Question

Camcorder 4 outdoor sports

Aug 2, 2014 1:23AM PDT

Looking for recommendations for a novice shooter looking to go to the next level filming high school and college soccer for coaches. Venues range from stadiums where I maybe in the stands "elevated" or on the field. Would like to cover action from one spot and one lense, field dimensions are 60x120 yards I am looking at the used market with a budget in the $300-500 range. Also any sources where I can search besides ebay an craigslist appreciated.

Thank you in advance

You'll not find anything spectacular at that price range. That is, nothing close to what you see on TV today so with that out of the way, why not look around at what others are using?

If I were to guess you want the 5 figure lens and camera for that much?
