Research

Step 1: Determine budget

Decide how much you are willing to spend. The easiest way to narrow your options is by picking a price range and sticking to it.

Step 2: Choose a recording format

Tip: Look for stores that offer discounts or coupons on accessories.

Step 6: Buy the camcorder

Buy the camcorder and accessories, such as an extra battery, a camera bag, and a tripod.

For extreme digital zoom; consider a spotting scope. It works see:

Get one with a remote. It eliminates the jigglies at the beginning and end of each video clip when the start / stop button is depressed. It is also required when pairing up with a spotting scope. Once it is set up; you don't want to touch it.

Record with the screen door closed. That's a good feature when out in the cold cold.
