Cameras
- For on-the-field reporting, there are several low-cost cameras like the RCA Small Wonder ($80 to $130) and the Flip ($100 to $150).
- For video blogs or short messages from the pastor, you can use a web cam like the Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000. ($60 to $100)
- For streaming live sermons, you'll probably want a camera with a zoom lens. There are many to choose from, but one in the $250 range should be adequate. You may also want to purchase a tripod to mount the camera on to keep it steady for the length of the service.
