Just read these articles about a new method of capturing images from a standard DSLR sensor.

Not only do the scientific applications sound amazing but also the potential standard DSLR applications

I saw this on tweakers.net myself - Makes me wonder if this will open the flood gates on widely available high speed camera's!

The 3rd link isn't working for me at the moment (suspected network problem here) but from the other two, I think I see how they're doing the speed trick. I suspect it would have an adverse impact on the stills captured at the same time as video unless it's a slow moving subject, which negates the advantage of simultaneous acquisition somewhat.
