I run Play In School - College Recruiting Videos.

My advice is for simple "video review" sessions or even DIY recruiting videos you can save a ton of money by not going with High Def. High Def will not make your son throw harder or swing faster! If you plan on using the camera for family events etc, then go for High Def. You'll love the crispness and clarity. Well worth the money.

The "hard drive" that Eric referenced means that the video camera has no removable tapes or cd. It has a built in hard drive. You connect the camera to your computer to export the footage. Or you can connect it directly to a TV via RCA cables. This is great for "review" sessions. You can even use a dry erase marker to draw on the TV. Works great.

Price varies. You can get a Sony Handycam for example for less then $400. Or you can get every bell and whistle and spend as much as you want.

Good luck. Have fun.
