I've only played with the demo of Surfcam.
Been using MasterCam for a year or so now. As the other guys stated, once you learn one, the transition to another is not too tough. I've used about a dozen CAM programs over the years and once you learn the syntax and the menus you're good to go.
I just got an email from SurfCam announcing it's online interactive training. That may prove to be helpful.
