Part of a press release posted on DPReview.com :

The first prototype will be on display at the IFA, a
consumer electronics trade show, in Berlin, Germany,
which opens on August 31, 2007.
. . .

For still images, the camera achieves ultra high speed burst
shooting of 60 images per second at maximum resolution —the
fastest in the world*. Moreover, using Pre-shot Burst Mode,
(a ultra-high speed continuous shooting mode that captures
images from the scene prior to the moment when you actually
press the shutter button), users can be confident they will never
miss the most crucial photographic moment.

The camera can also capture movies at VGA resolution at an
incredible 300 frames per second, which means it can record
movies for replay in ultra-slow motion, a function that has only
been possible so far with a limited range of professional movie
equipment.

Considering the technical problems in doing that, the camera is pretty
amazing. Doing it at a reasonable price is even more amazing.

It uses a thiotimoline activated shutter and so manages to
take pictures a millisecond *before* you press the shutter
button.
