By Ben Stafford, DigitalCameraReview Staff | | 3382 Reads

At IFA 2007 in Berlin, Casio is displaying a prototype digital camera that is capable of taking still images at 60fps and movies at 300fps. The new camera uses a 6 megapixel CMOS sensor and a high speed LSI image processing chip to crunch all of that data. Besides the actual prototype, there is no word on release date, pricing, or even final specifications.

Electronic viewfinder has approx 200K pixels
Lens: 12 lenses in 9 groups, F2.7 to 4.6, equivalent to approx 35 to 420 mm on a 35 mm film camera
