- Vision Research has unveiled its Phantom V1610 video camera that the company claims can shoot at one million fps.
- Gizmodo points out that in order to shoot at the maximum frame rate, the resolution may suffer too much to be effective.
- However, the in-between settings show promise: “You can shoot 1280×720 HD at 18,100, which is still extremely fast, and if you are willing to settle for a standard-def shot at 640×480 you can crank it all the way up to 43,400 fps, which I’m betting would look pretty amazing.”
- According to the Vision Research site, the camera can acquire and save up to 16 gigapixels-per-second of data with its proprietary widescreen CMOS sensor. “That means at its full megapixel resolution of 1280×800, you can achieve 16,000 frames-per-second. At reduced resolutions, the v1610 offers frame rates of 650,000 fps.”
- Be sure to watch the video demo included in the Gizmodo post.
