Customer Reviews:

This is a fabulous cutting-edge digital camera great for taking pictures, but not so good for taking video clips (particularly slow motion). The 12.5x optical zoom is exceptional and coupled with this the Multi Frame SR Zoom (separate to the digital zoom) makes the overall zoom 25x with clarity. ...

mmh 1000fps looks like crap....ok its a cheap cutomer camera, but it looks just terrible

[trampolineboarderguy]

Hey, I have another question. How do you upload your footage from this camera. Do you sue the mini USB wire? When I try to upload, even when filmed in hd the footage becomes very grainy.

[Adams0211]

hi,

can you set the focus manually before or during the video with this camera? thanks!

[trampolineboarderguy]

I have the same camera but I have a bit of a problem. When I am filming in 120 fps after about 30 seconds of filming, when the video is watched over many frames are skipped and it creates a laggy video. Any ideas?

[PK1234567891011]

@trampolineboarderguy maybe your memory card is too slow

[trampolineboarderguy]

@PK1234567891011 thank you that fixed it!

[SAFENAFE1985]

@trampolineboarderguy i have the same problem with laggy video after about 30 seconds of play back. did you find out if the memory card was to blame?

[gvergory]

So if I ever wanted to make an edit with both normal speed and slow mo footage, will all the slow mo sections have black bars down the side?

[ozbell925]

i wasted 1; 45 of my life, give me my time back you cunt

[Petarboom]

@ozbell925 If you didn´t like the first 20 s of the video but you continue watching it you must be stupid.

Good video and good camera!

[soarornor]

Thanks for this. Exactly what I was looking for. You're a good jumper. Looked more and more awesome the slower it got.

[xxBLKChEvY07xx]

so this thing shots 120 fps at 720p?

[Mauriciom1029]

looks like the video quality degrades with the higher frame rate. is that the case?

[markbether]

Great vids !!!

Maybe will be possible to hack compression for video records as 1000 fps soon :-)

Than will be super camera

I'm owner FC100.

[DavidsKanal]

is it posible to film hd and with 120 pfs?

[PK1234567891011]

@DavidsKanal no ;)

[assailant85]

@DavidsKanal yes: with 2 cameras!

[ultraslowmotion1]

@DavidsKanal no but 120 fps looks like 720p hd video

[Petarboom]

I´ve got this camera thanks to your video.Watch this that I´ve made with fireworks.

[Ndev07]

i find the 1000 fps video quality to be so disappointing, it's useless, a shame really ... good vid btw.

[dataguttene]

Why is the quality getting worse when u play it with higher fps?

[DrnkSqrrlProductions]

@dataguttene Because the higher FPS = much more data is required and if you keep the resolution high, it goes up even higher, thus requiring higher end camera and memory card. To keep costs down, the resolution is lowered as you go up in FPS. Hence why high quality slow mo vids you see on TV are shot with cameras that cost thousands of dollars but show great results, its a trade off.

[douwethaman]

nice, just ordered the camera! =D

[AndromedaRoach]

If anyone wants to shoot high-speed HD - I bought a Sanyo Xacti HD1010 for $350 in summer 2009, it shoots 720p HD at 60fps (yes, that is frames, not fields), example: /watch?v=nbaXwkJTEBk&t=1m00s It also does 448 x 336 300FPs, I wish it did 640 x 480 120fps like this one though :)

[0LoneTech]

@AndromedaRoach The followup HD2000 (or FH1) does 1080p60 down to 192x108@600fps. Looks like they degraded the 448x336 to 240fps and 720p to 30fps, however. Strange that a video camera manufacturer decides to do less usable video than Casio (in particular, the 30-120 mode).

[virtouslucifer]

SOLD!. Alright I bought the camera. Your video is the one that sold the camera. I think this video should be made the official ad.

My appreciation would be too small for the effort you put in. Thanks once again.

[FlyingHorseKnuckles]

Thank you for posting this VERY educational video. I have been waiting for someone to do a simple progression of speed changes that also illustrate the degradation of resolution at the higher ttwo speeds (420 and 1000 fps). :-)

[preput]

thanks for the vid.

and holy body!

[parafuso12]

great job man thanks!!!

[ttCrawsaive]

Somebody knows a High speed camera that stays having good quality at 420fps ?

Thanks for this video anyway PK1234567891011 !

