Good ideas. Incidentally, I hadn't used a camcorder before last year,
and learnt a lot as I went, but simple cue cards for things would be
good. When I chatted to John on the phone we weren't clear whether the
cameras he's got can be used whilst plugged into a DC supply (or if
they could be plugged in directly at all). If that isn't  the case
then this plan goes out the window.

A NAS would probably be a bad idea --simply because you're throwing
another thing into the mix.

np. I'll probably get one to simply find out how long transferring
16Gb off one takes. (Gives a baseline to see how awkward this will be)

Much appreciated. My aim would be to have as long a load on the person
caretaking each camera, simply because then we'd hopefully get more of
the conference recorded :-)
