Hey guys,

I need a new web-cam with which to create video products. Which will involve me talking at the camera plus some close up demonstrations

Do you have any recommendations?

What is the minimum megapixels and other specs I need for good quality videos that are product worthy.

    I honestly don't know how far webcams have come since I last used one a couple years ago, but here's what I use.

    For talking head videos, HD Flip cam. I've heard a lot of people like this Kodak camera, so someone will probably come along and say that.

    For screen capture videos, Camtasia.

      The problem is that I do quite a lot of travelling and don't want to bring an expensive HD camera with me.

      I've used both the Kodak Zi8 and the Kodak Playsport. I like the Zi8 better because it has a mic input port and has macro mode for closeup shots. The Playsport is a little cheaper and goes underwater (if you have a need for that).

        The problem with the Flip, and cameras like that is that you can't see the LCD screen while you're recording. So, you really don't know if you are centered in the frame or not.

        I would suggest something like the Canon G12. It has a flip-out LCD screen so you can see yourself while you shoot. It shoots great pictures and gorgeous 720P hi-def video. Do a search on Youtube for the Canon G12 and you'll see some beautiful footage shot with it.
