Camera For Filming Swing

[Region3]

I'm toying with the idea of getting a camera that can record in slow motion, but what is an adequate frame rate for doing that?

The reason I ask is that I'm looking at Casio and Canon. The picture size for the Casio is bigger for 240fps, but the Canon is bigger for 120fps.

Thank you

My camera is only around 30fps for it's "slow mo" bit and it does a good enough job I reckon...It's main function isn't filming in slow mo, so I can't moan. 120fps will be loads.

I have a Casio EX-FH20 that does slow mo, great quality and massive zoom too so you can be more discrete with the recording. If I can find somewhere to host the file then I can post one online, but there are plenty on YouTube to see.

The Casio Ex-Zr100 seems a good buy for about £250 or less if you search around online. Test Video
How much is the Canon in comparison?

Bob will be the man to ask. I think he films lessons so should have a good knowledge of what camera.

That's the Casio model I'm looking at, but can get it for £150 as an official Casio refurb with 6mth warranty which will do for me.

Good idea, I never thought of looking on Youtube.

Just had a look and I think I' prefer the 240fps.

Does anyone have any other camera recommendations other than Casio or Canon?

 

[Phil2511]

Was looking at the Casio as well. The Zr100 seems the best value for the amount of use. I would guess Bob uses the FH20 or 25 as he will be looking for more than you or I. £150 is good with a 6 month warranty. Best I seen so far was £210 new and not import. Where'd you see for £150?

240fps seems best as most the high speed videos of players swings are 300fps so not that much behind. Plus most of those guys swing much faster than we do.

On eBay. Some there for £170 new as well.

I've found that Casio make a great slow mo camera for a good price.
The EX FH 20 is good but a bit bulky for everyday use while the compacts are just as good much easier to carry around. And cheaper.
I use the Casio EX FC 150 which I find very good. It's very similar to the EX FC100 that RickG uses.
Heres an old man's swing taken with my EX FC 150

nice

if i was hyper critical you go past the horizontal, maybe puts your timing out sometimes.

i bought a kodak Zi6 reconditioned off ebay about a year ago

its a HD pocket camera, does 60fps and cost me £45.

60 frames per second is plenty for me,

This my swing filmed at 60 fps

(ps its at the start of the season, like to think i've stopped the over the top movement now )

Odd. The one I'm looking at isn't on there. Is it an old page you have bookmarked?

This is the one I'm most keen on at the minute.

Just searching the web and found it on Ebuyer £10 more but brand new with a free leather case and free 4GB card. Plenty in stock too.

Good camera Bob but does it have a premature aging mode as standard?

I have the Casio Exilim FH-20 and its great. Supports up to 1000fps but you would not use that for golf, 240fps is about right for a swing.
