Camera Captures 6 Million Images Per Second

A camera that captures 6M images a second? Holy crap! I guess I know what we are using the next time Kyle breaks out the .50 cal and hard drives.

The fastest imaging system ever devised has been demonstrated by researchers reporting in the journal Nature. Their camera's "shutter speed" is just a half a billionth of a second, and it can capture over six million images in a second continuously.

Well I don't think it has any application for our everyday life. Although it can easily be applied in science e.g it would be usefull in studying the movement of atoms etc..

You can't "see" atoms They're smaller than a wave of visible light.

Pwned.... But this CAN help with small objects moving at incredibly high speeds....

Of course i mean capturing the motion through an electronic microscope, i didn't think it was needed to say such obvious stuff...

How much memory would this camera need for a start.
Think about... 6 million pics... Im guessing the camera would be of reason quality (lens and pixels) so surely this would need many GB...
