We have been drooling over the Casio EX-F1 for more than a year, but even with the ability to record at 1,200 FPS we couldn’t justify the $1,500 price for a camera that wouldn’t be our primary shooter.

But the just released Casio EX-FH20 might be the perfect compromise. First, its less than half the price coming in at a penny under $600, while still managing to retain the most lust worthy features. Specs include 9.1-Megapixel Resolution – up to 3456×2592 RAW (DNG) or JPEG Stills, 1280×720 at 30 fps AVI, Motion JPEG HD Movies; 20x optical zoom; 3.0 TFT Color LCD screen; high definition 720p video recording; plus a toggle between high speed slow motion video, so you capture in 30-210 fps, 420 fps, or 1,000 fps. Casio has also simplified the menus to make navigation more streamlined than the EH-F1, from which we have read was pretty clunky.

Just think of all the explosion goodness you can record at 1,000 FPS…
