I should have one in a few days -- thanks again!

Would this camera be any good for replacing the Casios??

"Fujifilm FinePix HS50EXR" -- a quick read of the manual says it does NOT automatically set focus, exposure or white balance during high speed recording (although it doesn't totally make it clear that you have control to change it yourself). Seems to do 120fps at VGA resolution.

This could be it......

Nokia Lumia 1020

The 41-megapixel Pureview sensor includes optical image stabilization, 6-lens Zeiss optics, and a xenon flash, making it the centerpiece for the rear of the phone. It can shoot still images at 38-megapixel in 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios. At the same time as it captures the high-resolution images, it also takes an oversampled 5-megapixel image using the sensor that can then be easily shared thanks to its smaller file size.

The Lumia 1020 supports 1080p video capture, complete with 4x zoom and up to 6x at 720p. Nokia is releasing a Pro Camera app with the Lumia 1020 to take advantage of the sensor and manually adjust flash, focus, ISO, white balance, shutter speed, and exposure.]

Available July 26 for $299 from AT&T

Would be 30 frames though. Still with the shutter could be useful.

casio

You can find some deals on ebay for the casio cameras. I already own the fh100 but was able to get a fh 20 for under $260.Just have to get lucky with your timing.

Hello all,

Just wanted to add another old Casio camera to the list. I got a used Casio FC-150 for ~$80, and to my surprise it could be set to manual exposure! 120/240/420 fps, shutter to 1/40000.

indoor filming settings

Hi, what settings do you use to film indoors with the Casio fh100? Just trying to get my setup perfected. Thanks in advance for any tips.

[John Yandell]

FH 100? Does that have manual settings controls? Sorry I can't keep them all straight.

What I do with Casio FH25 is bump the ASA way up, set the frame rate at 120fps and gradually experiment with the shutter. For club players you'd like to keep the shutter at 1/800, but 1/500 will let you see fairly well.

Let us know what you find out.

youtube

Yes that helped. Another question though, is there a website like youtube that allows you to upload slo-motion videos and then share them? My tennis students were asking and I haven't found the answer yet.

I do see some slo-motion videos on youtube with great clarity.

sd card

Or is it best to just buy sd cards and have each tennis student have their own sd card?

Kelsey,

You can download the Tennisplayer.net clips but you can't upload them to utube due to filming restrictions. It's fine to share them with students by email or on a disc or stick.

I use a new card for every session with every student. If you do a lot of filming this makes the organization simpler.

cards

John can you share where you order your cards in bulk from? And what brand? Thanks!

[John Yandell]

I get them in Marin county from Diversifed Systems. 415-257-8480. The brand is Delkin though I don't think that matters. They do have nice cases. I get 8 gig cards which are more than enough for one session. Ask for Trinka. I am not a big price comparison guy so don't even know if that's the best deal. They have been selling me stuff for like 25 years.
