Professional grade video... capable of being digitally edited and transferred to PC, what is your pick if you have the experience in this field? What options make that choice for you? Price? Customer service and repair? Warranty? Spill your knowlege.  |

Still camera that takes video, or camcorder--------- I'm guessing camcorder. I have 8 camcorders; the last three I've purchased have all been Canon, if that means something to you.  |

I guess I can't really answer "best" because that always seems to be purpose-oriented. Is size a factor? How about price? What do you want it to do?  Right now, you can get a new Canon GL-2 starting around $1750-- it is an amazing unit, and I can't think of anything that you can't do with it. That would be my easy pick, unless money was absolutely no concern whatsoever, or you needed something that you could pop into a jacket pocket. |

Great info guys and it's exactly what I was looking for! I can't count how many times the idea has been brought up as far as filming hunts are concerned and on a professional level one has to have some of the best equipment available. There's nothing like watching vids that capture the moment in clearity!

Even the so-called 'consumer' grade gear today is so, so far advanced compared to " back in the day." If you missed the years of analog gear and time-base correction . . . well, just be glad you did.  The difference between poor video and excellent video is rarely a matter of equipment-- it just takes a lot of time, effort, and editing. Not many folks in a hunting scenario want to be bothered with much of anything, and I don't blame them. After all, they are on vacation and the hunt's the thing. But, it takes a group effort to acquire video that is really worth editing. |
