Slowing down time in a big way

There are two ways of slowing down time, the real one is to travel at near relativistic speeds and the photographic one that uses high speed photography that once played back will slow things down. This camera is the champ and it can only be done digitally. You just could not do it mechanically with film not to mention the quasi impossibly large spool of film. In some occasions digital is better.

Vision Research Launches the New High-Speed Phantom v642

Phantom-v642.jpgThe folks at Vision Research have an obsession, and that's slow-motion video. Their latest camera brings that in spades, with a rate of 1450fps at a 4K resolution and 2560fps at 1080p. That gives you a playback speed of around 90x slower than the live action you've recorded.

The camera comes packed with 8GB of RAM, though 16GB and 32GB models are available for those that need a bit more space. This high-speed RAM allows for some impressive things from the Phantom v642, such as the ability to record video even during playback.

Another upgrade to the Phantom v642 is the addition of Multi-Matrix Color Correction Technology. The addition of that tech allows the Phantom to match the colors of a regular speed camera.
