What is the best video camera for filming in the woods and late evenings?

Answer 1

There is no special camera for filming the woods and late evening. Use camera with manual controls: focus, iris, white balance, shutter speed and ISO. I would recommend Canon XL2 as I am using it for video production. You need appropriate lightings and filters too

Answer 2

the real question is how do you intend to provide lighting, as no camera takes pictures in the dark. will there be ac power available for studio type lights. battery operated lights run for just a short period unless LED type. infra red won't scare off wildlife, but are monochromatic, you won't get color.
