Cameras:
From personal experience, the best that I've ever owned is the Panasonic PV-GS500. It was the last of the pre-HD models, and it was rated the best in it's class. The picture is superb, because of the 3CCD sensor. It's virtually a news camera, in the size of a small camcorder. It has easy to use aperture and the shutter speed goes to 1/8000.

B & H is selling it for $749.99, and it originally sold for $1000. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...D_Mini_DV.html

Feel free to PM me, and I'll give you any info that I have.

For a multipurpose Vid/SLR the Casio F1 is hard to beat. Down side is its an SLR camera shape and size.

Takes 60FPS with 6mpix clarity in stills, or 30fps over a 2 second burst which can be mint for sequences.

What is super cool is that the Frames Per Second are the actual # of frames recorded as opposed the the shutter speed rating (which can be changed on the F1 to get super clear shots in the sequence. It records in Standard, Full HD, Part HD and High Speed modes. Amazing bang for your buck.

Hook it into a PC and away you go.

Not sure how Full HD feeds into the V1 type systems (mac user here).

For those who do not need to keep tape for ever, a Hard Drive Video camera is quicker to get info into your PC too. A very good point was made about the Pass Though capabilities being a good idea to check for.

3CCDs allow you to use the vid recording modes in lower light as well.

Hi Denny,

Casio uses a high speed USB cable. Plus into any USB port.

I also use the 3CCD Panasonic.

Since I have a small indoor facility, it is perfect for less good light.

I have it connected to a projector that shows the swing on the wall.

When necessery I use Swing View Pro.

The SVP has so many "extras" included and if you miss something on it, just contact support and they will try to add it in the next update. They do support Casios new camera.

I bought a SD memory card (a must) and find it easier to simply pop the card out of the camera into the PC. You can use the USB cord as well.
