Canon Digital Pocket Cameras

High end photography on a budget.

Need a new Digital camera for around $300 , with HD and good FPS?

Well I need a new camera anyways , but I want something that I can use to analyze my golf and bowling swing.. For both sports I plan on taking a bunch of video from different angles then viewing them on the computer in slow motion.. I know Actual video cameras are better and nowadays not much more expensive than a digital camera but I still cant just throw one in my pocket ..

So what is needed for me to be able to take a Hi quality video ? Is it FPS, a certain zoom, I really dont know,..

Oh and Im trying to keep the cost under 300, Unless there is something that really is leaps and bounds above the rest of the pack.. Heres one I was looking at, but dont know what alot of the specs mean

Canon - PowerShot 14.1-Megapixel Digital Camera - Silver - SD1400 Silver
EDIT*** Im also looking at this one.. Its new but looks really nice as well… Thank you both for the quick replies!!!

SD3500 IS

    There is the Canon PowerShot SX20 IS, which has HD(ish) video quality. It has 12.1MP and 20x Optical Zoom, but it’s more of a zoom camera than action camera, it does have a sports mode though. It costs $359 on Amazon.

    The SD1400 seems like a good buy. With the HD video and all. I think the Fisheye effect is cool.

    When buying a Point&Shoot camera. Stick to the best and most well-known brands. Panasonic and Canon make great Point and shoots. Nikon’s P&S cameras are pathetic. Canon probably makes the best P&S’s for the best price. I’d stick with them. Nikon is good for DSLRs though Some Canon peers are better.

    I have used 3 Canon Point-and-shoot and have not been disappointed.

    I would suggest Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 12.1MP with 18x POWER Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD.
    High-speed 1.2-second start-ups, AF speeds of approximately 0.3 second, and up to five consecutive shots at 2.3 frames per second with full resolution.
