I have the Canon Ultura, and it does do a pretty good job also, especially in well lit areas. However, I find in low light areas, it's kind of crappy.
This is the one I have, I like it alot: Sony DCR-HC85
Like greenkill said, get a tripod and you'll be fine.

Hi Mikie 
Any camcorder will do if it's only for your own personal training use, consumer digital cameras are dirt cheap now days. If you're having light problems you can add more light if you're at home and use the least expensive digital camcorder you can find; if you're in a pool hall you'll need a higher end camcorder that has an adjustable iris so you can let more light in. Depending on your intentions you may also need a wide angle lens attachment so you can view the entire table. Unless you have some way of raising the camera up in the air about 10-12 feet you're not going to like the results; here again, it depends on what you want to accomplish.

I used a friends Sony Camcorder today that's an older 8mm tape model.Although it's not perfect, it was sure adequate enough to have fun with.My friend and I only recorded our shooting if we had a succesful break(my break needs work...LOL) and an on shot at the lowest numbered ball. I've got three legitimate break and runs recorded and one Bert Kinister special where I missed a shot and editted it for another runout.
My goal is to make a 30 minute to 1 hour tape of miss free break and runs.I'm going to try and watch myself (from time to time) performing break and runs and see if it helps me subliminally/mentally.Does anyone think watching a tape with no miss break and runs will help? RJ

Can it help? NO QUESTION in my mind.recoveryjones said:
The basics of NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming)
suggest that putting yourself in a powerful state of mind by "re-playing" or remembering previous victories is one of the best things you can do to build confidence. And we all know that confidence is essential to making shots. In fact, just replaying the tape of runouts will give you (some of) the benefits of actually shooting balls in practice. I'll bet this is being done by many pro players before matches, but if it isn't, it should be!
