Casio Video Camera
 

I am thinking about purchasing a new video camera for teaching on the range. For those of you that have a Casio, which model do you recommend: FH-20, Ex-F1, FC-100 or some other model?

I have the FC-100, I think its 230 on Amazon right now.

Here is a recent video shot at 210 frames, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh6laYQYvKE

You need plenty of light to shoot slow motion, especially the slowest frame rates.

What I like is how easy it is to clip the video's in the camera, no extra computer work. You can view it in the monitor frame by frame as well while you are on the range.

I use it mostly for golf video taping. It only takes so so pictures compared to the market, but nothing other in the market can do the slow motion stuff for this price point.

call me
 

Give me a call and I'll give you all the info that I have. I did some research before I bought my EX-F1. And, I have some good software combinations that work.

I just bought the fh-20, tripod, and software package from C-Swing and although I haven't used it yet- I will say that you can't beat the service/clear commuication that Richard gives- Excellent!!!

EX-F1 is such a great bit of kit that its worth the extra few bucks.

and if I would like to know your thoughts....can I also call you?:thumright

Does it include a "line drawing" tool? :whistle:

call anytime
 

I'd be happy to talk to you.

I put a couple of software packages together for a grand total of $90. And, they work very well.

I bought (stole) my EX-F1 on Ebay for @ $650.

no tools with the camera
 

Jeff Hull says the MacBook loads the video and has drawing tools available for immediate use. Recording an audio/video lesson may not be possible without additional software. But, I've found a way to do it all without the $$$$ to buy V1 or JC.

Using Mac you dont need to convert the format.

There is a softwareprogram for Mac that is developed here in Sweden.

Interested can pm me.

Thanks to Amen Corner, I have been using Swing It Magistern on my Mac for the past 1.5 years. It's very simple, and just plain AWESOME. It does everything I want in this software intuitively without any un needed extras to complicate things. VERY highly recomended!

The Casio F1 is a great tool. You can shoot at standard speed or super slow motion. It also has a 60 frame per second rapid fire camera. You do need alot of light.

The playback screen is great for viewing outdoors. It does not have a drawing tool.

Tell me more
 

Hi Ted,
Now you have me very interested, have been using the camera and am loving it, have been toying with purchasing JC video, but it sounds like you have found a solution, would you mind clearing the fog for me please?
Hope you are keeping well, speak soon,
Ian.
