We’ve got one of Casio’s Exilim FC-100s for review right now, and of course the first thing we had to do was test out its vaunted super slow motion functionality. I was going to save this little reel for the review, but it was too fun not to share.
Yeah, it’s pretty much us jumping around like idiots the whole time. Sorry I didn’t have any wine glasses to shoot bullets at! There’ll be cooler stuff for the review. Watch in HQ, the framerate is better.
The “thin” video was shot at 1000FPS, but I had to speed it up to make it watchable — it’s really slow. The full frame stuff is at 420FPS, which is a little easier to relate to and has a bigger picture to boot. I’m sorry to say that the quality of the video (size and compression-wise) is pretty awful, but expecting megaslow and HQ video from a point-and-shoot is just greedy. Remember, this thing fits in your front pocket. Totally insane.
The music is “Yadnus” by !!!, from Live at KEXP Volume 4.
you guys are slow.
hah, nice camera
hahahahahaha
PLEASE NEVER JUMP OVER A CAMERA LIKE THAT AGAIN! NOT THE ANGLE WE WANT TO SEE!
How did you get permission to use !!! music? Nice.
Great video guys.
Shame the resolution is not better, but considering it comes from something the size of a deck of cards, it’s great.
That’s tight…I was hoping for a double-backflip off the wall though.
Awesome!
Yeah like Jeremy said, why didnt you do a double-backflip off the wall?
you are my favorite tc-related writer forever
Girls in bikinis, preferably at a sorority car wash, are the proper subject for slow motion videos. Not two guys high-fiving each other and spraying a bottle of water.
Very cool feature. I hope to see it in more cameras in the future
How many takes did you need to get that super-terrific hi-five jump?
Way to sell out for the video. No questioning your commitment.
Best. CrunchGear. Post. Ever?
Any idea on when this camera is coming out?
I need one of these so bad…I was debating having one drop shiped from Hong Kong but decided against it. Any idea of retail availability?
You just tell me which camera I want to buy. Thanks
Hmmm, I think YouTube pulled your music. The video goes silent after the CrunchGear intro.
Nevermind, it seems like it’s a problem on my machine. As you were, move along, nothing to see here. *blush*
Had you had good looking girls in bikinis squirting the water on each other and I guarantee you would’ve had about 1,000,000 more views of this vid. think smart next time – this is about page views! Cut out the dudes doing silly stuff and get the girls.
wow. that was sure some funny stuffs.
nice camera!
but point and shoot ain’t my type.
Nicely timed on the high five. If you got that done in fewer than 3 takes color me impressed.
Boys, boys. I hear you on the ladies. This was all done on short notice. If I had time to organize the CrunchGroupies, I would have. Don’t worry, I’ll find something for the final review. As for your questions:
The camera should be available now or very soon; it costs $400. There’s a version with a 3x zoom that costs $350. I’ll have a full review up in a few days, keep an eye out for it.
I did do a double backflip off the wall but someone accidentally deleted it.
The flying high five actually only took three tries. One whiff, one hit, and one hit with a better angle.
And yes, this is the best CG post ever.
sweet – that was fun dudes.
That was totally fucking awesome.
really cool! {seesmic_video:{“url_thumbnail”:{“value”:”http://t.seesmic.com/thumbnail/sukvkyqtzT_th1.jpg”}”title”:{“value”:”really cool! ”}”videoUri”:{“value”:”http://www.seesmic.com/video/hTAsBrwdtO”}}}
Dude with the black jacket moves around like he’s a hotshot rockstar. He’s attitude schmattitude ;-)
Haha that was epic.
Will I be able to get one of these in Hong Kong? Going an a couple of weeks.
You can probably get just about anything in Hong Kong. Check one of the big camera stores.
HEY. Stop stealing my filming signature.
if you guys speed that up, it would look more natural….
did you try audio with it?
I think feck you in slow mo would have been a nice touch :p
Impressive video quality. I totally thought the guys were going to have a head on collision when jumping towards each other. :)
Brilliant!
HEY. Stop stealing my filming signature.
:)
What? No jumping belly-bump?! How disappointing.
Slo-mo is old and out of date. Yeah this is a great camera, but do you guys really want to spend at least $600 a pop for a camera that can do it.
Plus, the slo mo feature only works when you are in HEAVY light. No concerts, no inside, you have to be outside or underneath a spotlight in order for this thing to work.
But congratualtions on a well made YouTube video. That’s the extent to which this camera will be successful.
Camera costs $250 or so, but yeah you do need good light. At 210FPS you can get by with indoor light though.
in air high 5, super cool {seesmic_video:{“url_thumbnail”:{“value”:”http://t.seesmic.com/thumbnail/WKQy8NMXuv_th1.jpg”}”title”:{“value”:”in air high 5, super cool ”}”videoUri”:{“value”:”http://www.seesmic.com/video/I8b5mmoEwA”}}}
Very nicely done. Should use the camera to do a reservoir dogs “group of guy walking down the road” intro for TC interviews.
Why is it that slow motion is so friggin funny. That is knee slap funny.
Haha, that was entertaining!
Slow motion high fives FTW
You guys should have called me, I woulda let you punch me in the face and throw me downstairs. How fucking awesome would that have looked?
It ain’t over yet. I’m preparing Reel 2 for the review.
love it. send it to TC HQ please. :-)
Agree with D Murphy et al. Best CG Post Ever!
That was borderline viral. May get a lot of circulation. Keep more of these coming. …I’ll definitely share along. -A
Well done, Devin!
