A good camera?

Post by a_bow_nut » Sat May 05, 2007 4:07 pm

Now that I've got a hunt of a lifetime coming up I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions on a good camcorder to get? Right now I have a Sony Handycam (forget the model#) that has the memory chip in it. It's been a good camera was just looking for something with a little better picture quality.

What are the things that I should be looking for in a good camcorder?
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks a_bow_nut

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell
the difference.

dont know much about video cameras but a while back a guy was on , dont remember who, but he offered to go with someone on these great hunts and video the hunt for them. maybe you could find it and give him a call, bet he has good equipment.

ARe you talkin about the still picture quality on it or just the video quality?

The only problem w/ a video camera is you will not get a very good Megapixel still camera.

I have a canon Gl-2 that I spent around $2500.00 for and I think it is only like a 1.3 meg still camera, although the video quality is unreal, just like watching a movie.

For a really good pic you will need to stick with a regular camera( i think)

This pic is a awful still pic taken with it on our Bou hunt last fall.

Good luck on your Hunt :thumb
