I looked into for filming deer hunts with my son. Figured if I couldn't carry the rifle I'd film him. The cost to get into right was to high for me. Thought about going in half on some equipment with a friend that hunts with his son, but we never did. I know from other pursuits that if I buy low end equipment, I'll end up spending more money later on higher quality stuff. Now I try to buy only highly recommend gear. There is a wealth of information on line about filming hunts, but I would recommend going to a pro and talking it over with him. Even somebody that films weddings would be able to give you more helpful information then the guy trying to sell you the camera. I think if you would email just about anybody on TV they would take the time to put you in touch with there camera man. Most photographers I know will talk your ear off about their equipment.
