Concept camera shoots 6.1 million fps

For shutterbugs who like to take pictures of fast-moving subjects, nothing beats a dSLR with high frame rates to capture precious moments like scoring a goal or a rally car cornering at breakneck speeds. High-end dSLRs such as the Nikon D3, however, can fire off at only 11 frames per second (fps). A new concept makes the D3 look like a Brownie. Researchers at UCLA's Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have developed a novel, continuously running camera they claim is the fastest shooter ever. In a mere second, it can capture 6.1 million shots with the shutter speed measuring 440 trillionths of a second.
