Worlds Fastest Camera Defies Gravity...

For a split second.

Recently I saw a demonstration of what is described as
the worlds fastest TV camera... it is so fast it can
reveal (I am reminded of... how do you spell it,
Muybridge (?)) that water contained in a balloon,
remains motionless for a period after the balloon
"skin" is no longer present.

The lens on this baby is as large as your face, and
works under ordinary lighting, not strobes.

Anyone know what shutter speed this would translate
into, if we wanted to do it with an ordinary still
film camera?

I guess, to be realistic, I should ask what strobe
duration would be required, since I doubt no
traditional camera could come close...

(right?)
