    I am asking this becasue most of you guys shoot and you may have had to place lipstick or gopros.

    I have to do a lot of video/web instant stuff and I don’t want to use my HVX200 all the time. I just dont’ want to be setting the thing up and taking down for a one minute off the hip shoot.

    I have been looking at HD webcams and want to know if you have a good recommendation. I heard the Microsoft LifeCam HD-5000 Web camera, works with MAC, but I think it was on a site that was trying to sell it.

    Anyway, I will take something that is USB or FW, but I would like to run a lapel mic into a sound card for better audio. Since this is going on the web, I want the 720 x1280 so I have good video to start. I know the web will crush it.

    Any other recommendations for a web cam that will let me run a lapel mic. I don’t like the on my Mac Boo Pro because it is in 680 and gets stretched in a 480×720 output.

    MBP 2.4GHz 4MB RAM, 30″cine, MAC PRO 2.6 8 core 6GB RAM, Mbox, Neumann TLM-103, FCP HD 7. Pro Tools 8, Adobe Creative Suite, Reason 3.0, Macromedia Studio, ProAnimator, HVX200 with Firestore v4.0
