Hi videotechs,
I purchased a new video camera specifically for filming R/C flying. Bummer that it just does not do a good job at focusing and after exploring the capabilities it is simply not going to do the trick.

Can anyone here advise on a good video camera, prefereably Mini DV, that will hold the subject aircraft in focus, deal well with the continuously changing lighting conditions and it also easy enough to use that I do not need to change to a videotography hobby in order to learn to use it properly. I guess that I would want to limit my spending to $1500.00, although if it were one of the pro-quality cameras I would go a little higher and search for a good used one. If a camera exists that can do a great job for this subject that is much cheaper, that is also fine. I do not have to have the best available, just one that will do the job properly.

Thank You,
Mark
