A few nice adobe premiere images I found:

Taken at the Chase Jarvis Hangar Shoot #2.
Special thanks to Chase Jarvis & Crew for hosting a bunch of photo nuts from the Seattle Flickr Meetup group.
Shot on a Casio EX-F1 – the world’s first consumer-priced (4 figure price tag, instead of 5) camera that is capable of high speed video recording. These videos were shot at 300 frames per second, which at 30fps video frame rate meant a 10x slow motion effect (10 seconds in this video = 1 second in real life).
The technical hurdles to shooting high speed video around this setup is quite daunting. The lighting conditions need to be able to properly expose sequentially a series of frames with shutter speeds of anywhere between 1/500 to 1/2000 sec. The point and shoot’s camera’s design does not allow for a huge maximum aperture (it’s F3.2 – F6.3 or something like that). The sensor is 1 1/8" form factor, which meant unacceptable noise level and loss of color saturation above ISO200. To handle the data, a Class-6 SDHC card is recommended. (You can use Class 4, but it will drop frames). And when the video is being recorded, the computational power drain on the camera is so intense that the camera goes into Helen Keller mode – zoom and autofocus is disabled. The controls are "fly by wire", which meant no manual over-ride.
The footage generated is in AVCHD, which at this time is not supported by Adobe Premiere and I have no way of editing (save for some rudimentary cutting in camera. Yuck).
While I’ve worked out technical solutions to work around these limitations, actually finding time to implement them is quite another thing…
That said, this is a VERY exciting camera. As a former science educator, this is the tool I wish I had when I was mentoring high school physics. It puts the power of slow motion analysis, traditionally a very expensive tool, into the hands of a much bigger population. Very cool.
