I will be doing fly tying demos and classes this winter and want some input and your thoughts about the set up I use. Last year, I bought a 26″ HDTV to use for the classes. I don’t own a camcorder, but borrowed a friends and it worked good. I can’t keep borrowing it so I need to buy my own. It was a standard def. camera and the picture was good but I know that a HD camera would probably be better but the price is also higher. Can anyone recommend a good HD camera? Are the little pocket ones OK for what I am doing? Do I need an $800.00 camera to get sharp images on the screen? Any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated.

I have a Sony Handycam and it has a great picture and it was not 800$
good luck with the demos, and can we see one when you get it finished?

Thanks guys for the tips. I am working on lineing up tying demos this winter at a local shop. Wish you guys could see the tiers I have lined up! Rick Takahashi, Landon Mayer, Walt Mueller (“The Otter” as in Otter Eggs) and hopefully Ed Engle and Charlie Craven just to name a few. Maybe I can post some clips here so you can see.
