UPDATED! Casio EX-F1 High Speed Footage Tests 300-600fps

EDIT: I've uploaded another video, this time shot at 600fps and featuring my shotgun.

Today I received a Casio EX-F1 for an upcoming project. The reason for getting the camera is for the high speed video it can shoot. For those of you not familiar with the camera, it shoots at 60, 300, 600, & 1,200 FPS. Unfortunately it's at very low resolutions, but for the price, you can't beat that (next up from this is the Phantom Miro at 10k).

I've discovered that at 300fps with a lot of lighting and low ISO, your footage will look pretty good. Even when upscaled to 1280x720, it still looks good.

After I finish the upcoming project, I want to do an in-depth video review on the high speed aspect of this camera. Sadly, there isn't much out there on that part of the camera, and I want others to be able to decide if this would help them for anything or not.

I'm also new here. I found this forum while on my iPhone...it was through a banner ad from what I recall.

Yah, it's pretty interesting how the world of SLR & traditional video cameras are merging.

Btw, you should have concluded that video by throwing all that fruit into a blender with a large dash of rum, and filmed the mixing in slo-mo.

Got me all thirsty. :)
 
I'm putting together a list of other stuff to shoot in high speeds. Things that aren't really out there and are a cliche' (i.e. face slap or balloon burst).

I am VERY impressed with the quality of the footage, especially after scaling it up to HD. Based on the other footage I've seen online, I would not have expected to get it this good. In my case I set the ISO as low as it will go (100), which makes a big difference. Lighting the scene well helps too. :-P
