I want to see jagged motion demo too, but so far so impressive.

This part (around 1:40 of the video) where the ball hangs in mid-air as the guy bounces up and down in the background looks decidedly odd ...

Looks odd but I think it is your brain trying to compensate for the paddle not being there as you know it should but it moves in and out of the frame so fast it appears to not be there at all.

Cool technology.

Wouldn't this be a new tracking technology?

Didn't see a thing about focusing.

ETA: This is not new BTW - my cats have been in possession of this technology for ages now.

I think so too ... possibly related to what's being developed in scopes for rifles ... I think keeping the subject centered in the frame helps keep the it in-focus as compared with exhibiting motion blur.

Well it certainly takes IS to whole new level.

Seems like they're working with a fixed exposure of 1/1000 second though ... they seem to be targeting this at video applications (see references to sports broadcasting), not so much at still photography ...

Well, THAT gave me vertigo....

So V1 keeps the object centered in the frame. Quite impressive!

V2 will keep the object at a rule of thirds point, I think.
