Super slow motion

Nikon cameras have had excellent sensors in them for many years, principally because Sony's been making them. But this new sensor could be a game-changer, with super-slow motion, huge dynamic range, and exposure live-adjusted throughout the image.

The world of atoms and molecules is tricky to study, not just because it’s so small but because events occur so quickly at that scale. Now, researchers have captured slow motion video of the movements of single molecules at 1,600 frames per second.

Researchers from Nvidia have revealed an impressive new system that uses a deep-learning neural network to effectively create smooth high-quality slow motion videos from footage shot at a regular, low frame rate.

​Forget watching water balloons pop or bullets tearing through fruit. The next generation of super-fast camera is 15 and a bit million times faster than a commercial slow-mo camera like a Phantom Flex, and can show the movement of light itself.

Researchers at the Florida Institute of Technology have captured some stunning images of lightning at 7,000 frames per second while testing a new high-speed camera.​

Fastec Imaging Corporation has developed a handheld digital camera capable of recording 720p at 720 frames per second.

Canon has announced a new addition to its ELPH range of compacts, the PowerShot SD4000 IS
