As far as I know, you cannot take simultaneous shots with this
"super-Nimslo". I've seen it a couple of years ago at a mall in
the USA, but it was a bit too expensive as a gadget. You can set
two or three different speeds. I _suppose_ they are using some
diagonal shutter blades in order to achieve the sequential shots
with the exactly same shutter speed, which would mean that one
cannot get any pictures at the very same moment.
