They thought $200 000 per camera was cheap... ;)

Is this for taping things like shooting bullets through apples and glass breaking and things like that?

Upto 100 frames at 1,000,000 fps = 1/10,000 sec. recording time. I'm PRETTY sure my finger can't react THAT fast in hitting the record button to get the right shot. :)
