Hey Can, I have the same problem and was chatting to Fran about it, this is his advice about Cameras:-
"The 8 MP are probably interpolated, so forget about that. As I said 2 real MP is probably more than you'll need, and even 640x480 (which is like half a MP) is already a pretty good size for REC purposes. Quality of image is what you need  The thing is that webcams that provide a decent image quality will most certainly feature 1 or 2 real MP resolution "This CAMERA is the one that Fran and some of the other Instructors use/recommend!!!

Wow Jones, I can see you did read my advice on cameras  Yeah, logitech quickcam pro 9000 is used by many members, and does the job nicely (for a webcam). I'm sure there are many other models that work great out there, but that's the one I use. -------------------- Guitars:

Not a new idea. Logitech quick cam 9000 for me as well. Works great.

Logitech quick cam 9000 is a good deal, but if you want a instructor lesson video quality, it is best to use mini DV camcoder. They are cheap now, and any will do the job. They have better lenses than webcams, which is very important, cause the bigger and more quality the lens is - the better it will absorb the light and direct it to the CCD chip, thus giving a more realistic image. Good lightning is also very important, at least 2x500W lights will give you optimal results, but three lights are minimum in a good lightning setup. My suggestion would be:
2x300W in front of you, left and right 1x150W light in the back for creating a good edge on you. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I can recommend SONY DCR-HC51 MiniDV Camcorder.Its as simple as it gets and very good quality and reliable.You transfer the footage via firewire either directly when shooting or after from the miniDV tape.Its really a best buy (cheap) cam here when I think about it....I definitely recommend a miniDV cam for far superior results in relation to any webcam.MiniDV is old but proven and still in use (on TV etc) standard so you can find these cams fairly cheap.
