Title: Sony Handycam
Post by: David Bartholomew on December 19, 2010, 07:31:00 PM
Dave Mullins suggested this camera for general use: a Sony Handycam DCR-SR68, and I'm glad he did.


The attached video is the first time I've tried the camera... no adjustments, no fine tuning.  Sunset is around 4:50, and it's around 4:30 when the video was taken.   The deer pictured bed down in the back of the property.  The camera has a 60x optical zoom, and these deer are about 50 yards out (in the neighbor's yard).

In this video... the deer are 103 yards away.

Anywho... I like the camera, and do suggest it for general use / my type of use (a walk in the woods, the wife's school music programs and such, and hopefully... capturing a hunt or two).
