High Speed Cameras

I was thinking it would be awesome to use high speed cameras to film some of my basic stamp projects. Do you know of any that are around $100?

You could probably find an old canon SD### digital camera for $100 that has the "fast frame rate" feature, which captures video at 60 fps, at I belive VGA quality. Most cameras only capture at 15 or 30 fps at most in normal recording mode. If anyone knows where to get a real (>60fps) high speed camera for $100, I'd also be interested to know about it!

It really doesn't matter if it is digital or traditional photography, high speed cameras usually are more expensive. 60fps is not very high [noparse][[/noparse]compared with 800fps or better]. Mere higher shutter speed cost a premium - look at the jump from 1/2000 shutter to 1/8000 in Nikon Digital Cameras - big bucks.

Of course, if that 60 fps is all you need - it is in the ball park.

Buying second hand can be the best way to save. Try EBay or look for a broke university student that has had an interest in high speed photography. Generally a camera store is your last choice as they usually know the value of everything.
