300 fps on a Cassio seems plenty fast to my eye. I never use the higher f rates, though the camera has them.
Remember though that if the camera doesnt have a shutter it isnt frames per second, but rather fields per second. Apples and oranges. Some of the new industrial high speed video cameras like the Vipor actually have a shutter. This whole frame rate thing is really changing quickly .............what used to be a US Army or manufacturing technology is now available to the public in the form of a point and shoot camera. Heck there is even a high speed golf specific camera on a cell phone.
OB
With the rapid grow grow of technology it's so hard to keep up.
The other day in cycling everyone was raving about this new biomechanics system. I checked the technology out. It was a cheap 20,000 dollar system using infrared receiver and senors with a wired system. All this system did is measure bike set up. People we paying same rate as we do and wasn't measuring movement patterns, all they were getting was a bike fit. It cheap technology and where they placed the sensors weren't positioned in the right place on the person. In comparison to a $250000 Vicon system.
In biomechanics consumers are up to speed between the differences in technology. The consumer loses out and you can't say nothing or you come across as bagging your competitors.
Like Polhemus $38000 dollar system and comparing their data to Vicon $250000 system. Worlds apart with accuracy and information.
Cameras are getting better all the time.
They have their application for golf coaches.
They irrelevant to my field they can't measure body segment speeds and accel and decel etc or muscle groups
