Phantom v1610 cam can shoot up to one million frames per second
 

For when 24 fps isn’t enough, the Phantom v1610 high speed camera comes along with a mind-blowing frame rate. The v1610 sits at the top of Phantom’s collection of cameras, including models like the Phantom v10 and Phantom HD Gold (which was used to film the fantastic CupCake Cannon video). When set to 1M fps, however, the video resolution will be cut to an eye-popping 128×16.

A 128×16 seems a bit impractical. If you’re setting up a movie theater for ants and similarly sized creatures, then that resolution would be ideal. At a full resolution of 1280×800, the v1610 can shoot 16,000 fps. That’s more than enough frames for a super slow video, and it the size won’t require squinting.
The v1610 has three options for high-speed internal RAM: 24, 48, and 96GB. When set to 96GB, shooting at full speed and full resolution will yield a 4.19 second clip. Shooting a full length movie at that rate will take a great deal of time, but the video would be beautiful.
Nikonians rejoice, the Nikon-F mount is the standard lens mount for the v1610. There is an option for the Canon EOS mount, PL-mount, and C-mount. Unfortunately, a lens is not included.
The camera looks like a miniature version of the one-man submarine used in deep see exploration. Of course, it’s a mighty powerful pseudo-submarine camera.
What would you record at 1,000,000 fps?
