Yeah the ZR90 is a good camera and I like the feel of the whole ZR series. It did get a hit in reviews for low light situations. Apparently after the ZR60 Canon changed the CCD chip or something and it doesn't perform quite as well under low light as the previous models did. That could be something to consider when filming hunts. Lots of low light situations. But I love my ZR and have used it for turkey hunting footage and it's just the right size. The Built-in steady cam feature helps stabilize the shots as well. They also have some of the best Optical (real) zoom in that price range. My sister bought the ZR95 and loves it. I'd still consider the ZR series, even with the low light limits.

And the ZR80 for $274! Count on buying an extra long life battery and a UV filter lens (protection from scratches in the wild) Also be aware that rechargeables don't do so well in real cold weather, very short charge life if it's cold <50 F.
