Sometimes smaller is not better. I would be asking whether the camera is designed for use on a tripod. Bigger cameras are easier to hold still and the controls are probably easier to use simply because there is more room on the camera body.
If I were making a buying decision for capturing golf swings, and had glowing reviews from Brian about the Casio FH-20, FH-25, I would hesitate to buy something else based on Internet specs.
B&H is notorious for upselling. They will downsize a battery, and then try to sell you a highly marked up replacement. Obnoxious, pushy sales people.

Both FH25 & FH100 can be mounted on a tripod as most cameras.
Size is a matter of preference, use etc. Bigger is easier to hold steady when hand-held, controls are usually bigger, better laid-out etc. Smaller fits into a pocket, weighs less..
If your primary use is golf swing videos, you cannot go wrong with Casio's.
Wouldn't it be nice to able to say that I have 1080p
, but I'm actually perfectly happy with 720p for occasional HD videos.

I'd like to bump this question for anybody who often uses their Casio FH25.
Which settings are the best combination of clubface visibility and image quality? Are there any different tips for lower light? Stuff like that.
Thanks!
i've got the EX-FH25 and its a great little camera for the price. Use with Sanyo eneloop rechargeable batteries and can get decent life from them. Havent played around with the settings in terms of lighting with the highspeed stuff, but here is the quality on a pretty overcast day with default settings at 240fps

aim, camera aside...you have a nice looking move, especially the down swing, no underplane issues at all and a wonderful tumble.

To solve blur you need to set the shutterspeed as high as possible. Problem with that is that you need a decent amount of light to still get a good picture.
I got a FH-100 on ebay for $110 complete, including shipping. It's been very good.
I just checked ebay, and didn't see any deal that good, but it's worth keeping an eye out.

Here's a little reality tip.
Be prepared to learn to edit video, particularly if you are shooting solo.
Much better if you have a helper shooting the video and managing on/off.
When using the delay timer, you get a bunch of superflous footage, so to speak.
The higher the shutter speed, the slower the review process.

1/2000 should be good in a decent amount of light. You can go down little by little if it is too dark. I have the FH-20, I know the 25 has the backlightling, does that make it lighter even if the shutter speed is higher?
After you give it a try can you post up the results? Thanks
BTW headed home to BC for the holidays, will it be warm enough to golf? LOL

Good for you! My parents live in the middle in the Okanagan Valley where it is a lot colder and snowier so I do believe your advice is best.
Happy Holidays.
glcoach, thanks.. one thing, can you define what you mean by tumble? tried doing a search but didnt come up with much
