Casio Rolls Out F1 Ahead of PMA

CEA did it's darnedest to bring more digital photography exhibits and displays into the show, including a dedicated Digital Photography Showcase in the South Hall for first-time exhibitors. The effort appears to have turned into a real competitor for the annual PMA tradeshow (which rolls into Las Vegas just two weeks from today), with hundreds of HD digicams, higher end DLSRs and HD-ready camcorders throughout the exhibit halls.

Casio's F1 is the star of the show at their booth. A unique combination of prosumer DLSR styling with unmatched features, the F1 is 6.0 megapixel ultrazoom with 2.8" LCD display, 12X optical zoom and a speed burst capture mode capable of taking 60 frames per second at full resolution. While it's digicam specs are impressive, the real kicker for this camera is the full HD movie recording that captures 1920x1080 at 60 fps. Even better, the F1 has a high-speed move recording mode that captures video at 300fps, 600 fps or even a whopping 1200fps.

Pricing and availability for the F1 have not yet been disclosed.

JVC Rolls Out New Camcorders for PMA

The new line of JVC Everio Hard Disk Camcorders feature a super-slim design that makes them the world’s smallest hard drive camcorders on the market.

For 2008, there will be Everio camcorders available in sapphire blue, ruby red, diamond silver and onyx black, allowing consumers to choose a model based on features, budget and style. Also new is Laser Touch, a touch-sensitive scroll bar that simplifies operation, both 30GB and 60GB models, and a new design that’s some 20 percent smaller than last year’s entry-level model. In addition, a higher-end model offers higher-resolution digital stills by virtue of a seven megapixel CCD, making it unnecessary for people to carry both a camcorder and a digital still camera. This model is the first in the world to have an embedded 1.3” hard disk drive (30GB), which allowed JVC to integrate a large 1/2.5” CCD and its accompanying large optical lens section, without getting bulky — thereby providing the quality benefits of a large lens while maintaining a small body and offering large capacity.
