Youdy81 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Hi All, I'm in the market for a new video camera which I want to be able to use for hunting. Something I can take fox whistling and also to film that monster buck before he swallows a lead pill Can anyone please tell me what your using, what you like about it, price etc. It needs to be able to zoom with a reasonable clarity, but not so I can count hairs at 500 metres..... I have no allegiance to a particular brand, but am budget conscious. Any reasonable considerations will be looked at. Cheers in advance Youdy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazza-hg Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 Mate I have a Sony handy cam model HDR-PJ10E It's not top of the line by any means but it's records in HD and I love it the cam also has a built in HD projector so you can watch your days recording when you get back to camp or show your mates. The zoom on the cam is 30x optical and 42x extended zoom.when I use it in low light the cam shows up better then you can see. I paid $800 16 months ago but I think you can pick one up for around $600 or less now at JB hi fi. I also picked up a bigger battery off eBay for it that lasts 16 hours recording time and that was $20. The cam has 16 GB internal memory and what ever size card you put in it. I hope this helps you out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youdy81 Posted December 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Thanks Wazza. I've ended up getting a Sony HDR PJ200 For $340. Once I get it and have a play I'll hopefully be able to post on the site. Cheers for the advice, really appreciated! Youdy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Gee Youdy mate, next time we go hunting I'll have to make sure I groom the dog and wash the ute before heading out just in case we end up on youtube Cheers, Waldo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
