Lookin to shoot (...or have friends shoot me more so) high quality HD footage and I saw a video on here in the pics/vids section the other day labeled 300fps. From what I know 300fps and more are good for slow mo quality...?

The question of the day is what camera should I get that is 300fps or more on a budget...

Oh and my buddy that owns FrontsideFilms traded in his old cameras (about $3k per camera) for a stil camera to shoot video from cuz he said they are "that good" (nikon or cannon can't remember)... And didn't know if this would be a better route to go

Quality high speed cameras are big money. The Epic those guys shot the 300fps footage with costs $58k not including lenses or other essentials.

Sanyo's Xacti HD1010 1080i . Saw that one for a reasonable price and capable of shooting 300 600 or 1200 fps. didnt know the ins and outs on video if it was worth it for quality footage. again im not filming the next Defy or Global Warning, just my own stuff so it will be in other people hads morethan my own

This is what that camera looks like at 300fps.

Web-SHR: 448 x 336 (300 fps)

You are not gonna find a 300fps camera on a budget, at most probably a 60fps...

the 300 fps on that camera states it at a very low resolution, not hd...

Some of sony's "handycam" consumer cameras have a super-slo feature that can shoot in 1080i 240fps but only for about 4 seconds, I have used it quite a bit before and it actually works quite well as you don't normally use more than 4 seconds of 240fps footage, i have some samples of it if you want to see. I have also taken the 240fps and put it into Twixtor and have gotten really clean 480fps footage as well.

1 second = 9.25 hours @ 1mill FPS... seriously? that's ridiculous

Buy a Canon 5D mark II and teach yourself how to use Twixtor
