Go pro VS. standard video camera

[Skinny]

Any suggestions on a good low light camera?

Well you are gunna get what you pay for...and the higher end cameras have more manual adjustments so you can fine tune the camera for all light settings...although I run my camera on auto for the most part, I will switch to manual during low light conditions to get the best footage possible.

I really like the Sony HDR XR 500v. It's a great camera and the night shot comes in handy at times.

The camera I use now is the Cannon HF G10. It's a high end consumer camera that blows others away.

Do the handycams have remotes so you can turn them on and get it recording without messing with camera?

No the Sony I use doesn't have remote capabilities. That's why I was interested in the go pro.

regular video camera and a crooked stick camera mount in the blind and you are good to go

Gopro has no zoom I duck hunt with one and will have one on my bow this year but. I also have a little sonny cyber shot that has a 4x zoom and it works great it shoots video and is waterproof.

What are you looking to do with the camera? I have a sony video camera and a gopro and use them both.

I've got a cybershot but it won't zoom on video mode and it's only 720. Guess I need to upgrade.

Lots of low model camera's have remotes. Got to best buy they have plenty so hard to recommend for me I want a. hard drive vs sd card b. 1080 (which most are) and then I like to imagine having to mess with controls while I'm nervous because a deers in front of me.

Which controls are easiest to use

Check out the Nikon Coolpix AW100. It is waterproof, shockproof and freezeproof. Has a 5x Zoom-NIKKOR ED glass lens and a 16.0-MP CMOS sensor to record low-light and fast-action photos and Full HD (1080p) movies. It also has GPS + Electronic compass and a 3 inch screen. And you can get it in Camo. All for under $300.

I just use our family video camera. Set up on a tripod and it is plenty good enough for me and my son. Frankly, he uses it more than I do. Can't get it out of his hands so I can take it.

This. No zoom. But the reverse is impressive on the gopro. Get yourself a Sony. Great cameras with zoom and get the one with low lux. I can get good video pretty late in the day. The gopro I didn't use much but it's a great little camera with good video quality. It's application specific.

Does it record front and back? I tried looking it up on gopro.com but couldnt find anything. I wouldn't mind mounting one to my bow if it records front and back. That'd be pretty sweet but seems unlikely to me that it'd do that.
