iPhone kiosk

120 fps is vital if you are analyzing any high-speed movement one frame 
at a time. It has nothing to do with flicker.

If I sell you an ATM machine for your store, do you care one bit what 
kind of hardware is in it? Do you care that the PC in it can surf the 
net or do graphics work? You just want a machine that does its stated 
task, costs you $50/month, and makes a lot more than that through 
customer use.

There is no point in recording at 120 fps to see regular playback, as it will look identical to a recording made at 30 fps. The only reason to record at 120 fps is to see slow motion playback.
