Video Camera ?
« on: July 27, 2012, 04:10:32 PM »
Ordering a new video camera soon and was wondering if any of you guys digiscoping and filming hunts have any input on my decision. I am looking at the Canon Vixia HF S30 or the Vixia M50. We are planning to digiscope and film hunts with whatever we decide to buy.

Anyone have any expeirence with those models or any of the other similar models?

I'm not a video expert, but why not something like the 5d mkii?   you can swap out lenses etc.
They filmed 75% of Act of Valor with 5d ii's..   just a thought.
Old enough to know better.
Young enough to go for it.

nice..but for video the the video cams are better for the dollar..the mentioned setup would be pushing $4k or more  .. but then if u have $4k to burn u could buy one hell of a vid cam.

Already got a Canon dslr but lookin to do alot more video stuff and want a video cam to do some digiscoping with.  Plan to try and get a 1D MKIII in the next year or so but still want a seperate camera to pack soley for video.

Spend your money on a Swaro spotter and use a iPhone, that way you can use the spotter when not digiscoping.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!
