I wouldn't mind having them videotaped but it is usually all I can do to manage my archery tackle without the added cumbersome video gear. I think that is more of a two person operation. However I just bought a new tiny cheap usb videocamera from pure digital. It could easily be velcroed to the riser of my bow. I actually thougt about doing it but have not as of yet.

Its a lot of fun but it can be frustrating. I had someone video tape my hunts every time I went this season mornings and evenings.That was probably over350 hours. Except when my wife went I was the camera man. I passed up a good buck because we didnt have the gear setup. We use a sony pd-170.

I video tape if I am in a blind and have the motivation to set things up.
I have not had the motivation to rig myself up a treestand video setup.

As a professional videographer I'm not all that familiar with 'consumer' models with the exception of the PD 170, GL1 &2.
I use CANON XL 2 with a veritable slew of add on accessories and it's the type of hunt I'm on which dictate which accessories I put on, which lens to use, which model of support to use, tripod, etc. etc. etc.
the best advice I can always give to consumers is to NEVER be in a hurry to buy a camera. STUDY which models do what and how, have the most possible add on after market accessories, best warranty work, best dealer repoire (NOT REPAIR.....RESPOIRE)......and buy the best camera you can in your budget.
After that it's still STUDY, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, STUDY, PRACTICE....
Subscribe to VIDEOMAKER MAGAZINE. It is the BEST of the magazines on the market to teach CONSUMERS (John Q. Public) how to do almost PROFESSIONAL video.......hands down.
But like everything else it's going to take some investment, alot of practice and alot of learning.
It's now computer based technology which means the learning curve is continous and everyday..... and the new models will all have new bells and whistles that even us old pros have to learn!
Good luck and have fun.

I taped the recovery (60-70yrds) of my Alberta buck this past season. It came out real nice.I was using my Cannon ZR200 digital minicam with 20x zoom. Great quality and awesome sound for a small camera.
