The relatively new camera from Panasonic “Available March 31st” hides a hi speed mode on the cheap with relatively good specs for such a small camera.
Named Lumix ZS40 in the US and TZ60 EB in Europe the camera boasts the following specs:
The story behind the edgertronic camera is very compelling, Mike Matter and Juan Pineda have created a block camera that captures 700fps at 720p with interchangeable Nikon Mount. All with a dream and the support of kickstarter backers.
Nikon’s new 1 v3 camera has some pretty impressive specs regarding hi-speed video.
We still have no samples from the 120p mode but it might produce a very clean image since Nikon’s 60p mode is very good in recent cameras.
Ever since I got into digital imaging at the end of the 1990s I was very interested in Hi Speed Video Imaging. Over the years I have seen the price of these digital wonders go down in price considerably and are now close to what you would call affordable for the enthusiast.
I have produced a few footage videos for my stock videography work over the years with slow motion/hi speed cameras but have never been able to use, rent or own a truly professional hi speed camera.
