Can you do super slow motion using a NIkon D5000 DSLR?

I have a Nikon D5000 DSLR and i would like to know if there's anyway of me taking a video of a balloon popping and the water staying in the same shape that the balloon was.
If there's how can i do it?

This isn't done by the camera alone, any DSLR, or film SLR, can do it.

What you need is high speed flash gear, and a trigger to set them off. You put the camera in a dark room, open the shutter, and leave it alone. The flash is what gives you the shot.

Google can help you both understand how this works, and find the necessary components to do it yourself.

Shooting such shots is really freezing motion, NOT slow motion.

Slow motion video or motion pictures are shot using special high speed cameras. They are so expensive, people who need to use them, rent them.

Here is how Chase Jarvis shoots his "frozen splash shots"

This isn't super slow motion and no, no consumer level camera is capable.

What you're asking is freeze frame. That's usually done at 1/1000, 1/2000 or more of a second shutter speed and yes your camera will do this but, everything has to be synced together to get this type of shot… No way a human finger can do that.

I agree, there's very specialized equipment you'll need to get that particular shot.

Now, you can experiment of course, taking shot after shot of a balloon and you might get lucky and get the shot you want but that's exactly what it would be, pure luck.

So, good luck

What you mean is high speed photography, the opposite of slow mo.

The technique is, camera on tripod, in a totally dark room, shutter held open on the 'B' setting (you'll need a cable release to do that).

You trigger a manual flash set to low power close to the subject, you trigger the flash not the camera, you can use sound detectors (that's how they get the 'popping' balloon), break an Infra Red beam, short out two wires with a metal object (usually a bullet passing through a playing card), a vibration detector, etc.etc.

The duration of a flash on low power is around 1/50, 000th of a second, it's this fast flash duration that freezes the action.

Video, no. You need something in the region of 4000-8000 fps high speed camera.

Stills, yes. Long shutter speed in a dark studio, and a strobe triggered by sound.
