Judging from the price quote on the above post, this is the daily rental cost.

its looking like the SUMIX SMX 12A2C which can do 120fps at 1280x720 and costs $2000 in conjunction with a post retiming application is the most solid low cost slowmotion solution i can see at this point.. in addition the 12a2c makes a great 24fps camera for shooting an entire movie as well :)

I just looked at the Sumix 12A2C and it looks very promising. Its Pretty much the same exact thing as the Silicon Imaging mini camera that was all the rave without the silly $14,000 price tag. i mean from what i can see. (don't slap me in the head). it has all the right specifications. Nice! i need to save up for it now.

The Sumix 12A2C has:

Frame rate at resolution*:
60fps at 1920 x 1080 (75/150MHz)
120 fps at 1280 x 720 (1/2 inch)

...Forgive me for thinking that the Casio EXILIM Pro EX-F1 does the same thing.

I'm sorely tempted into buying the EX-F1 only for my high-speed work. I can't see another alternative. Can get them new in the UK for under £450 now, free next-day delivery.

Combine the 60fps full frame 1920X1080 with Twixtor to slow it down some more in post and I think I may have my solution. I wonder if I could somehow fix the Letus to it?
