camcorder for filming hunt
 
I'm thinking about maybe getting a camcorder for filming my hunts. I will have to do it by myself. I know nothing about camcorders so I will need ya'lls help. I saw the new kodak playsport

Or would you buy a different kind from like best buy or somewhere like that? Hard drive, flash drive, mini dv?

What is your price range? There are several different options and it all depends on how much you want to spend. I currently use a Canon GL1 and GL2, they are older model prosumer cameras but produce great quality video at a fraction of the cost. You can get a used GL1 for under $500 and GL2 for under $700--Ebay. You MUST get a solid camera arm and head or the video will be shaky. Go to Campbell Outdoors for suggestions http://www.campbellcameras.com. If you are going with a consumer HD camera sony and canon both make some great models for $600 or less. These are smaller model cameras but should work for you. I personally would not go with the playsport if you want decent quality video. When I first started out I tried to go with the cheaper set up and it simply does not work.

Camera
 
I have filmed hunts for several different tv shows. I currently have a Canon XL1S and it is like all other eloctronics depending on what you want to try and do with it its hard to stay to date with it all. I am actually trying to sell mine right now.
It is the camera, Tripod, case, lenses, a couple tapes, two batteries and all the wires. If interested or know someone who is send me an e-mail. [email protected]

whatever u do make sure to check the cameras out first hand, and get one that is quite as possible, I use a panasonic DV Think it was 700. when i got it but don't like for one reason its noisy when going in and out of sleep mode. my old sony was better but video quality wasnt as good. so i sacrificed, unfortunately u can't go to cheap unless u buy used. the camera has to go thru some abuse. i don't think that kodak will' cut it.

I use Campbell cameras. They are a little expensive but they are really high quality. They also have a wide range of cameras designed to be used in the out doors. Check them out at www.campbellcameras.com
