Shimadzu’s HyperVision HPV-1 camera can shoot one million frames per second, although with a limited clarity of 312 by 260 pixels in monochrome. Still, imagine the excitement of a three hour movie detailing the intricacies of drying paint. Unfortunately, as fast as it is, it can only shoot 100 frames at a time—oh, and it costs $200,000. Still, it won’t be long before we’ll be able to watch paint dry in color.
