    A $300 will get you a video but the quality wont be there. You can get and optical zoom as high as you want but if the lens isnt any good or the sensor that doesnt mean anything. Cameras are like optics, you get what you pay for.

    I had a 1800.00 camera and loved it but could not get any distance from it at all. Did you see my videos on the last page? I don't know any camera out there that is taking that good of video at that distance ESPECIALLY for 300.00. I sold my 1800.00 camera for the 300.00 one. I took photography in high school and have had some great cameras over the years. I have to say ANYTHING long range is hard to video/photograph but these cameras that are 300.00 to 500.00 are very impressive.

    Living where I do, I'm doomed to pay high shipping prices. Midway really pisses me off though. They package bullets in a USPS flat rate box, charge the flat rate shipping plus 10$ for the luxury of living in AK. I called them on it recently and they said the extra is because final delivery is by UPS which is BS because the USPS always drops it off.

     

    I'm about done with midway. I understand I need to pay shipping but they're flat out crooked about it with it costing the same to them to ship it 2 miles or 3000 miles.

     

    I have no qualms about buying large quantities to try. If none of my setups handle them well, the next barrel probably will. I can always sell them too. If Hilary gets elected, I can't enough bullets regardless of the type. When the TMKs were announced, I back ordered 500 each of the 155, 168 and 175. They all shoot lights out and they'll last me a little while. I hate having to buy 100, work up loads, realize that it's a sweet bullet only to not be able to find more to stock up on. I tend to buy large quantities of what I know I need when it becomes available and I tend to buy large quantities of new products as well so I'm not waiting forever to get more after the testing phase. I do the same with powder. Years ago, you would buy a pound to test, then go get either more one pounders or an eight pound keg. Now, all I buy is 8 pounders when they're available because lord knows how long it will be before you can find more. I haven't seen 8 pounds of H1000 for well over 3 years. There was a small supply of one pounders a year and a half ago. Fortunately I have friends in the retail business that set aside 5 pounds for me. I buy 8 pound jugs of powder of types that I'm not currently using if I even think I might be using it in the barrel or rifle in next few years. Bullets too. I've got about 3000 7mm bullets (500 each of various types) and the only 7mm barrel I own is a blank on my bench. But in the next year or so, I'll have it fitted. Regardless of the component availability situation, I'm good to go.

     

     

    Man I thought I was the only one that did this. LMAO.

    That is exactly what I do. Most of the time you can always sell these items fast if your gun don't like them.

    I did that bought 1 lb of H4350 liked it then went to buy more and took me months when I found it I had to adjust. Could have been a 1 shot deal if I would have bought it all. Now thats all I do.

    check out the

    When looking at long range video you want a high OPTICAL zoom lens. DO NOT LOOK AT DIGITAL ZOOM. Digital zoom will get really distorted fast.

    This camera has a 60x optical on 16mp, 120x optical on 1080hd, you can drop down the mp to 5mp and get out to 160x optical.

    The 16mp is great for posters ect, but you dont need that if everything will be on computer. On computer a 5mp is perfect. Check out some links.

    I had a 1800.00 profesional camera but it sucked for anything past 200 yards (12x optical lens).

    Watch some video in HD on you tube with the camera or the Sony 90x optical (i think dont know model). You will see some amazing stuff.
