  Hey,

  What is a cheap way to get something capable of, say, 120fps at a decent resolution? I'm looking for something that I can use to get good slow-motion at 1280x720 or better.

  I've seen some Casio digicams that can do this at 640x480, but I'm looking for something higher-res. Any suggestions?

  ArriS super 16mm

  • cool but not digital– bigtrickagain1/6

    PhotoKem can telecine it to any file type you want.– tedvandell2/6

    man... i guess i know nothing about the motion video world– bigtrickagain3/6

    the film cost will KILL you.... more fps = more $$$....– vaxorcist4/6

    16mm film is cheap. the processing and telecine will run you $$$$– tedvandell5/6

    digital will leave you with a bullshit fake look. nothing beats film... not even red or phantom– garretttt6/6

  the new Canon PowerShot SD4000 IS has 240 fps, but only at 320x240

  how slow do you want to go? what are you trying to shoot, like a bullet going though an apple or something? what camera are you using now?

  120fps is what i'd like - i have a canon t2i which does 30fps nicely, but i'm a stills person, not a motion picture person so my expertise in this area is just about nonexistent.

  • how do you like your T2i?– vaxorcist1/5

    i like it (: controls are shitty compared to 30d, but video is ace.– bigtrickagain2/5

    i feel like everyone who bought a 7d got duped - i got all of its features minus the AF points for 1/2 the price– bigtrickagain3/5

    the AF isn't the only difference between the two cameras. that's a little ridiculous.– Chief4/5

    fine, 7d has a pentaprism and a control wheel also (:– bigtrickagain5/5

  argh... It seems there's either prosumer stuff or specialized big dollar stuff and not much in between... the Casio's are nice, but smaller image at higher frame rates....

  slowing your footage in post is not an option? what are you trying to slow down?

  • he probably will in the end, but you can only slow it so much after footage looking sketchy– Miguex

  not anything specific yet, but i have ideas of, for example, circling a choreographed fight scene with a videocamera and slowing it down to 1/4 speed. so just slowing it in post is not an option here because of the changing pov.
