Well, I cannot wait forever for the mythical new iSight, so I started looking for a camcorder, but if I'm going for that, it better be good not only as a webcam.
I'm having trouble fiinding something with the following requirements:
- firewire DV webcam function
- LED torch
- hot shoe
- mic input
- optical stabilizer
- minimum 20x optical zoom
- better if 16:9 mode is good anamorphic, but can live without it
It seems one can get everything except the 20x
If such a thing does not exist, which is the cheapest camcorder with:
- firewire DV webcam function
- LED torch
- any kind of stabilizer
Of course, at such a late stage I would prefer to spend the money on an HDV
cam if it had a plain DV webcam mode (does this exist?), but if there's quite a bit of price difference maybe it's better to just go for SD now and wait for better and cheaper HD models.
Thanks
