I used a Canon S400 at 320x240 for 2 years. It was great and I didn't even know it had a 2 minute recording limit until I was recoding someone's talk one day and the camera stopped recording.
Then I figured out about the 2 minute limit. Newer cameras are only limited by the memory size as to the length of the recording. Make sure you check that prior to buying. I've been recently testing the Nokia N93 and N95 cell phones. They shoot 640x490 at 30 fps and have stereo mics on them. This new vlog I'm working on was shot on the N93: http://spicesoflife.com/2007/02/12/needling-nina-accupuncture-with-dr- zhu/ or http://tinyurl.com/34rch9 I think the audio is really good. An additional audio track was also recorded onto a PowerBook for this episode, for radio, but I decided to just use the on camera audio. --Steve On Mar 2, 2007, at 7:31 PM, Gena wrote: > Absolutely!
