Ever wonder how to decide which camera is the right one for your podcast setup? Fr. Robert and Bryan will show you how!
"Choosing your Podcast Camera
Step 1: Know your format and budget!"
Sub $100 -- USB Cameras (Mostly for live streaming.)
Sub $400 -- GoPro Cameras (High-Risk shots… should NOT be used as a primary)
Sub $1000 – CMOS-sensor handhelds
Sub $2000 – Multiple sensor, mid-range handhelds
Sub $3000 – Multiple sensor, mid-range Prosumer
$4000 and above – multiple sensor, high-end Prosumer and above
"Choosing your Podcast Camera
Step 2: Know your Sensors!"
Many cameras us CMOS sensors. They're MUCH better than they were in the old days, but they're still not as sensitive to light as CCDs.
Multiple Sensor cameras use multiple sensors to pick up red/blue/green
3CCD is still the gold standard
"Choosing your Podcast Camera
Step 3: Know your Audio!"
You want a camera has dedicated STANDARD audio inputs.
XLR preferred - 3.5mm acceptable.
Avoid proprietary solutions.

Step 4: Know your Media Format!"

HDMI with Ethernet

* It's a standard HDMI cable that supports 720p or 1080i.
* It also has a dedicated data channel (HDMI Ethernet Channel) that works ONLY if the device on either end of the cable support the HDMI Ethernet Channel
* However, it will work just fine as a Plain-Ole-HDMI Cable
