Photron APX-RS 250K fps camera -- almost the fastest

We have to admit it, Photron's APX-RS is a pretty impressive camera, given that it can capture full-frame video at 3,000 frames-per-second and has a top speed of 250,000 fps. And the videos this cam is capable of — like the pictured 4,000 fps clip of a water balloon being punctured — are well worth checking out. But, guys, we hate to break it to you: you don't have "the fastest top speed in the industry," as you claim. That honor belongs to the Shimadzu HyperVision HPV-1, which can capture a whopping million frames-per-second at 312 x 260. But we will give you some cred for doing it in color; the Shimadzu only does it in mono, and their water-balloon video isn't nearly as slick as yours.
