I don't have any video on the computer, but we do video our turkey hunts. I suggest purchasing a tripod to take with you though if you plan on watching the video. If you try and do it by hand, chances are the video is going to come out lousy, you won't be able to see much because of the camera shaking and wobbling back and forth.

I've got a Canon Optura 20 and it's a very nice camera. I would recommend buying a DV camera (all digital tape) for the best quality. Always use a Tri-pod too, very seldom will you see any of the hunting videos with video not shot off a tripod.

I've been using my camera for a year or so but haven't had any luck getting a turkey in range while using it. I do have some nice elk video from last year but it's 500mb so I won't bother posting the link.

I work at a TV station and I must agree you need a tripod depending on how big the camera is, how good your steadiness is, how far you must walk, and if the camera mounts on your shotgun or bow. Also I'm going to tape my turkey hunt and I'm going to take a small Panasonic DV cam with a tripod and sit it in my blind (bow) and I'm trying to put camo netting on all of the cam but the lens. Lastly, I don't know if you plan on selling this tape or if it's for your own enjoyment, but unless you can operate the camera and your gun or bow- don't do too much zooming in and out, and don't zoom in too tight.
