I just purchased the Sony 30gig hard drive last week. I think its around $360 at Walmart. 40x zoom and night shot. Its pretty small and has a touch screen. I really like the sony products. I'll be filming my hunt next weekend.Comment

i bought a sony handicam hybird just for recording hunts...its a great video cam, but the normal pics suck. all fuzzy. but it zooms in ALOT. 2000X zoom. battery life is good. and the mini dvds are cool. i paid 450 for it i think.Comment

Brian---go online to www.videomaker.com
check out the articles on camcorder comparisons which are listed by mfgr., model, cost.
In my professional opinion I'll list what to stay AWAY from: minidisc, digital zoom, hard drive as a last resort.
Stay with: mini dv tape, memory sticks, manual controls if possible.
Hunting at LBJ is different without you! Stay warm!Comment
