Casio announced six new cameras at CES 2009, with two models emphasizing ultra high speed continuous shooting and video recording. If you’re familiar with the EX-F1 and EX-FH20, these two new models are the same idea — just in a much more compact body. Here’s the first one:

Exilim EX-FC100

• 9.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor
• F3.6-4.5, 5X optical zoom lens, equivalent to 37 - 185 mm
• Sensor-shift image stabilization
• Compact body comes in gray and white
• 2.7″ LCD display with 230,400 pixels
• Point-and-shoot operation, with 21 Best Shot (scene) modes to choose from
• Can shoot at up to 30 frames/second at 6 Megapixel resolution; camera can record up to 25 frames that were buffered when you press the shutter release button
  • Slow motion mode lets you slow down the action to capture your subject at the perfect moment
  • High Speed Anti-Shake and Night Scene functions combine several images into one to reduce the effects of camera shake
  • High Speed Best Selection can automatically pick the best photo in the burst (no blur, blinking, or frowns alllowed)
• HD movie mode records videos at 1280 x 720 (30 fps)
  • High Speed movie mode lets you crank the frame rate as high as 1000 fps (though the resolution drops dramatically in return)
• SD/SDHC memory card slot
• Uses NP-40 lithium-ion battery; battery life not available
• Ships in March for $400
