120fps out of a normal digital camera?

Hey Guys and Gals,

Ran into this little vid clip on YouTube and the poster claims the camera is actually shooting at 120fps.

My question is, does anyone know if in fact it is 120 individual frames.

Or is it some type of twitter thing going on.

Thanks in advance!

Yes from what I gather it does shoot 120. As a matter of fact according to the specs it goes up to 240fps. The thing is....how useful is it to you? The higher in frame rates these cameras go...the lower in resolution they are. There have been a number of compact cameras that shoot 200 -300-1000 fps. But the resolution is often much less than standard definition (barely good enough for even YouTube). Pick your poison.
