Another neat piece of kit from NAB comes courtesy of Vision Research and their new Phantom Flex camera.  It sports a nice CMOS sensor capable of 12-bit color depth and 4k images, but what distinguishes it from the competition is the unreal frame rates previously reserved for analog film:

At maximum resolution the camera can capture up to 1,560 frames per second, and up to 2,800 when stepped down to HD res, though an HQ mode is also available which boosts image quality but reduces frame rates to 780 and 1390 FPS respectively. And if you were to take the resolution all the way down to 640×480, you’d be able to record at 6,300 FPS to capture every last particle of that apple you just shot.

Also, the camera can be boosted up to 1,000 ISO to work in low-light situations, and is compatible with 35mm, 16mm, and 2/3″ lenses from all the major players.  No word on pricing, but rest assured it’s out of the means of mortal men.
