Vision Research million-frame per second camera

My eFlea buddy Dave Ruigh tipped me off to this company’s web site. Vision Research makes CMOS cameras that can take one million frames in a second. You get some pretty cool slow-motion images out of that. Check out the clips on their home page. I hope you realize the significance of the clip showing the horses galloping. This goes back to 1872 when there was a great debate on whether a galloping horse ever had all four hooves off the ground. Photographer Eadweard J. Muybridge was hired by Leland Stanford to settle the question.
[update– I forgot to say the camera cost $125k.]

And don’t forget, the first eFlea of the year is Saturday—bring your money and leave with volume-absorbers for your garage.
