Not sure for the original video, but here's a comparitive video of footage at: 500, 1000, 2500, 5000, and 10000 fps



The photographer that did this video did the slo-mo work in the Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows movie.

Cameria is a Phatom HD (translation: Big $$$)

And on the faster end, here's a comparative video at: 30, 210, 420, and 1000 fps (Camera: Casio Exilim EX-FC100)

Excuse my ignorance, but can slow mo be accomplished when editing your footage instead of using a high priced camera? I'm still pretty green when it comes to video editing, thought it would be a cheaper alternative for us money challenged people.

Sure you can use the software to set the frame rate at whatever you want, but if you only have fifteen frames of the event, you only have fifteen frames. To make fifteen frames last 15 seconds. You will show each frame for a second. Your video will be 30 fps but there will be 30 copies of the original fifteen frames. I think you will see there is a huge difference between that and film shot at 900 fps and slowed down to 30 fps. And that is why people pay big bucks for pro cameras.
