The number of captured photons is a good hard limit. dalke's answer for ultrafast photography is kind of "cheating" in the sense that they record the same event periodically so they can gather enough light. That technique can't record single unique events that fast AFAIK.
- dalke 11y agoNo, it's not "cheating." The title of my link says 'single-shot'. The underlying Nature article at http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v516/n7529/full/nature14005.html http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v516/n7529/full/nature1... says "Here we demonstrate a two-dimensional dynamic imaging technique, compressed ultrafast photography (CUP), which can capture non-repetitive time-evolving events at up to 10^11 frames per second"
