Vision Research, the company behind the Phantom line of high-speed cameras, has announced the new Phantom S991 high-speed camera that uses "CoaXPress-over-Fiber" technology and can shoot 937 frames per second (FPS) at more than 4K resolution.
Vision Research has announced a new "entry-level" slow-motion camera, the Phantom TMX 5010. While considered an entry-level system, the TMX 5010 can still push up to 1.16 million frames per second.
Vision Research, the company behind the Phantom series of high-speed cameras, has announced the Phantom TMX 7510 and 6410 which are its first to utilize backside-illuminated sensors. The TMX 7510's 75-gigapixel throughput can provide an incredible 1,750,000 frames per second.
Vision Research has announced its latest Phantom high-speed camera, the Phantom v2640. This camera is the fastest 4-megapixel camera ever made, capturing a stagging 6,600 frames per second. Drop the resolution down to 1080p, and you can shoot at a whopping 11,750fps.
If you ever see an ultra-slow-motion clip online, there's a good chance that it was shot using a Phantom high-speed camera. The 12-minute video above is a behind-the-scenes look at how the cameras -- which cost upwards of $150,000 -- are made.
If you've ever used an underwater housing, you know what it feels like to dunk your several thousand dollar DSLR underwater for the very first time. You know it's safe, you double checked everything, you probably already tested the seals, but the moment of truth still frays your nerves.
Imagine, then, how filmmaker Chris Bryan felt when he put his $50K Phantom Flex, $45K Phantom Miro M-320S, and $140K Phantom 4K Flex inside his own custom-built underwater housings and took them out into the waves for the first time?
Typically, slow motion video translates into lower resolution -- when you're pulling hundreds upon hundreds of frames per second, the size of each of those files is a big limiting factor. Enter the Phantom Flex4K, a camera that debuted last year and can shoot RAW 4K video at a blazing-fast 1000 frames per second for 5 second bursts.
And speaking of 'blazing,' the video above was the first test footage released that showed what this amazing camera could do.
You know that beastly Sigma 200-500mm that we've featured twice in the past two days? Turns out it's headed to the World Series to be used for some pretty ground-breaking imagery. A post today by Jakob Schiller over at Wired fills in some interesting details on what the lens will be used for.
If you think male and female photographers sometimes have very different styles, the reason might go beyond their tastes and approaches to shooting. Men and women see the world differently -- literally. A new study by vision researchers have found that the two genders have different ways of collecting visual information.
According to the findings, men are more sensitive to moving objects and seeing small details, while women tend to be sharper in seeing color changes.
