Taking Freestyle Further
HardwareMagThe Casio Exilim Ex-FR100 is a continuation of Casio’s foray into “Freestyle” photography, and largely follows the same form factor as before, with the exception of a larger 3-inch LCD with touch. The camera also gains improved protection from the elements, as it is now dust proof (equivalent to IPX6), water proof (equivalent to IPX8, IPX6), and better sealed to take cold (down to -5C) while being able to sustain drops from up to 1.3m when connected (1.7m separate).

POCKET POWER
HardwareMagToday’s compact cameras have it tough. They have to constantly prove their everyday worth against the ubiquotous smartphone camera and stay just as easy to use. Different manufacturers have different features for their compact cameras to stand out, so we put them all through their paces to find the best.

FREESTYLE GETS A NEW MAKE-OVER
HardwareMagLast year, Casio experimented with a concept camera design they termed the “freestyle” camera. It came in a two-piece detachable design with a lens module and control module that communicated with each other wirelessly. The Exilim FR10 allowed users to shoot from unexpected angles with a semi-rugged design that targeted the active community. However, unlike action cameras like the GoPro, which focuses on video, the FR10 was designed for photos first.
