Metallion, I bought a camcorder earlier this year and did a lot of research before buying it. I wanted something that fit the same specs you listed. I came up with the Panasonic PV-GS15. It has a max shutter speed up to 8000 , and it is easy and quick to set. It is small and very lightweight and takes great quality video (24X optical zoom). You can also take still pictures that are of good quality using a secure digital card. The price is also very very good compared to other similair brands (didn't want to spend over $500).

I use V1 at home and the camcorder works great for this. I have used it several times for filming my swing and using shutter speed at 3000 seems to work best for capturing positions (impact, at the top, etc.).

Here are some reviews about it:

Hope this helps,
