What is a good camera to use for waterfowl hunting.?
I love waterfowl hunting and im wanting to catch some footage, what is a good and reasonably priced camera that would get the job done? And if you have any links to the camera or a example of the video it takes please post.

I use a little Nikon Cool Pix. It takes great photos and pretty darn good video. The zoom capability is not the greatest so birds that are out there a couple hundred yards are tough to see. But all in all it is a great little camera.
Here is a video of my last hunt of 2010, it does a good job demonstrating the clarity of the camera and if you watch good you can actually see my mallard falling out of the sky. You might have to watch it a couple times as I did not have it zoomed tight but you can see the mallard fall in front of the snow background. I am almost always running the camera and hunting myself so it is difficult to zoom on anything as it is happening so I keep it set at a fairly wide angle to capture as much as possible.

you might also want to check out this video of mine just to get another look at the clarity

for less than $200 it is a pretty good deal and easy to use, especially if you are filming yourself.

the sony handy cam is fine and not too pricey either. also you'll want a tripod, which you can get a radioshack for like $20. and it does help to have the camera man sit a little behind the shooters. this allows you to move a little bit more then if you were set up as a shooter since the birds are mostly focused infront of them.
