I Have a JVC mini HD Camera with 40x zoom. it is light weight and works good. if you zoom alot, you need a stand or mini tri-pod to keep the image still. an extra battery is nice also. the image is real good. I love my camera.
Well I am not good camera but here is a site where you can choose the right camera for you all i know is that it should have a high IOS or if you have a budget DSLR camera is good too.
