Any Camera suggestions for self videoing your hunts?

SONY HDR CX 550 camera

I love my camera. I do a lot of ELK footage at 11,000 feet. High Def true stereo, wide angle, 12 mega pixel still camera, plus great WALK ZOOM stabilazation feature--so steady!! Very compact but not a toy...its over a thousand dollars now but so worth it. I also bought a 3 year warranty at Wolf Camera. Here is a short clip that you can view on YOUTUBE...just know that YOUTUBE does not allow full 1080 HD but its still pretty decent. When you plug your footage into a high def big screen its amazing!!!

take care

Def. get the camera arm from GJ "Skipshot" when you find the right camera..... send him a PM. It makes videoing your hunts EASY and its supporting a TBH member.

I have a little hard drive sony handycam With us 30 * optical zoom and love it. It's nothing fancy but I got it real cheap at a pawn shop and it does its job.

Can't go wrong with Sony Richard.

Just remember,when you go with the smaller cams,you are not going to have the low light capability of a larger cam.

Just something to keep in mind for those shots right before dark.

I have a Canon HFS21 same price range same features.

here's a couple of things . . . . if at all possible the camera he shows has a manual focus (absolutely the best thing since sliced bread) how many times has someone lost focus because of shoot through screen or a leaf? this stops the need to focus in and out to get your picture back.

Built in hard drive a must these days and 1080p is just about standard.

here's some of my video