[KingStank]

Would it be possible to list out the resolution for each FPS? eg. 30 FPS @ 640x480. etc.

[PK1234567891011]

@KingStank 224 x 64 (1000 fps), 224 x 168 (420 fps), 448 x 336 (240 fps), 640 x 480 (120 fps), 448 x 336 (30-240 fps), 640 x 480 (30-120 fps), 720p (30 fps)

[KingStank]

@PK1234567891011 thanks a lot.

[adamothirteen]

@PK1234567891011 hey can i just find out what's the raw file format that comes out from this camera for the video files?

and if you know what compression it uses.

thanks in advance!

[0LoneTech]

@adamothirteen According to the manual, it stores video as Motion JPEG AVI, IMA-ADPCM audio (stereo). That means all frames are independent, it can be cut anywhere, but on the other hand requires quite high data rates. It takes 720p30 at 30Mb/s (megabit, not byte), VGA at 10Mb/s, and high-speed modes at 50Mb/s except 1000fps which is 25Mb/s. That's also why there is an awful lot of "haloing" in the 1000fps clip - if they didn't compress it more than the others, it would look better.

[virtouslucifer]

Fantastic. Thanks for the video. My brain is exploding inside.

I saw this video many times and have a few questions to ask.

1. Did you jump 5 times to get the different fps shots? I guess not. How do we get different fps settings for the same video?

2. The camera actually moved from left to right as you were jumping. How did you do this? The person holding the camera must be really good at his/her job.

3. Is the lighting good enough or did you use special lighting?

[PK1234567891011]

@virtouslucifer

1. i did jump 5 times to get the different fps shots

2. oh yes it's my cousin, and he is really very good at it

3. the 5 clips are just put together to one video, but i didn't use any special effects such as special lightening

[oOoDaEnGoOo]

The video should be renamed "Slow Motion White Boy"

[VinnyLT9000]

Why does the quality of the image degrees the slower you go?

[technomegabit]

@VinnyLT9000 because it takes time to capture large images, and when you only have 1/1000 of a second, you can't make it 1080p

[VinnyLT9000]

@technomegabit Thanks, sorry for my noob typing. Are there better cameras out there that aren't affected by this?

[technomegabit]

@VinnyLT9000 probably, but they would cost a ton of money. This is only $250 from amazon, so you can't really complain.

[tycff]

на1000fps качество Г...

[VidPro95]

Why wasnt their sound on the high frame rate clips?

[MMIVcomp]

This video is very helpful in assessing the utility of the camera's high-speed functions--thank you for posting it.

[gjdakin]

autsch mittelfußlandung

UNGESUND

:D

[TheFliprunner]

i would really appreciate it if u could tell me how you enlarged the clips and what software u did it on as i want to know how to make them bigger for the movies i make, because the resolution is small on 240 and up

[PK1234567891011]

@TheFliprunner hmmm the clips are made bigger automatically - i use adobe premiere elements 8

[xato909]

1000fps + you = zzzZZZzzz....

[Shony95]

Wow! great))

[KamalaRaider]

1000 Frams. Bad Quality

[darmok1974]

Well done!

[Hacker9876543210]

420 is pretty much the highest (useful) slow motion fps for this camera, because 1000 fps is just plain blurry and it is only a strip of video.

[SASScoundrel]

Excellent video to demonstrate the qualities of the high speed video. I can see anything above 240 fps has terrible quality and wouldn't be acceptable for much. I have been debating the merits of a high speed camera and how I know I won't use this feature much. Thanks for posting!

[goldenboi24k]

omg, at 1000, it looks like he is going to flying into the sky lol

[fispaul]

WHen is this camera out, sorry if it's a stupid question?

[PK1234567891011]

@fispaul it depends on your country.... but in austria, I obviously was already able to order it on the internet from germany about a month ago

[fispaul]

@PK1234567891011 That's great, because I live in Germany :D

I saw this camera on Amazin and it confused me because I dind't know it was already out. Thanks a lot!

[freezxo]

@fispaul if you live in america its out... you can get it at walmart for $250

[HydroMacFly]

Ich finde 240 fps kommt am Besten rüber, da stimmt auch die Qualität noch.

[Kinespojken]

Really nice vid! Thank you!

But i have one question. Can you zoom optical when recording in HD?

[PK1234567891011]

@Kinespojken no, only digital zoom is possible when recording - in HD as well as in high-speed
