you suggest a video camera for recording slow-motion video?

I'd like to find a digital camera that can record at an increased frame rate (300fps? 600fps? more?) and output at 30fps.

The only one I've found on my own is the Casio Exilim EX-F1, which seems to record 1200fps at 336x96 or 60fps at 1920x1080.

Are there any other possibilities? Used gear is OK, I'd like to get something for as cheap as possible since this is for entertainment purposes only and not something academic.

Best answer: I've looked around and as far as I can tell the only option for less than several thousand dollars is the Casio Exilim. There are several models of the Exilim that are cheaper than the EX-F1.

A friend of mine does a lot of stuff with his Casio Exilim. Check them out here.
