Digital Camcorder

I am looking at purchasing a Digital camcorder. Mostly for recordering bowling. But id also like to be able to record hunting trips me and my brother go on.

This is one of them I am looking at.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16830145045

I see it says 32X Optical Zoom. Well the scope on my Swift is a 15X Scope. does that mean stuff will be 2X bigger in the cam? Im just tring to determain if this is enough zoom to be able cam small animals out at say 250yrds.

Also it says its 520 of Horizonal resolution. What does that mean. I used to seeing megapixel on cameras.

I dont see wear it says weather it has a tripod post or not. Id need to use a tripid for almost everthing i do so it would be a huge plus.

Well if you got any advise please post. Any help is great.

Thanks Eric,

JVC makes some nice stuff. That's one of the better cameras in that price range you can get.

Roughly, yes. Realistically with a lens that small your image quality will degrade a bit at full optical zoom.

If you want more zoom than that, and you want it to be a high quality image, get a "real" camera. But then I doubt you have $50,000

It means it's a standard definition NTSC camera. Your TV displays around 480 or so lines. Those extra lines will be clipped, which is why you'll see a safe zone marker box in the viewfinder.

It does, and might I say how nice it is to see someone planning to use a tripod? I have a pet peeve about shaking video

Unless you decide to spend significantly more (2-5 grand) you're not going to get a much better camera than the one you're looking at. Do yourself a favor regarding the tripod and get one with a quick release plate - that way you don't have to waste time screwing and unscrewing the camera from the sticks. You might also consider spending the cash for a tripod with a level adjustment on the head. Many tripods require you to play with the leg lengths to get the head level, which is a pain and takes forever to get right.
