I got a video camera

[wdking]

Hi Mike:
I bought a Sony, which doesn't do what I want (eg slow motion).
Could you recommend a couple of brands and models for me to consider.

Thanks,
Wayne

Wayne,

You might have to adjust the shutter speed on the camera you got... which model sony is it?

Hi Mike:
I got a dvd 710

I'm looking at some Panasonic HD camcorders too.

Wayne,

Shoot some swings, burn a dvd of the footage, and use the slo motion on your dvd player to go frame by frame. I have a sony dvd, I make dvds for students and they can do a slow motion playback

Hi Mike:
My computer has a DVD player, but not a burner. But I do own most every software title. Sony comes with a nice little suite of software, but none does a slow motion playback, in fact, none of my software does.
I just bought some dvd +rw discs, which can be reused/re-recorded. But I don't find anything that allows, camera or software, slo-mo playback.
I appreciate your help and guidance.
PS BM's website doesn't speak highly of Sony.

I think what Mike means is if you burn a DVD of your swing you can then slo-mo the footage using your DVD players slo-motion feature. There are lots of free buring software available on the web ; try google "Nero" which is a free burning tool. Make sure your computer has a re-writable DVD player and check that it is compatible with +RW dvd's or -RW dvd's as this does vary depending on your machine. I haven't found a tool that will allow you to burn a dvd of footage shot in slow motion from your line drawing program

Thanks Twitch:

I got it figured out. Windows Media player allows frame by frame playback, which I was very interested in. I simply download my swing from the camera and viola, I can look at it.
