asio announced the $399.99 EX-FC100 and the $349.99 EX-FS10, both of which are capable of shooting 720p video and high speed 1000-fps movies, but are compact point-and-shoots that are slim enough to fit in your pocket. The new cameras will also be using CMOS sensors, as opposed to CCD sensors usually found in compact point-and-shoots. CMOS sensors are typically only found in expensive Digital Single Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras; the inclusion of CMOS sensors is also a first for Casio and a rarity in this category.

The EX-FC100 and EX-FS10 will measure 0.89 and 0.64 inches thin, respectively, and will both use a 9 megapixel CMOS sensor. The less expensive EX-FS10 will offer a 3X optical zoom and 2.5-inch LCD screen. The EX-FC100 will be priced $50 higher, offers a bump to 5X optical zoom, a 2.7-inch LCD and its lens does not extend outside the body of the camera.
Casio will leverage the speed of these new cameras by creating new features called "Lag Correction," "Slow Motion View," and "HS Best Selection." "Lag Correction" will combat shutter lag, which refers to the delay between pushing the shutter release button and the actual shot that is captured, it can also be caused by a user's slow response to hit the shutter release. "Lag Correction" will begin taking photos once the shutter release button is pressed halfway down (while the user is preparing to take the shot). That way, if the shot is missed when the button is fully pressed, the user will have the shot even if their reflexes cause them to miss it.
