High fps camcorder or camera

[Shaun Palmer]

Evening everyone

I know there won’t be a simple answer to this question as it’s quite vague but I don’t know where to start or what to look at

I’m after a camera or camcorder that will record over 300fps in at least 720p

Google is a minefield and wondered if anyone has any personal input

I don’t want to buy new, it’s just for a little bit of fun really so don’t want to spend a lot.

I have a GoPro hero 3+ that does 240fps but it’s at wvga quality for that frame rate, which is ok when it’s very bright but otherwise useless at the resolution when it’s a bit dim.

I didn’t really want to spend more than a couple of hundred quid but I know that maybe optimistic lol

Thanks

Shaun

What is it for? Think iPhone 6s onwards do about 350fps...

My Sony Xperia XZ Premium has a few slow motion options all at 720p resolution which you may be able to pick up a used one from CEX or somewhere:

1. Film as normal with the option to press the slow motion button to capture that moment at 960fps (short burst) and then it will continue recording as normal until you press the button for another slow motion shot.
2. One shot 960fps for a short bust
3. Record at 120fps continuously and then you can choose after the recording how much or little you want in slow motion using a simple slider.

It also has a pretty amazing 3D Creation system where you can film objects, people etc and it will create a genuine 3D model from the footage.
