I've been using a Sony camcorder for a while and very happy with it. No fisheye effect and very clear picture in good light. Make sure you get a model with an external battery so that you can get a larger battery to last for a few games.
No its not really. The software lets me cut and save to my iPad or phone, then when I save and view it, I can zoom in. It saves to my devices photo gallery.
I've only had it 3-4 weeks and used at 3 tourneys. Still trying to work it all out. I'll try to show some picture examples what I can zoom into.
These are from the same fields, in narrow and medium settings
