the blades are spinning so fast they look like they don't move

Not 'so fast' so much as 'at just the right speed'. They could be moving really slowly (compared to how fast they should be), for all you know.

Still it's a cool optical illusion

That's the point.

Yes,
The rotor blades are in sync with the video frames, probably a multiple of ~24fps

This is just too cool

But the real question is: Can it run Crysis?

Nothing can run crysis at full visuals

Similar to the helicopter video: http://www.globalnerdy.com/2009/01/13/cheap-camera-interesting-shot/

The camera ain't exactly "cheap".
