Almost any new digital camcorder will work great, but you want to make sure it has a high speed shutter setting. Set the shutter speed as high as possible (which means you'll need a lot of light... day light is perfect). You're still only shooting 30 frames per second, but each shot will be sharper (less motion blur) as the shutter speed increase. High-end cameras can go up to as much as 1/10000th of a second, but even 1/500 would be great. Standard, default shutter speed is 1/60th.
For playback, you can use the same camera with a remote control. Just press play, then just before the swing press pause. Then use the frame advance button to move 1 frame at a time. Multiple presses of the frame button will increase the speed... to slow motion.
Good luck!
Adjust the frame rate
in a converter will not give you a slow motion. The tools I know can do this is
Cinema tools, it can confirm your 60P file to 30P slow motion. But you can't
import MXF directly into Cinema tools as it only supports ProRes codec. So you
can use Pavtube MXF converter for Mac to convert the MXF to Cinema tools format
and keep the original frame rate, then import the ProRes file into Cinema tools
for confirm.
