I find it impressive that today's cameras can achieve such high shutter speeds, but I wonder how accurate are these speeds. When cameras are represented to achieve speeds of 1/8000th of a second just how close do they get? Is it perhaps "close, but not quite" or are they 100% on spec? Are you aware of lab tests that verify the manufacturer's claims?

I know that they do test for accuracy on a sample basis. But whether the accuracy is 10%, 5%, or somewhere inbetween, or even variable depending on the shutter speed, someone else will have to tell us. I do know that a 10% change in exposure is hardly noticeable. Most cameras can only go down to 1/3 stop increments (33.3%) and most of the time most people will not see that difference.
