The slo-mo cavitation is very cool. One note: the credits say that the camera is a Canon, but I was under the impression that the EX-F1 was a Casio.

Right you are! The **CASIO** EX-F1 is a sweet little device. Thanks for pointing this out; we'll add the correction in the annotations.

The ping pong balls at 5:15 seems to trigger without any impact. They seem to trigger by the kinetic energy release or sound wave travelling inside the fish bowl instead.
