$169 with free shipping.

This is an awesome price! This is the same camera I have and I love it... well, LOVED it. My wife kept dropping it on my kitchen floor and it's fubar.

If you don't have a high speed camera to tape your swing now's the chance to get one cheap. It's not as good as some of the more upper level Casio's, especially when filming in slow motion when there's not much light; but all things considered it's a great camera.

Full speed in low light conditions using the Casio FC-100:




... and here's the same swing when filmed at 210 fsp.



You can see how dark it makes the image if you are not in good light. The more expensive models have features that help with this.

What model works better in low light?

I recommend the FH-100 over the FC-100 simply because you can set your shutter speed manually on the FH and can't on the FC. Makes clubhead blur less and you can tweak it to get more usable shots in lower lighting.

The FH is basically the much acclaimed FH-25 in a different form factor. The FH-100 is $209 right now.

I agree with iacas the extra cash is worth it on the FH because of the shutter speed issue.

While the FH25 is the superior camera the size of it limits its usage for me, very easy to use the slimmer 100.
