Advice sought on video recorders

Post by morningmist »

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the best place to post, so please let me know if not.

I'm wanting to video record my piano playing, so that I can study my technique. I've never owned or used a camcorder, so I'd be looking for the simplest machine possible. I don't particularly need good audio as I already have an audio recorder. The main thing (I think) is that I can re-play on slow speed so that I can see clearly what I'm doing. Also, if I would play it back via my computer, it would need to be compatible with Apple Mac. Or would I play it through my TV (which is a modern one).

I would very much appreciate any advice on what to look for in a suitable video recorder. And if anyone has any recommendations as to a good make/model, that would be great. This is only for my own use and I'll only use it for piano technique analysis so I'm hoping not to have to spend too much.

Thank if anyone can help.
