webcams for continous broadcast

Mar 4, 2006 10:49PM PST

I am totally lost here. I need a webcam to take online school courses that won't time out on me yet doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I can't afford a camcorder and I need good resolution with face tracking. I live on a fixed income and would truly appreciate any help what so ever on a new or used but working unit.

I haven't seen such for less than what a camcorder costs. It would be interesting to find something new.

RF I am looking at the Sony DCR TRV-280 but it records in High 8 whatever that is.

And not what you asked for.

Did you change your mind?

Looks like an ATI all in wonder pro and a camcorder. No one else ever chimed in. Best to you and yours
