Fun little camera for shooting slow-mo.
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 w...

Auto Focus does not work during Video.
I have a 4 year old Casio EX-Z750 that I love, so I know something about what a great camera Casio can make. This one fell short for me because of one simple reason. Auto Focus does not work during Standard or HD movies. A bigger problem is that you can't even get focused and then start videoing because it has something called "Fixed Focal Length". This is technical jargon for "We were too lazy to do the focus right." My 4 year old Casio EX-Z750 auto focuses during video. The videos that th...

Casio Exilim FC100 = FUN
Just received this little powerhouse today and have already made a panorama and a high speed video. Really easy, and just really a fun little camera - and it has its flaws, of course.
One quick note: you must feed this camera LIGHT, especially in the high-speed video and 30fps burst modes. Expecting anything decent indoors or at night and you'll be disappointed. The regular still pictures are fine, though. I viewed plenty of high speed clips on YouTube and indoors you will get flicker...

Great slo-mo camera, but don't order from ANTOnline.
My coach has this camera and the slow motion video he has been able to capture is incredible. Even at the 400 frames per second setting motion is slowed down incredibly. Sports motions that happen so fast you can't really see them are now easily seen. Anyway, I couldn't wait to get one of my own so I purchased from ANTOnline since at this time many sellers are only pre-ordering.
ANTOnline sent me an email saying that my order was lost in transit from their regional warehouse to t...

Mediocre camera
We bought this knowing casio is not even close to canon. having owned canon for the past 5 years we were excited with the new features advertised by casio. In short, it's a great concept with little value. Slow motion: in our opinion this is something you will use a few times. It works, but the quality is poor. You'll end up with an average camera the rest of the time. If you want quality, go with the leaders.

High speed video, for around $300=Unbelievable!
First and foremost just the fact that you can get a camera for under $300 that will take 1000FPS video is enough to buy this camera. Find me anywhere where you can get this type of performance in a camera in the $300 price range, I think you will find that it is impossible. I just don't believe that the naysayers understand the kind of incredible performance this camera is capable of. This is a one of a kind camera that is at a price that is unheard of.
Having said that, the quality of the...

Slow-motion footage is awesome!
I've owned a lot of digital cameras, but bought the EX-FC100 for its slow-motion capabilities, which are truly incredible. It will shoot 210fps--7x realtime--at a respectable 480x360 pixels, and you can watch the cat react to a bouncing BB, or shoot gorgeous footage of liquids splashing. But it really gets going in 420fps mode--14x realtime--at a tolerable 244x168 pixels, where you can watch flouresent lights flicker blue and brown, watch your engine's fanbelt spin, or even (if the lighting is...

OK not so great!!!
Pros:
1. 210 fps recording is great
cons:
1. Substandard still picture quality. No matter where I take the picture, noise always present!
2. No zoom during Video recording
3. Disable digital zoom works for some time only. As soon as you change any setting digital zoom enables itsef
With given price, I expected much better quality for still pictures...
Sorry Casio, I am moving on with Cannon or Panasonic...

Nice
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 pict...

Great coaching tool
I bought this camera after using the other Casio Hi-speed cameras because of the smaller size. I am pleased to say that it is doing all I wanted and expected. It took a while to learn the camera functions so I would recommend reading the manual front to back. I downloaded the pdf from the Casio website.
Pros-small size
Cons- short battery life
