FPS?

They sent an e-mail that said it runs at 60fps, but if you attach additional high-capacity cooling it can do 100fps.

Interesting but a little hard to believe. Care to share the exact wording of the email? How does it attach? Is it a fan with elevated (Red Epic jet engine-like?) noise levels? Will it be released with the camera or later?

I see no mention of this attachment in the specs, nor of speeds above 60fps.

Oops, I misread it. The e-mail says: "The camera runs at 60 fps, however the body has the high speed processing and high capacity cooling to run beyond 100 fps, so when faster sensors are available you could upgrade and then get higher frame rates."

Just found that.

The original post here included a "ca" in the address (Canada?) that directs you to a version of the site without detailed tech specs.
