A: Fifteen
This might be a fun place to discuss what cameras we want to use
What cameras do we want?
production cameras
web cams streaming to the web
time lapse cameras
confessions camera
What cameras do we plan to use as of now?
GL2s, for production
GL2s, for production
Sony TRV140 firewire with fish eye, for confessions
Unibrain Fire-i firewire*, streaming
Unibrain Fire-i firewire*, streaming or time lapse
Creative PD1170 usb*, streaming or time lapse
*camera needs to be connected to a computer for operation
i think it’s more important to think about what we want to do with cameras and where and then see if we can work with what we have. hell, even today’s still cameras have decent enough video recording and if we don’t care for the audio, even better. so many people have one of those we can borrow them and just buy some SD cards which are super cheap. also usb webcams are $10 so even old laptops can work with those and at least we can collect the data off the network.

One GL2 is from Arthur
One is maybe A or C
I have two still cameras, a Sony Alpha and a Sony DSC-V3, both still, but maybe we can use them as vid as Stel suggested or as a time-lapse with the right software, I’m sure. The V# shoots low-grade video and I am using it to docu meetings and the like now.
