Some good examples (with shot notes) of what can be done with basic High
Speed cameras can be found in our Abuse Of Power series.

The technology we've used to shoot them has evolved quite a bit since the
first round of videos, and we're constantly trying to improve them.
They are currently shot on Sony NX5's (our main cameras), an FS-100 (super
pretty shots and artsy stuff, very basic high speed), and an Edgertronic
(the poor-man's high speed camera).
I think our current max framerate for anything is about 17kFPS with a
resolution roughly equivalent to a well tuned potato.
