webcam?

[Wolfgang]

Got a question for those who are posting their videos at Patrick´s or other blogs:
Do you use those small webcams (which brand?) whic are placed on top of the monitor or some other equipment?
Do you use a built-in microphone or some extra mic? If so, how do you synchronize movie and sound?

Till now I only post audio files. But I think I should upgrade
As a server for the audio files I use box.net. My latest can be heard at www.banjo-kiel.blogspot.com

Hi Wolfgang

Lots of digital cameras have the option to be used as high quality web cams when they're connected to a PC.

Hi there,
I use a Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000 which is a small clip on the monitor jobbie, and a little desk mic (unknown make) the results are ok for youtube and skype etc.
Lighting is important to avoid slow motion and unsynchronised recording, a bedside reading light with100 watt lamp or bright daylight sorts this out.
See you all in glorious technicolour soon!
James.

I use a Fuji e550 digital camera but have used other cheap digital cameras with a movie setting. Webcams are very poor quality for youtube.
