Comparing products can be tricky, here's some information to help make the right decision:

Digital Camcorder Information
Everything you do in regards to giving a lesson revolves around the capture and replay of video in a crystal clear frame-by-frame format.  Manual Shutter Speed control in the camcorder is the critical component used in the video capture process which enables the software to replay the video with exceptional clarity. 

Still Cameras that record Video are now compatible with JC Video Software programs on all levels, using this type of camera is very convenient if you are recording outside and reviewing inside.  This type of recording is a 2 step process, first you must record the swing into the camera, then connect the camera to the computer and import the video files.  While this is very simple to do, it does require an additional step.  If you have a system on the range, it is much easier to record directly into the computer. 

Some camcorders use the ‘Sports Mode’ feature instead of Manual Shutter Speed, this produces a blurred image through the critical impact area…avoid cameras with a ‘Sports Mode’.  Avoid motion analysis companies who recommend camcorders with ‘Sports Mode’.  Sony cameras use 'Sports Mode' and are not recommended.

• Manual Shutter Speed settings
• DV (firewire) port

Video Ram  

To check the video ram in your computer: 
choose: Start/Run
Enter 'dxdiag' and choose OK
A message will appear regarding windows certified drivers, choose NO
When the DirectX Diagnosis window opens choose the Video Tab
In the main body of text on the left look for the line Approx Video Mem.
We recommend a Minimum of 64mb although some computers will run on 32mb

Make sure you purchase a computer that has what you need now and will support future updates or upgrades.  Additional Firewire ports can be added to any computer allowing for multiple camcorder connections. 

Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7 (32bit)
