A DSLR is way overkill for what the guy wanted to do. He just wants to record some field practice and check his form. Hell, I'd say use a cell phone video camera before going out and dropping 4-figures on a DSLR package. Don't get me wrong, I love my 60d, but I use a little Zi8 because it suits this purpose better.


-Also, the t2i <<< 5d, but that's another topic/discussion entirely.

Saw some other 600 + camera being suggested you are right though should have read the initial post. Of course 5d is >>> but t2i not a bad little package. Had a few Go pro vids posted up but it didn't track the disc all that great. Those Flipcams seem to be the way to go!

Yeah they're handy for sure. I'm trying to put together a project for 2011 Worlds - so my DSLR will get some love in that arena though
