On the description of "Slow Motion", it says "on a very high-speed camera." Shouldn't it be slow-motion camera?

Nope, high speed camera is correct. This I know from watching too much Mythbusters.

A high speed camera means it is capable of taking more frames per second, and since there are more frames available to display per second when you play it back, then it appears in slow motion.

So if your camera is snapping 300 frames every second (ie high speed), and you play it back at 30 frames per second, then one second will take 10 seconds to watch.

One real type is, at the end they spelled "Colorado" wrong. There's some irony for you.

I'd love to have a high-speed camera. I'd be breaking so much stuff in front of it.

My cousin was on a test project with a camera that took 1 mil frames per second. He has some videos of bullets being shot, explosions, ect. Cool shit to watch.
