Must try it again. When I tried to watch this a few days ago, wouldn't run - somewhat less than amazing

edit - just watched it - and worked this time. Although not having benefit of 4k resolution - still pretty good!

WOW! FANTASTIC. Smeggy . When do you sleep?
CHEERS Vic.
Born again biker with lots of Pentax bits. Every day I wake up is a good day. I'm so old I don't even buy green bananas.

Impressive, the fastest I've ever shot was 250fps and that was on film. 400 feet gone in one minute.

You have to remember that everytime you double the frames per second speed you lose a stop so they've lost 5 stops.

I used to have a measly 2.5 Mb/s connection but I recently upgraded from copper to fibre and now have a 75Mb/s ( 18Mb/s upload ). Made an amazing difference to the Net experience.

A marketing company I have have dealings with have 2, but the price is on the steep side at over £100.000 EACH.

So they should be good as this video shows.

Very nice.

The weird thing is how quickly it becomes normal. I moved to FTTC earlier this year and get about 74/17, and it no longer seems fast.

I think it's the same with cameras. When I got my K-5 it seemed pretty whizzy; now it's pedestrian, but my K10D is positively glacial.

I'm very reluctant to pay another £20 on top of my already exorbitant charges by Sky. Reading their forums it's not always a better service.

Finally got to watch this. It wasn't as entertaining as the video we were shown on a firefighting course. That had been shot in Sweden and brought home to the course candidates that there is no such thing as a "training" fire as the situation quickly escalated from "light blue touch paper" to "Out of Control"
