I'm honestly shocked to hear folks NOT suggest the rangefinder and then to hear that they are "over rated",.... now there's a 15 yard shooter!
I consider a rangefinder one of THE most important pieces of hunting equipment that I own! Who cares much about the camcorder.

Plus, I have both...........and I use the rangefinder way more then the camcorder........I get plenty of memories from the digital camera.

I agree with IL Cornfed. Unless that camcorder comes with a cameraman, I'd go with the rangefinder. Recording hunts is cool, but it comes out better if someone else is filming anyway. Besides, how embarrassing would it be to be up in your tree trying to figure out how to erase the miss you just had because you misjudged the distance.

A simple digital can keep the memories. A good rangefinder will give you something to take a picture of.

I would buy the one that I thought would help me be a better hunter. Make a list of the ways each will make you a better hunter and then buy the one with the most items in the list.
