The Casio Exilim EX-F1 Pro I've been drewling all over lately, but not been able to find in China... it cost about 600euro (~800usd) and has a buffer (fast ddr ram) for 60 x 6Mp pics, it reads out the CMOS PARRALEL instead of secuentially (eliminating the 'sweeping trees effect' mentioned as reason for the mechanical shutter) the buffer continually shoots, and as you press the button you can have 60 shots of every 1/60th second that happened BEFORE you pressed the shutter! OR 2 seconds of every 1/30th second or 6 seconds of footage of every 1/10 second etc until i think 1 minute of every second. also instead of only recording the pictures BEFORE you press the shutter the buffer can be set to 50/50 so 30 of the past pics, and 30 of the pics taken AFTER the shutter is pressed are taken. then... you can view all 60 frames, and select (all/one/some/none) which ones you want to save. OH did I mention 60i full HD h264MOV (but alas with wav sound) and 300/600/1200fps fast footage? (really cool: a mode in which 30fps and 300fps can be alternated in the SAME video clip for those very cool slowmo effects.) the only thing bugging me is: I hate interlacing... and would like to have 720p 60fps. having holes and gaps in my video (that's what interlacing is: half of your picture is empty lines) isn't my idea of cool. about the 10fps function: YES there is something for a similar price that not only compares but does 6x! faster!

I am interested in the type of quality we might expect from a panorama produced by the hx1. Would we be able to achieve something close to http://www.regal360.com/index.php/features.html ?
