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.

- Sensor: 1/1.8" CMOS
- 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
- Movie capture: VGA resolution (640×480) at 300fps
- Dimensions: 27.5mm (W) x 79.5mm (H) x 130.0mm (D)
