Shock Sensor Question

Consider a high-speed camera. Even a low-end camcorder delivers 50
or 60 fields per second (depending on video system). Plug the signal
into a computer (digital camcorder makes that easy) and measure the
displacement over time, from field to field.

What sort of bandwidth and displacement do you think you'll be
measuring?
