Wait... Wait... Wait... when you mention "This footage is about 10x Real Time speed," you mean you're playing the footage back at 10% speed using a timeline option and without using Twixtor or Optical Flow, NOT that the camera is physically set to shoot at 10x speed. Ok. That makes sense. That, I get. I read your term to be literal in context.

Alright... I am terribly confused by all this. Hell, we broke into a conversation on this very topic at the rental house I use. How do you go from a 60fps 1080i stream to 240fps? That's 4x the speed; even assuming you hybridized the 60fps footage into even and odd fields, that's 120fps with duplicated lines. How do you then slow beyond that? In-camera, that is...

Unless you're shooting a sequence of still images and not video, but even still, that'd have to be a digital shutter... I just don't get it. I know why I rent phantoms, but not how a 5k camera produces a 240fps image. I don't mean to be scrutinizing about this, but even Sony's website lists the camera max at the NTSC standard of 60i... so how could this footage possibly be done without Twixtor or using Motion's Optical Flow?

Curious about the frame-rate you mentioned. A 5k camera shooting 200fps, particularly the FS100?
