camcorder for nature study ? (1 Viewer)

hello everyone, I am going round in circles trying to decide on a camcorder, for

birdwatching and recording nature in general , my needs are , must be

lightweight , have a sensitive microphone to record birdsong , have optical

image stabilisation , be simple to use , and perhaps have wind noise reduction ,

together with hd picture quality , price range around £ 350 .And just to

top it off,would it be feasible to connect it to a pentax scope? I will be very

grateful for any help . thankyou , BILL .

Hi Bill,

A warm welcome to BirdForum from all the Moderators and Admin. Glad to have you on board :t:

I have moved your post to a more appropriate forum.

Hi Bill,

Welcome to BirdForum. You will find much to interest you on here, it is a fantastic site.

Take a look at the link below. I had the same dilemma when choosing a camcorder and am delighted with my choice, except for the fact that it is useless for videoscoping due to the length of the zoom lens.
