Because it can capture full resolution images at such a high rate, when you half-press the button it starts continuously capturing them. Then when you do a full press it can record an image that was slightly in the past so you get the exact moment you wanted. Even better than 0 shutter delay, you get an effective -.1 second shutter delay to compensate for your reaction time.

Looks like the next couple of years are going to continue to be very cool for digital cameras. With 32GB+ SD cards coming out, high quality video, and more. The key thing about this Casio prototype is that it shows the industry moving past the mega-pixel race into things that really improve the pratical issues with photography.

Now if it can only capture decent low-light images… But I suspect that is too much to ask.

Casio has some demos out of a next generation camera that can shoot 60 frames per seconds at full 6 megapixels or 300 frames per second at normal high quality video. The demos look incredible. With 12x zoom I expect you will need a good tripod to have this work well even with the promised image stabilization. Still, it looks awesome.
