best DIGITAL extreme SLOW MOTION option? at DVinfo.net

hey,
is there a good option for burst capture of extreme slow motion at close to high definition resolution? like 300fps or higher?

i've been away from the boards for awhile but i recall a few years ago people were experimenting with imaging systems designed for scientific purposes that could capture direct to disk at high speed... i wouldn't mind lugging a full pc/capture card system around if it was just for a few specific slow-mo shots.

..i've also noticed that there are some digital still cameras that are getting very close to achieving some nice slow-mo burst acquisition, but none of them seem to be quite there..

if anyone has been keeping tabs on this stuff, any info would be appreciated.

thanks,
eric

High speed footage goes straight to internal RAM or perhaps a computer. Tape isn't fast enough to do HD at the speeds you are talking about. What camera will you be using that can output a high-fps stream?
