Slow motion cameras?

Question

How much would a very good slow motion camra cost? Like in some skate videos its really clear and super slow?

Answer 1

most cameras will not do slo-mo.

you can  slow down the speed in the edit but cams are different.

you'll need to spend some big bucks to get a true high speed cam that'd do it. (something that is capable of 50 fps or greater)

however, the good news is that sony are introducing their own 'super slo shot' feautre in their range of consumer/prosumer cameras (HDV only)

it'll do a great job in making real smooth slo-mo.

the bad news is that it records on the buffer memory and then spits it onto tape. the downside of this is that you only get a few seconds (3 to 6) and the resolution is very poor compared to full hd (1920 x 1080)

you'll have to look up the size.

hope it helps!
