Phantom cameras are routinely used in research, going up to 100-200k fps. But the image size is silly, like 64×64 or 128×128.

You may also want to check out the new Visa Black Card commercial (www.blackcard.com) produced by Brain Farm Cinema (http://brainfarmcinema.com/). Several shots in the commercial were done with the Phanton HD.

Of course, if you want REAL speed you need a streak camera. Hamamatsu has a model that can get down to 200 femtosecond temporal resolution. Sure, it’s not something you take camping to document your illegal rocket experiments, but still… fast is fast ;)
[Just for the record, my camping trips involve *legal* explosives experiments. :-) --J.]
