An unusual product design shows Casio with HD video-enabled EX-TR100, which was unveiled at CES. Whether one can speak here of a swivel LCD? Strictly speaking yes, but you could also say that the camera is mainly composed of an LCD with a mobile frame (see figures below). If the video quality is somewhat useful, they could therefore be fundamentally interesting as a small secondary camera for (action) shoots - unless there is too much play in the joints, it is likely to give to would otherwise be cumbersome accomplished recordings (as long as Capt'n Gaffer on the set is), with a list price of 279 € would be a loss to cope with even more necessary. The wide-angle equivalent of 21mm is in this context is quite appropriate, but only seems to have built a micro-optics. The problem could also be the 12.1 MP CMOS (keyword rolling shutter, expect not to at the cameras in this price range with a correction, which of course speaks again against real action shots ...). 1920x1080 is recorded in H.264 format (no information on the frame rate, 30 fps would be typical), at lower resolutions are high-speed recording at 240 frames per second. The pictures end up on a memory card. About 7.6 cm (3 inches) touch screen, the camera can be operated, including start and stop recording, manual functions are likely to be a scarce commodity. In terms of picture (of course the main job of this unit) is like. HDR technology offered. The EX-TR100 is available end of April. more infos at bei www.casio-europe.com
