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.


60 and 120fps and even 240fps is the norm now. the problem is storage.


To quote you, "storage is cheap."


it is, however, 240fps is still 8x the amount of data as 30fps, so
either you shoot 1/8th as much video or you need to pay 8x as much in
storage costs.

the other problem is the camera itself. 240fps will quickly fill a
smartphone or sd card, even if you have petabytes on a nas.

I see the issue as on of organization.


organization is no different. it's the same videos, just a lot bigger.
