Howard : I recall seeing some months ago a reference to Panasonic announcing : details of a new camera with extremely fast frame rate recording to a : large sensor (6 mp?) - something like 600 frames per second or even higher. : Can anyone remember this? The Panasonic site showed some amazing clips : they claimed had been recorded using a prototype. : http://gizmodo.com/341634/casios-exilim-pro-ex+f1-hands+on-1200-fps-demo-video-and-sample-60+shots+per+second-gallery "Casio's EXILIM Pro EX-F1: Hands-On, 1,200 FPS Demo Video and Sample 60-Shots-per-Second " Yesterday, Casio announced it's new EXILIM Pro EX-F1, a new digital camera that can shoot up to 60 shots in one second in burst mode http://www.panoramacamera.us Jim Jannard the billionare put him honey where his mouth was and ponied up for the R&D costs so the consumer gets the camera at rock bottom price. any way you cut it, a 12Mp camera that can rip at 60fps is worht it's weight in gold :) Willem-Jan Markerink wrote The 1D mark-III could very well be made to go beyond 10fps, but Canon >decided not to implement/allow that, because the more than 10fps >classifies as motion-picture, and on many events the fee for shooting >is much higher for motion picture than for still photographers....:(( > this was all I could find karl
