At a famliy weekend.. Everyone is talking, talking, talking.. Uh, what is that? Some Lego.. Oh, and a rubber band.. Hmm, what was it about my camera, it could take low quality, but high speed movies?
Enjoy :)
Yes, you are.
But I must be too, 'cos that looks really cool to me 
…
This camera is so cool ,where did you get it?
And it is fairly cheap too!
Fujifilm HS10 (or HS11 in some countries, is same camera)
Can be found everywhere.
Also has great zoom, check this: These 2 pictures are taken from same spot:

You can take pictures of the moon where craters are totally visible! Cool :D
(And it works as a normal HD
(And it works as a normal HD camera as well, full HD!)
High speed can be taken at better quality - much better, but then it is not so high speed. The videos above are shot at 480 Frames per second. It goes up to 1.000 - that is anough to catch a shooting bullet! Only then it is REALLY crap quality
240 looks much nicer than above, actually fine video quality - but the Lego’s where completely shot like when you shoot legos with a rubbrband - human eye just saw “Bang”, and a everything was all over the place.
There are a couple
There are a couple alternatives to this camera. As far as I remember, gareth owns the casio exilim ex-fc100, which does the same quality slow motion video. However it is still somewhat expensive. I recently bought the exilim ex-fs10, for 80 eur. It also does slow motion video, up to 1000 fps @ 224x56 pixels. I usually shoot 210fps @ about 640x480. It also shoots 720p hd video, and the battery lasts a decent amount of time.
Just my two cents
I would have expected
it a Dane’s national duty to play with lego. When I was a boy with my brother we use use to build cars from lego as strong as possible and then smash them together until one or both fell apart.The winner’s car held together. Would have been nice to film in slow motion but that was way before digital anything. Heheh.
Going to be cool when even
Going to be cool when even HD is cheaply available in fast motion recording!
Just hope the kids today appreciate it, that they can film their chrashes in high speed
the other day i filmed 2
the other day i filmed 2 firecrackers in slow motion, and they look epic.
Kids are really appreciating the slow motion these days.
Let’s see that video! 
Let’s see that video!
I love the low-definition
I love the low-definition slow motion carnage =)

here is one, the other 1 doesn’t look as good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKmAqtgFoLs
the quality isn’t that great, but it still looks awesome.
i can upload the raw footage if anyone wants it.
Drunk Driving Video
This should be a reminder for all Lego people ! “Never drink and drive” or your lego innards will be splattered all over the carpet.
Nice documentation Frits of this horrific tragedy.
