Hi everyone I am new to the forum. I have been interested in filming outdoors mainly animals. I am obviously an amateur and I am wondering what the best camera for someone on a small budget might be. I have been researching various cameras and the Panasonic 3CCD cameras get great reviews. However I am concerned that in low light conditions the small size of the CCD's might under perform. So if thats the case does that meen I should for a single CCD camera with less video quality and a larger CCD. I am looking to spend in the neighborhood of $500 on a camera. I know this seriously limits what I can get but any advice would be helpful.
