Digital Cameras For Bow Hunting - Get Ready For Your Adventure

By Mike Thompson


Bow hunting is really only fun when you're able to share your experiences with other people. To do that you will need a camera. Although you don't need to be a professional photographer to get great shots, you do need a great camera, some skill in using the camera, and a plan what kind of pictures you're going to take.

Currently, digital cameras are the best option for capturing those bow hunting experiences. The 2 types of cameras for you to choose from are digital single lens reflex (DSLR) and the point and shoot cameras.

Although DSLR cameras can be inconvenient, it is still possible to take action photography shots, like a flying eagle, due to the fast shutter speed ability. Conversely, point and shoot digital cameras are much more convenient and easier to use, but it is limited by the relatively slower shutter speed which means good quality action shots are harder to produce. The best option would be to buy the most advanced point and shoot camera that also incorporated a fast shutter speed.

Beside from shutter speed, megapixel quantity is something you should also bear in mind. Generally speaking, the greater the number of megapixels, the better quality the photos will be. However, this quality of your photos will mainly depend on how well you can shoot pictures with your camera.

There are a wide variety of camera names in the market, and although you don't need to purchase popular brands like Canon t3i, you do need to see what other bow hunting enthusiasts are saying about these cameras.

Aside from getting a digital camera, you will also need a tripod. Being able to quickly move around is essential for bow hunting and getting a lightweight outdoor tripod of about 6 ounces should be something to consider. Not only is he tripod light, but the fact that it has lots of flexibility will allow you to place it on trees and in the water stream, which will give you great angles for your photos.

Since you'll be outdoors, don't forget to bring some protection for your camera in the form a hardcover camera case, and camera cleaning kit. If you think it will rain or that your camera will be exposed to moisture, bring some heavy-duty ziploc bags with you. There are, however, heavy duty cameras out there that are built for the rough and tumble of an outdoor bow hunting adventure.

Regardless of what you do, you should plan what you are going to do with your camera and how you to intend to take the pictures. You definitely don't want to spend all the time taking photos of the environment because you are trying to have fun bow hunting in the first place after all!
