willhunt4coues Report post Posted December 17, 2015 check out the http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMC-FZ70-Digital-Optical-Stabilized/dp/B00DY2Y28M 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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trphyhntr Report post Posted December 17, 2015 do you like those ones better than a handheld or shoulder style camera? any advantage to those Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willhunt4coues Report post Posted December 17, 2015 Oh heck ya. These are small and trust me when I say the others are WAY too heavy to pack in with all your gear. I can toss this into my bag and pull it out when I need it. The optical stabilizer are awesome also. I will try and find a video of us shooting at 1100 yards you will see.

willhunt4coues Report post Posted December 17, 2015 I believe you have to friend me on Facebook. I will try and upload to Youtube Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willhunt4coues Report post Posted December 17, 2015 I copied this video over from facebook so now its not in HD. I can not compress this file which is MP4 to hd without having the original file. I will see if I can find the original. It has 5 times more detail. Nevermind it says in the lower right corner to choose HD 720. Still don't look like my original. I am doing another video at 500 yards shooting. I am uploading now. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
