Most importantly, the footage shot in the video was at 2500 fps native [1] - at 300k FPS you have to use a significantly reduced image size. FPS is bottlenecked by the time it takes to read out the sensor, which is linear in the number of rows in the image. So if you read out half the sensor, you can double your frame rate. You can exploit this to get thousands of frames per second on a cheap machine vision camera. The camera framerate is largely irrelevant. While you can slow down footage by four times (neat), that doesn't mean you can get 300k fps footage out of a compact camera. The great benefit of this technique is really that you can convincingly fake super-slow motion without having to sacrifice sensor resolution. I can easily see this as a cool iOS or Android feature. Maybe if they'd actually used footage that was at the limit of camera technology this would be more impressive (I don't see a technical reason why not?). Why not combine it with super resolution too? Interesting security implications, as cameras with frame rates higher than (I believe) 1M fps are ITAR controlled.
