sounds good, thanks for the response. Is there a certain amount of optical zoom I should be looking for? I saw 60 optical zoom in there, is that what I should be trying to get?

I am sort of new to recording my hunts, scounting, etc. My question is which type of camcorder is best ? The problem i have is when i want to video something 500 yds away it is never clear. I hear I should be concerned with the optical zoom and not the digital zoom. Does anyone out there have any advice for me? Also which camcorder is best for a person on a budget?

I have been bow hunting for about 4 years. In that time I have blown or been busted on countless stalks for whitetail. This year is the first year I wore sneaky feet and it really came in handy. My first whitetail kill on Jan. 19 grossed at 122 1/8 unofficial(pictures to come). So I totally believe in them cuz I couldn't believe how much quiter i was on that stalk.
