Cameras for filming hunts

[WA hunter14]

I would really like to start filming some of my own hunts and some of my buddys hunts,  im sure at least a few guys here know whats what as far as cameras go. I'd really appreciate it if you guys could give me the hunting camera and basic gear 101. Im only an occasional bowhunter so I will mostly be filming rifle hunts for deer and elk, can i get a camera for a few hundred bucks that can see a deer or elk at 200-500 yards? Brands to go for and stay away from?
