RE: Camera Buffs
Personally I use a Fuji Finepix S5000 for hunting and fishing. Comparable price and love the quality and ability to add filters/lenses. With my 1 gig card, I can take 15 minutes or so of video with it that does not come out choppy. Good luck on your search.
For finer photos, I use the Canon EOS 5D but definately would not take that out hunting.
