Casio overclocks camera with 60fps shooting rate

Drats, we totally missed the press conference yesterday when some lucky folks got upclose with Casio's new prototype camera. Now, we can catch it only from outside a transparent box since the company wasn't exactly for the idea of freeing the shooter from its cage. What a bummer. Initial specs point to a 6-megapixel CMOS sensor, 60fps burst rate (increases to 300fps when you drop to VGA-resolution), 12x optical zoom, 2.8-inch 230K-pixel LCD and CMOS-shift optical image stabilization. While you're at it, you might want to check out LG's KU990 camera-phone with a 120fps burst mode as well. First it was the megapixel race. Now it's about who can shoot faster. Don't these guys have better things to do?
