Interesting indeed. However, not to be found in your everyday Nikon, Canon,
Olympus, or Fujifilm anytime soon.

If they do they should be able to shoot a 100 meter track event and take a
week, or more to analyze each movement/moment for those 10 seconds. ;-)

Do you think they might have a rolling shutter issue?

Hell! I have a hard enough time trying to use 30fps, and at an airshow with
low level, high speed passes I find that a 3 to 5 frame burst, with the
occasional 8 frame burst is all I need. You have to control that trigger
finger.

It will breath new life into LR, and one event will take an entire
life's work to select the best shots! ;-)


I have my head stuck in LR with selecting single frames, and finding that
“shot” in any of my occasional bursts. I certainly can’t imagine
analyzing the content of a second or two from a 10 trillion fps sequence.

That is a down-side to the style of shooting that has become popular.

Seriously, I suspect that we'll see some significant boost in capture
rates for upscale cameras in the not-so-distant future. As for 30fps,
those who have shot video have always worked with that rate, and it's
not much of a challenge. IMO, the issue is that it isn't the best way to
get individual shots anyway, but for those who work that way, a 120fps
rate would improve their chances.


Well I can shoot 120fps video with my X-T3, not that I am a video shooter,
but then to dig through that footage to extract that single Pulitzer winning
“frame” is going to be a royal PIA.

My point is that Pulitzer prize shots of action scenes have been taken
for many decades with cameras that even lacked motor drives. The
reliance on technology while diminishing one's skills is of questionable
value as far as I'm concerned.
