What have you found as the best video camera for videoing your hunts when alone and also videoing for other while they hunt? Don't want fancy and don't want cheap but a good user camera. Is this available in the $500 range? I may need to shell out more than that not sure. Sorry for all the questions I'm not a tech person.

I just picked up a Panasonic V-550 for $300 that is outright impressive!!! The 90X zoom with 5-axis stabilization is amazing!!! We film fishing shows and commercials with some really high end equipment, which I didn't want to lug around the woods, and found this little guy. I use it for my "A" shots and a GoPro for my "B" shots. Plus, its light enough to attach to a Solvid head strap system!

Originally posted by NMStickFlinger3 View PostHaven't had a chance to get out and film with it yet, just mess around with it around the house and what not. Youtube has a bunch of videos highlighting the zoom of the camera. Come September though, it will be in elk country filming 6 different hunts!!! That will be the real test!!

Originally posted by NMStickFlinger3 View PostI think the 750 is right at $600. Has a range of more advanced features when it comes to microphone, still image pictures and more advanced videography options, but the zoom isn't near as good as the 550. When it came down to just using the camera to produce amateur hunting videos, I couldn't spend the extra $300, when the overall quality of the video will be the same.
