This is my first attempt using the Casio EX-F1 (I started a thread about this a while ago) This is of Wendy (archery_mum) shooting her UltraElite today with the camera hand held at 1200 frames per second. The clip I uploaded to youtube has been compressed and edited in Windows Movie Maker and comprises a shot from behind with the arrow leaving the bow merged with one of the arrow hitting the target. The original files are much better as they are widescreen and we were able to view them on our Plasma and step through each frame to check for arrow clearance. I am linking them in to a page on our club website from YouTube.

We are more than pleased with the results and can just imagine how good it would be on recurves and longbows. I can't wait to get it to the club and shoot some footage of our longbow archers.
From a coaching perspective the video's are viewable on the camera monitor and can be directly viewed on a TV from the camera. Uploading is via a USB cable or memory card and one 4gb card can save a lot of video. The clips I was capturing of Wendy from a point where I would say 'shoot' to the bow falling forward were about 10mb.
