Video Camera for Recording Conference Presentations?




Lost


I need a good video camera for recording speakers at conferences - I need their slides to come out clearly and also need good audio pickup. I would like something small and compact. What is the best format (HD)?

Any camera recommendations? Thanks.



Answer
Sound wise, the key will be to get a camera that has microphone or audio inputs and metering that allows you to monitor audio levels. A camera that has these features will be over $1500. Hopefully your company or organization will be willing to spend that much (or more). The best way to get good sound in a conference is to get the audio straight from the sound system mixer output and feed that to the camera audio input. Even a great camera if it is using it's own microphone will sound pretty bad if the camera is a good distance from the person speaking. The key is to have the microphone close to the person speaking (as the sound system microphone would be).

Entry level cameras:

There is an inexpensive way around this though...what I do is take the video output from an inexpensive consumer grade camera and the audio output from the conference room sound system and feed both to an inexpensive DVD recorder (around $150). That way I record direct to DVD with great quality and not a big investment.
