This is a great explanation! Not that I can verify whether it's accurate because I'm also clueless when it comes to cameras. But if it's correct, you're a hell of a teacher 😄

photographer here. Yea, its generally just that. The Nokia with a super bright flash can capture the thing with enough light in1/8000th of a second (or thereabouts). The disk doesnt noticeably spin in 1/8000th of a second

Whereas the iphone needs to open the camera shutter for a longer time, to let more light in, because it lacks a powerful flash. So the disk turns a lot in 1/250th of a second, or thereabouts

none of the shutter speeds are shown in the video, so IDK the numbers exaclty, but my guesses are probably pretty close

You can even see this effect for one frame of the video where you can see whole disc right after flash. Very interesting for me.

So in theory you can do this with new camera, you just need powerfull flash?

yup!! u js need a camera/phone that can take a pic with a quick enough shutter speed and a good flash. every mirrorless or dslr camera should be able to recreate this effect, not sure about phone cameras tho :P
