The higher the FPS the more shots per second the camera is taking. So the camera is shooting “faster” ; playback at a standard 30FPS will be in slow-motion.

The main selling point of 60 fps or even 300 fps is not high playback rate. The point is to take video of high-speed activity and then extract the frames of interest. Sports, science and engineering projects, etc.

Wanna take a picture of a model rocket takeoff? Not gonna happen at 5 fps or even 30 fps. How about a high quality picture of a weightlifter at the top of his lift? You’ve got 0.9 seconds for the whole lift, so with a regular camera the question is how fast is your trigger finger? A baseball batter at the moment of contact with the ball?

True, but 300 fps would be awesome for super slo-mo sports shots or analyzing other quick events.

You wouldn’t want to watch playback at 300 fps. The point would be to shoot at 300 and playback at 30 — super high quality slow-motion playback (1 second recorded at 300 fps = 10 seconds when played back at 30 fps).

Handy for nature shots, sports and p0rn.
