I am about to start doing ALOT of live streaming here very shortly. I was wondering if anyone has any advice to what cameras would be the best to use? I am going to probably use Ustream producer pro and have multiple camera angles so I will need to buy two of them. Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks!

I am using a Sony VX2100, you can find them right now around 1000-1500 and they are a great camera, the PD170 is nearly the same camera but would be a better choice IMO because of the built in XLR ports which the VX2100 does not have and you have to buy separately. I am sure others will tell you about some other choices, you might be able to pick up if your on a budget the Panasonic GS320 or GS500 and these cameras are pretty good too. :wink:
 
wow

Thanks Zilla, it's got alot to do with alot to do . Good cameras help.Good video inputs,cards ,and low loss on your feeds is very important as well. My
cameras were not as expensive as you may think . Funny story , I had a $5000 . Canon HD camera that when I used it people complained it was not as clear and bright as my little HD Sony's that were less than $1000 per cam.
I'm sure as time goes by that we will see alot of jumps in quality .This forum has given me alot of pool knowledge and friends if I can pass on some of what I know about video I am glad to help.
 
I am interested in this topic as well. Are there WEB dedicated cameras that everyone is using? Or is it possible to use a digital video camera as a web cam too? The latter would be great since I already have one. And is HD really even noticeable when streaming? Most streams look pretty low res.
 
Also, how about which program is best to use for pool matches where we can put scores up as a title, and also have some logos from advertisers pop up or fly through periodically? I have been looking at Producer Pro through Ustream and Watershed. Anyone out there used these programs?
