RE: My Bow hunting present to myself
 
CONCERNING MOISTURE......invest in some bulk quantity of 'DO NO EAT'.........you know, the silicone absorbent in packages that absorbs MOISTURE! You can buy it either pre packaged or in a bottle and use it when storing your camera, transporting your camera, and first breaking your camera out of its case when arriving at a location.
Always keep your camera if at all possible at the temperature you are going to be using it to avoid fogging up your lens and collecting moisture on your record heads.
Invest in a GOOD RAIN COVER.......and if you don't have one, use plastic garbage bags and duck\duct tape. Carry a small can of compressed air with you always!
Also carry lens cleaning cloths to help absorb moisture and keep your lens clean.
Also buy a screw on CLEAR FRONT FILTER to protect your lens. You scratch it your camera is down. You scratch the lens cover you can replace it.
Have fun, good luck.

the canon gl2 has more vibrant picture quality compared to the sony pd 170. However the gl2 has smaller ccd's.. i believe 3 1/6th ones while the sony is 3 1/4" ccd. The sony is going to be better in low light situations because it has a 1 lux (lux is how well it can "see" in the dark). I think the canon has a 6 lux. Overall for the money the gl2 is a great buy for someone who is wanting to capture great footage but is not wanting to broad cast. The Pd 170 is the same exact picture quality etc. as the sony Vx2100 but the Pd has better audio capabilities. Hence the higher price tag. So if your looking for a broadcast quality camera a pd is great but a gl2 will suite the majority of people video taping there hunts. Hope this helps.

Congrats on the new purchase. I don't know a lot about video cameras, but that one right there is pretty popular amongst treestand dwellers. I''ve seen some nice quality video footage taken with that thing.
