    best camera for golf swing analysis

    I am looking for a digital camera that will capture the fastest parts of a golf swing with a clear image so i can view and print this still image.

    High speed cameras are too expensive.

    Are there cameras in the $1500 to $2000 range that can do the job?

    I am assuming i need a camcorder but will a multi-burst still camera create a clear image of the golf swing?
    Thanks

    nikon 1 does 60 fps at full resolution jpg or Raw images

    or 400 fps at much lower res, ok for watching, certainly not for printing, and only 5 secs bursts, which is plenty for a golf swing

    I read the Nikon 1s buffer will fill in a hurry so I don't know how many of those 60fps will be captured.
    The Sony a77 will do 12 FPS and that would be enough I would think. But there are hands on videos all over YouTube.
    I am like Barney Fife, I have a gun but Andy makes me keep the bullet in my pocket..

    Sony a99/a7R
