Jivemaster Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 In the new year I will be looking for a camera to do some high speed videos of Pyros and fireworks. Is there a consumer level camera that has high speed record facility? Could be a camera with recorder, or camera direct to USB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew C Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 We've got a Casio thing at work, might be EX-F1 (or an older version) that has a 60 fps burst setting. About £650 last time the boss thought about getting another. Seems OK, but I've not done much myself with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbsy Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 If you need something faster than 60fps (and for pyro you might) I saw a demo of the SAMSUNG WB2000 on a TV technology news show about six months ago. It claims up to 1000fps video (but looking at a review, I gather there's a trade off between resolution and frame rate). Other than seeing it on a consumer news show, I've not had any personal experience--but it might be worth checking it out. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jameshlyons Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I have been using a Casio EX-FC100 ($250) for a while as my pocket camera and been quite happy with it.Have a look, I recorded some fire dancers at night, only lit by fluorescent (I think) street lamps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WNQOOCg7R0 It's not real high-res, but 400x300 pixels isn't bad at 210 fps, and their newer models are getting better (backside-illuminated CMOS on the new EX-FH25 ($350) looks promising). It's a lot of fun to have on hand, too.Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
