Dear all seniors and experts. I need your contributions to help me to decides what to buy for my company. My boss need me to select and buy a videocam that we can use to record seminar and training. The videocam will be on a tripod and will record the full training progress with anyone manning it. The budget is not set but try to stay within the 3 digits zone. I am not sure about video cam but if it is the same as SLR, wide view will be an added advantage as sometimes room might be small and a wideview will helps. I thanks you guys in advance for any contribution. Will try to decides fast so I can purchase it during this coming Sitex.

it really depends on duration and how sophisticated you need the setup to be. My opinion, any videocamera with hotshoe for lights and mic jack for external microphone is good.

And also if you just want to drag-and-drop and burn the video files to disc for PC playback, you can consider getting the consumer flash memory-based cams. Compared to those that run on DV tapes, the flash memory-based cams are very much more convenient. You can get the consumer AVCHD ones for just below $1K
And like what Reportage mentioned, audio input (direct from the sound system or wireless mic) is very important for recording seminars and training sessions. Audio is half of the deal. You may have to get audio cables, wireless mic, etc too.

i use a cheap dv cam (on tape) that is less than SGD 400. I chose one with an external mike input and i pair it with a zoom mike (SGD 120). The results is satisfactory. The difficulty is tranferring the DV tape to harddisk. U need a laptop/ computer with a firewire.
hope this helps.

You may try DVD Cloner, it can help you copy DVD to another blank DVD (also supports mini camcorder DVD to regular DVD or DVD-9 to DVD5), my friends recommend it to me, it's easy to use and works pretty well. I downloaded it from here.........

You will need videoconferencing cameras like these http://www.interceptinc.com/MobileSurveillance.html for automatic subject tracking.
