user5843: I want to play around with slo-mo videos but don't have proper gear for it. Is there a way to get my D5100 to shoot at a high fps (maybe by reducing the video res)?

user5660: I think you're out of luck. 
Official specs say 30fps max, and I can't find any documentation of a possible hack.

The most widely distributed slow-mo camera is probably the iPhone 5s-- I bet you could borrow one to play around with.
