the camera I want: Casio EXILIM Pro EX-F1: 60fps

http://www.dpreview.com/news/0801/08010601casiof1.asp

$999

It's a camera AND a camcorder.

And best of all it's FAST... shutter speed up to 1/40,000 (yes
that's one FORTY THOUSANDTH of a second) in manual mode.

With speed like that, I'm surprised it has or needs image
stabilization. Plus, get this: when taking photos when you hold the
shutter button down it shows (and records) a slow motion series
(that's the 60 frames per second I believe); let up the button and
you can pick from the images for the one you want. Or so that's how
I think it works, but anyway, sounds really good to me.

Available in March 2008.

This is enough to drag me away from Canon.

If she can tell Dr. Phil to buzz off, she gets my respect.

Good luck to her, and I hope she gets her stuff together.

Most of the stories are from The Boston Herald: here, here, and here.
