High speed [video] camera

vonfeldt7 · 03-23-2008, 12:23 AM

I need a half-way decent high speed video camera. Does anybody have any suggestions? The only thing I can find are REALLY high end ones (100,000fps) and I don't need something like that. However, I do need one that's more than 60fps. (200? somewhere around there? Maybe a little more).

Does anybody have any camcorders that they recommend for this? (Preferably under $1000).

Why? Are you going to watch bullets or something?

Negative.

Golf Swings.

It would also be great for storm chasing...

Your 17 what kind of 'storm chasing' do you plan on doing?

vonfeldt7 · 03-23-2008, 06:46 PM

Not sure yet, not that it matters, any camera would work for that.

What this camera is really doing to be used for is slowing down golf swings.

Can we help him, instead of questioning him..?

I would help, but I dont know much about video cameras.

I don't know of actual video cameras that support that speed right off, but I know some digital cameras such as the S3 IS can do 320x240 at 60FPS. Some other cameras may be capable of higher resolutions...

Okay so on the Canon for example...it says:

Shutter Speed Max.: 1/2000, 1/500 (card)

I'm confused about this...how many fps is that?
