best video camera for recording lectures image

How would you recommend capturing the slides or writing on the board? I was wondering if a separate digital camera would be necessary so low quality video would capture the lecture, then a still camera would capture the slides. What do you think, and is there a single product or package that can do this job without a person needing to click the capture button?
Answer
Depending on the length of the lecture. So if we say 1 hour then we can work from that.
HDD camcorders are a good option, you can get plenty of video on the camera, I assume if its a lecture then you will not want to edit it.
Media card cameras as above but you need to check that you can get enough video on the card.
Mini-DVD not a good option, for good quality video you will need to change the disks.
Mini-DV on normal play you can get 60 minutes but it can be incresed to 90 if you use long play, quality is reduced a little.
You can of course use some cameras to capture directly to a laptop, then you are not limited by storage on the camcorders.
Videoing the lecture, use a tripod, keep the image steady, if possible put a mic by the speaker, as most lecture rooms are bad for audio, too many echo's If you can put the camera directly infront of the speaker, and as close as you can.
there are some tips
hope it all sorts out and you get your camera
Good luck

How do I use web cam to record?

I am technologically challenged. I want to record some lectures from school, can I do that with a webcam? If so which one would you recomend to use with thinkpad tablet?
Answer
Generally you can not use a webcam to record schoo lectures (unless it's attached to your laptop and you have a whole shmeer of software and a microphone to boot).
the best thing to do is to get a video camera or digital camera that will also record moving video. You are talking about capacities that also need to be of 30 minutes or greater, this speaks loudly to needing storage. there is a digital webcam, that records on SD cards, to the tune of 1 hour per SD card, for under $200.
Do some googling. Older cams are cheap as it stands. You are not looking for Holllywood but instead for functionality. The cameras of the past ten years beat the stuff pros used 35 years ago. It'll look fine.
Google again, as you need to learn about storing the videos / moving them to your PC (USB versus firewire) or simply playing them through your home TV/DVD/VCR (which is still the tried and true easy way to watch)
