CASIO is said to be fine-tuning on a revolutionary new digital camera with unseen high speed performance and image capture functions

This technology will enable digital camera to capture images where precision specific timing is essential, not capable of being seen by the human eye

The prototype for such digital camera is this 6.0-megapixel, 12x optical zoom, high-performance digital camera prototype with CMOS-shift image stabilization function

This digital camera is able to capture ultra-high speed burst shooting for still images and high speed movie recording of 300 frames per second

Main specifications of prototype

• Effective pixels: 6.0 million
• Imaging element: 1/1.8 inch high speed CMOS sensor (total pixels: 6.6 million)
• High speed burst shooting: 60 images per second at 6.0 million pixels, JPEG
• High speed movie: 300fps, Motion JPEG, AVI format, VGA
• Lens/focal distance: 12 lenses in 9 groups, F2.7 to 4.6, equivalent to approximately 35 to 420 mm on a 35 mm film camera
• Zoom: 12X optical zoom
• Image stabilization mechanism: CMOS-shift image stabilization
• Monitor screen: 2.8-inch widescreen TFT color LCD, approx. 230,000 pixels
• Viewfinder: Color LCD, approx. 200,000 pixels
• Dimension and weight: 127.5 mm (W) x 79.5 mm (H) x 130.0 mm (D). Approx. 650 g (excluding battery and accessories)
