I purchased a Canon ZR850 camcorder for the faculty. It has all the features you
asked about, and the video is decent (but not high quality). So far, the faculty
have been happy with it.

We have not bought them, but we have strong recommendations from Yale's DMCA
(http://www.yale.edu/dmca/) for the Panasonic HDC-SD100K. Records in HD,
SD/SDHC recording (only), microphone and headphone jacks, AC adapter.
Depending on what you mean by #1, it may not match up there. And it may not
match up with your budget either. That said, it's a pretty impressive camera
for a lower cost than it should be (since for some reason, B&H is selling it
for $540 [http://tinyurl.com/anvazo] while others like J&R have it at $850
[http://www.jr.com/panasonic/pe/PAN_HDCSD100K/]).
Best,
Trip

You need to look at the slightly bigger from factor from Samsung,
Sony, JVC, Canon and others.
HD units doing everything you list including automatic Flash Video
start at $349. I am buying a bunch of Samsung ones.

this may not be up to all the criteria mentioned above either, but I have been
using a VADO HD pocket camcorder about the size of a cigarette pack, and I am
absolute amazed about the quality of the video and sound and the ease of
operation. Unfortunately, only wide-angle recordings are really good - the tele
setting appears to be a digital and is not very useful.

Subject: #9131 camcorder question
Hello All,
We are looking to buy a couple of cameras, but can't seem to find what we
need. We are looking for a camera that can be used by faculty to record
class presentations (lasting up to 2 hours) without requiring us to process
the video into some web -compatible format. Our big requirements are:
1. Straight to Web recording format
2. Ability to power from an external outlet
3. Removable SD card for extended recording
4. Microphone input
There are a lot of straight to web cameras that we like (Flip Mino, RCA
Small Wonder, Creative Vado HD, Kodak Zi6), but none allow you to run from
an external outlet ... and we really don't want to have batteries running
out in the middle of a class, or to have faculty waiting while the camera
recharges. The Sony Webbie, despite its horrible name, has everything but
the microphone input ... which we need for the wireless mic that students
use while giving presentations.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Jon
