Camcorder--Canon HF200
The Canon HF200 ($600) is versatile and with Adobe Premiere Elements v.7 ($60 with educational discount) editing software will let you produce video for the web and DVD with no additional software. It records to 32GB flash memory cards. Much more re-usable than tape, cutting down on supplies in the future.
We get our software through UCD’s discounter: http://www.ships.shi.com/go/ucdavis

What is Adobe Connect Used For?
Adobe Connect was originally developed by Macromedia and called Breeze. Desktop videoconferencing is its thing. You can be at your desk and using a computer with an Internet connection and a browser like Safari, Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc., share documents, images, and audio. If webcams are used at both ends, it's like a video phone but with space for sharing items on your desktop.
For ANR faculty and staff, you have unlimited access to use Adobe Connect without charge.
Connect is primarily developed to allow one person to give a PowerPoint presentation to one or more folks at the other end. Connect will let you upload your PPT file and will convert it to Flash. Everything in Connect is Flash-based. Flash is the video format most conducive to the Internet. It is installed on 98% of all personal computers, so compatibility is in its favor, too.
You can overlay a whiteboard to draw on photos, or charts, or illustrations, or any other document you share and print the results.
For interaction with your audience, there is a Chat pod, and you can poll them with the Poll pod.
There is no software to install and your audience doesn't need any training to participate in a meeting you host.
To host a meeting, you need to be added to the server and training would be a good thing, too. Contact me at 530-754-3905 or mlpoe@ucdavis.edu for both.

SD High Capacity Storage Media
Compact Flash is the media of choice for digital SLRs. However, if you are shopping for a late model compact digital camera, you'll find that the SD card is more common because the card takes up less space on the smaller form factor camera body.
Certainly you know how the capacities keep increasing on all media cards in your digital camera and mobile phones, but did you know a huge leap has been made in the smaller ones out there?
The SD card has become High Capacity (SDHC). Cards 4-32 GB are considered high-capacity. That's the good news. The bad news is you can't use them in your SD devices unless your devices are SDHC. The good news is if you have a new device that uses SDHC cards, your old SD card will work in it.
