I think a lot of the people here are mistaken about the sensor. At your speeds, it doesn't matter what the physical shutter does (if it even has a physical shutter) Most sensors send their information one pixel at a time (or in clumps) rather than all at once, as if it were scanning - like reading a book. It starts on the upper left, reads across, goes down a line and repeats. This allows for a single stream of information to be recorded and requires far less wiring. This is done quickly, but if your need is 9 nanoseconds, then this will be very noticeable. For that, you will need a "global shutter" sensor that reads the sensor all at once. Currently, these are relatively rare and expensive because each sensor has to have its own stream instead of every sensor sharing the same stream. A lot more wiring.
