Also im going to get a camera soon but im just looking for something smaller and cheap like under 500 bucks. What is a good camera for 500 or less that has good video quality and decent low light quality. Im going to be attending SIU this fall and my cousin who is in video down there is going to edit all of our hunts and make a movie for us. And would Mini DV be reccomended or what would some of you guys reccomend for good quality. We want to start off small and work our way up to bigger and better these next couple years. Any help to get us on our feet and started would be greatly appreciated.
