Hi Guys,
I recently found this awesome ~150$ camera online. Takes 1080p video at 30fps, and 720p at 60fps!!!
Has a killer macro mode, I haven't tried it with my lasers yet though

here are some samples
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZWe0vHJWqQ (make sure to click "watch in HD") 720p at 60fps macro shot

Only downside imo is the quicktime movie output, but i have software that handles it OK.

"What kind does it take? I have a bunch of 8GB Memory Stick Duo Pro's (like for PSPs, and regular cameras), but does this take something else?"

It takes SDHC cars, up to 32 GB. I bought a 16GB class 6 for about 35$ from buy.com

Can you post the source files for a video?  YouTube is great but it adds it's own level of compression making it harder to judge quality.

I'm on a waiting list for the Canon 5D Mark II but something like this would be killer.  I could destroy it and not get too upset for that price  ;D

Sure, I can upload a raw video to rapidshare. What mode? 1080p at 30fps, 720p at 60fps, or 720 at 30fps?

Ok.

1080p@30fps: http://rapidshare.com/files/179040737/1080_30.avi.html
720p@60fps: http://rapidshare.com/files/179041540/720_60.avi

The movies come out at .MOV, but I find that they run better renamed as an .avi, so feel free to play around with that.
