Adam Wilt (Click here) is right now testing the camera. He shot the 240 fps test video on top and writes: “you’ll see increased noise in the 480 and 960 fps clips as a result, though Sony cautions me that the multi-layer circuit boards still need to be optimized to reduce crosstalk: this camera is a “fairly good, stable, underperforming engineering sample”, and shipping versions may well yield cleaner images.”
Andy Shipsides shot this 480 fps you can see on vimeo (Click here).
Hangman shot another 200fps mode @1080p video you can see on vimeo (Click here).

According to BHphoto (Click here) the camera will ship on June 30th.

Haven’t seen the video yet, but is it because he has to crank the gain up in order to get the shutter speed required to shoot at 240fps?
Edit: Sorry I meant 480 & 960 fps. Those would require a fairly serious amount of light.
Yes…you are bang on target ! For the same exposure in each frame (480 or 960) the gain has to be increased because exposure time has reduced.CMOS sensor are capable of very high speed read operation…so I don’t think cross talk is some issue.
The fact that sony offers 4K and 1080/200p in a camera of such price is absolutely amazing (though i still would prefere a pmw-f3 like design). If we are really lucky the price of the f3 will fall with the upcoming fs700 beeing launched, as it has great handling and absolutely stunning high gain and general image performance.
