| The features that I wanted were speed (at least 1/2000), manual control over exposure for when I shoot video in the early evening and the sun is low, easy firewire access, and a threaded lens barrel so that I can add a wide angle lens. The wide angle lens allows you to set the camera closer and fill the screen better. The better the screen fill, the better cSwing works for putting in plane lines and identifying swing faults.
It wasn't that I found the Canon superior to any of the other cameras I looked at. It just had all the suff I needed and it was cheaper than several of the others. I got mine at BuyDigi online and it came with a tripod, lens filters, tapes, carrying case, and lcd screen protectors for less than just the camera at Best Buy.
I have had it about 6 months and it has been flawless. I shoot video once or twice a week, depending on my ballflight or if I am working on a new movement. |
