[QUOTE="aroshtr, post: 805826, member: 9176"] I have been using a new camera this year, and I was in the same budget as you. I tried to ballance image quality with an acceptable zoom. The best balance I found was the Sony XR260V. It seems as soon as you jump up in lens quality and manual features you end up stuck with a 20x optical zoom. Which for filming critters being dumped at long range just doesn't work all that well. If you are interested, I cam pm you some links to the videos I have used this camera on. The XR260 has a on board hard drive, which is nice, but when really cold it does not want to work. It also has a SD slot. If the hard drive option is not what you want they make a sister model that only uses SD cards. Hope this helps Joel Edit: I just noticed that my XR260V has been discontinued. The current model with similar features would be the Sony HDR-CX430V. [/QUOTE]
