Just picked up the Canon Vixia hfs200, a nice HD camera from canon.  Look on their website and you can buy a refurbished camera directly from them at a good price. So far I like the functionality and options of the camera - getting it's maiden voyage to the woods this weekend.

Thanks Austin, Let me know how it works for you. I want to film some hunting but also some video from my shop and such like that. I will be looking for a field report when you get one,
Nice fox in your profile, Trapped? I used to do some ADC work. Love trapping.

Yep, got him 2 years ago with a blind set along a woodline. My first and only fox to date but I have high hopes for this year.

I am seriously looks at the canon Vixia HF G10. It is rated really well and takes good low light video...something I feel is important when using in the woods and capturing hunting footage. I like to look at sites like  www.cnet.con (http://www.cnet.con)  to get their review of products and also look at pricing with a wide range of internet stores on their site.  I also Google whatever I am looking for to see what prices come up there.  I am careful  to buy from stores with good ratings.
If I buy this unit I will have a good low light Panasonic HD camcorder for sale.

I sent you a PM with an offer on my Panasonic. If you do not want it I am going to put it up on TradGang. If I sell it I will be getting the Canon Vixia HF G10. I have done a lot of reading on sites that review camera and camcorders and while expensive is very well rated and is excellent in low light.
