The Casio Exilim EX-F1 is all the rage on the internet right now because of it’s incredible feature set:

• Slow-mo video shooting at 300, 600 and 1200 frames per second
• Fast-slow-fast shooting from 30fps to 300 and back to 30 — I call this the “she walked in the room” mode, because it’s what they do in cheesy 80s movies to indicate the protagonist’s love interest
• High-speed 6-megapixel shots at 60fps
• Strobe shooting of stills at 7 frames per second with standard flash; 60fps with LED flash
• Full-resolution still shooting while capturing HD video
• Fly-in and fly-out auto modes, which capture still shots at 60fps when the subject enter or exit the frame

So not only is it a great still camera, but it also has awesome HD camcorder abilities.

I just happened to catch a part of this documentary on Ovation TV and was hooked. It was like being in a film class taught by Martin Scorsese. It made me want to watch and study all the films he talks about.

I have aspirations to be the next independent, maverick filmmaker like Robert Rodriguez and this crazy looking video camera called the Scarlet by RED (a company founded by the founder of Oakley) would definitely help get me there. This is supposed to be the more “affordable” version of the original RED camera which is making waves across the indie film production scene and Hollywood.
