Comments about Canon VC-C50i 1/4-Inch CCD Communication Camera:
Using these cameras in groups of three, we have created video conferencing environments that cut meeting costs dramatically. With the superb picture quality of this Canon, and the excellent range of the zoom, our larger venues still work exceptionally well. Very good motor control of the PTZ makes even small adjustments at high zoom smooth. Excellent color rendition in low to high lighting conditions, and the IR works well in total darkness up to about 15 feet.
