Well, they don't have shallow DOF (1/2.3" sensor) but we've got the first stills camera shooting continuous 6mp photos at 30fps. The good news is that we can expect no rolling shutter artifacts since you're taking pics, not video. And also you end up having an image sequence just like the Ikonoskop (only JPG, not DNG). If only Casio could offer a 25fps or 24fps version...
Take a look:
Casio EX-FC100 and EX-FS10 shoot 6mp stills at 30fps - 1001 Noisy Cameras (http://www.1001noisycameras.com/2009/01/casio-exfc100-and-exfs10-shoot-stills-at-30fps.html)
Edit: I don't know if this post belongs here. If not, please move it.

Wow! you can pre-order this at Amazon for $350
Casio Red Camera for $350 shooting 6MP 30FPS stills. I'm going to be laughing about this one for a long time :D
EDIT: Hmmm looks like only 30 frames in one burst. Too bad.. could be a fun toy though!

It says "High Speed Continuous Shooting"...

It does say that on the camera, but it'd need an awful lot of ram onboard to store those stills at 6MP for more than 30 frames. I sure hope it shoot continuously, along with manual shutter speed. It would truly be amazing.
At this point, these sensors are so cheap, its only a matter of time before another company challenges RED with a small C mount 24fps camera recording 6MP to SDHC.

If it is anything like the frame burst mode of the F1.... it means that it will take 30fps for 1 second.... then stop recording (the F1 can do 60fps though)

This statement is incorrect.
