Many platforms will work with USB cameras or point 'n shoot snapshot cameras and do a good job if lighting is plentiful. The money spent on such as setup might be better allocated for a screen background and ambient lighting enhancement before a fancy camera.

I know of a Fortune 100 company that uses a hello kitty USB webcam at their HQ for this. It does a good job!

I never got a straight answer on how it came to be, but I suspect some staffer found it on woot.

Thank you.

We have used a Videology # 24C7.38USB with a 3.3-8mm lens. My technician likes it because of it's flexible software compatibility. but its around $330 cost with lens and if we furnish the flash, its more than double the price. I think is out of hand.

I'm always looking for a better way do things.
