Phantom HD
I have to admit, that when I started seeing all the Phantom models that were coming out, I wasn't really sure how interested I was in them....till now. Vision Research Inc, a company that I haven't real pai too much attention to, has developed it's first high-definition camera that gives 35mm depth of field in either HD or 2K resolutions! This is no easy feat. The Phantom combines the visual quality of high-definition imaging with the high frame rates of specialty cameras, making this the perfect tool for shooting rapidly moving sports events, and fast action. You can also select any frame rate from 1 to 1,000 fps, in increments of one frame per second at HD resolution. The Phantom HD's sensor is new, and very capable of 2K imaging for cinema, or HD for projects geared towards television production The vertical image size can also be changed in 8 pixel increments. Pixels measure 12.5 microns, and 14-bit A/D converters provide sensitivity and image quality that can't be beat. It's been said to actually have the same quality of film. These features insure excellent image quality even at speeds of 1,000 fps, regardless of the job at hand. Vision Research is definitely made a place for itself in the HD world.
