Dave, great question! Everyday more and more sportsmen are getting into video tapping thier hunts. To get true TV quality you need at least a 3 chip camera. The price of these cameras have come way down in both size and price. Their are three models I'd recomend, the Canon GL2, the Sony 2100 and the Canon XHA1. The Canon GL2 is known for it's audio and video quality and the Sony 2100 is known for it's ability to film in low light conditions. Both cameras are an excelant choice and sell for about $1000. to $1500. For a cut above the Canon XHA1 has it all, along with HD, image stablization and a multitude of other features. This camera goes for $1800. to $3500., but well worth the additional investment.
