Wouldn't be much use to me but I can see it would have some great applications.

BLOODY HELL!!

My mate used to use a camera for filming the flame fronts in cylinders - 500,000 fps.

Apparently it was dead boring to watch though...

1200 at 300x90 though.

isn't that the sort of camera that they film rounds coming out of guns with?

My mobile phone does 120 FPS video. Tis an odd feature but I'm sure someone would find it useful.

Similar concept, but this is just a cheap gimmick. If you look at professionally shot high speed video it's always dark and grainy even under studio lights. Just think what a regular camera shot would look like at 1/120000 shutter speed.

High speed cameras use (or used; it may have changed since the advent of digital) rotating mirrors to reflect the light onto the film as it whizzes through at a ridiculous speed. Used for photographing atom bombs exploding etc.
