All the commentary here and no one has mentioned Google's effort to automate a similar task: building 360° rotations of children's toys for holiday shopping. [1]

That's really cool. But if it's a static object then surely you use one camera and a fixed speed turntable and just shoot a continuous stream of shots.

Which has me thinking, can a DSLR take images quick enough that you'd only need to have a rig that orbits the camera around the object at high-speed in order to be quick enough to capture models. The speed needed would be too great for moving subjects I'm sure.
