Choosing a Camcorder for Live Event Production
his webinar, presented by the Streaming Learning Center's Jan Ozer, is for live event and webinar producers who are concerned about video quality or are considering buying a new camcorder.
The webinar starts by comparing the quality of three webcams (embedded, low end, high end) and a consumer and professional camcorder at talking-head webinar distances (3-4 feet) to illustrate the quality differences. Then it moves back to eight feet and runs the same comparison. You'll see for yourself whether a high-end camcorder delivers noticably better quality than a webcam at both distances.
Next, for those who need to purchase a camcorder, the webinar covers which features to consider when purchasing a camcorder for live event production, and concludes by recommending several camcorders ranging in price from $2,400 to $10,000.
