If sound is really that important to them, they'll almost definitely need an external shotgun mic (like the Rode Videomic, which everyone seems to love and I will be buying very shortly).
As for recommending a camera, what is their budget?
Pretty specific question.
My girlfriend's father and brother are going on an African safari, and they need help researching a good cam to record their experiences with. So I am helping them out by asking you guys.
Any help would be fantastic.
Judging from the descriptions of what the father wants, I would say list of priorities in order of quality would be...
1) sound (must be able to pick up low sound and playback clearly)
2) picture (sharpness for seeing the detail of the hunting landscape and animals from a distance)
3) zoom (10x opitical or better)
Thanks for any help.
