Reading through the GX1 manual and I find it has a “super high speed” shutter mode which knocks out up to 20 shots a second. Image size is substantially degraded but it has to be tried out. Let’s drop a ten baht coin into a bowl of water….
In it goes, and then it bounces out again:
Even at 1/2500th of a second the coin is blurred and the images are pretty crap. Fun though, and when she who must be obeyed gets home we can try dropping cats from a height until one of them breaks. And if anyone has any spare eggs I have a sharp spike I could drop them on.

2012-01-07| Spike saysSad really, but I actually get excited about stuff like this.
2012-01-07| Pete saysCan’t you try dropping the cats into water? That way they won’t break, and it would be a load of fun to photograph. Cats love being dropped into water.
2012-01-08| Wally saysWhen SWMBO hears what you have planned for her beloved cats it won’t be a sharp spike that gets eggs dropped on it, it’ll be a blunt Geordie Spike - let’s hope the eggs are hard boiled, or better still, rotten.
2012-01-08| Spike saysCats on spikes, now there’s a plan.
