If the second one turns out to work well I think it would be a good investment for a robotics team, especially if a school's physics department is willing to split the cost.
Wow for the cost that second option looks really good. If there are generally good reviews I might look into buying one.

For anyone wanting to buy a high speed camera, remember that you aren't going to be able to use it without a LOT of light. Don't expect to be able to film your super fast whatever when you finish it at like midnight.

I'm a bit disappointed in the lens mount. Most people have EF or F glass, but rarely anything with a C mount. It's nice that they provide a fast lens to use though.
