So far I've been able to resist consumer-grade sub-$1000 digital SLRs. I'm not a very visual person (to my surprise), and I guess I've never believed that I could have an appropriate amount of fun with a nice camera.

Casio has announced the EXILIM Pro EX-F1, a $999 digital SLR that can burst shoot at 60 frames per second for 1 second at full resolution (no flash; 7 fps with flash; 5 fps continuous for 12 seconds), record 1920x1080 HD movies at 60 frames per second, and even higher fps rates at lower resolutions all the way down to 336x96 at 1200 frames per second. Now that's fun.
