Hi All,

I'm looking for advice to help select a decent digital video camera for
filming aircraft at airshows and museums. Some of the desirable features
include:

1) lots of storage - preferably a micro harddrive

Tape is cheap(er)

2) excellect optical zoom - lot's of power for those distant shots

3) image stabilization -- absolutely must have!

(See Link Above)

4) decent battery life would be nice but this is secondary to other
factors

No Batteries Required!

Any recommendations would be really appreciated!

Good Luck!

LOL! The OP did not specify a price range so I guess this is a valid
answer!
I think you would still need a battery however, something like a 24V
lead-acid battery to get your 150kW diesel generator started

Ok, so I guess I owe the OP an apology. I really wasn't meaning to be a
smart ass but I have to chuckle when people come on looking for consumer
gear that will give them pro results. I especially liked his line regarding
optical zoom: "lots of power for those distant shots..." So, that's why I
pointed him to the 100x with stabilizer. The guys I work with on the NASCAR
tour love 'em!!
