I'm looking for a camera which I can use to record presenters while they are giving presentations on stage, while using camtasia. Will this work?

Hi Paul, Thanks for your interest. I would love to answer this question with 100% certain but I am afraid I can not. But I will say this is more of a question for Camtasia. I can not see why not, from what I know its video editing type software and even the worst ones are capable of working with just about any camera. I would highly doubt it would not work with this model. Just to let you know I only have 2 left at this price, we are running a little sale as you can see. Thank You and Good luck.

Yes. Once you connect to the camara through the Lorex software, you will have the option to record to the PC what is being shown.

I can't because I am not that savvy, but I have someone who is, and can use their software to create a seamless presentation.I am very happy with this camera.

not recommended to do constant recording... really not the camera for this. I love vuezone - have them everywhere but not good for that purpose

I tried to use it for a project. We tried a high end mic (sorry the manufactuer of the mic escapes me). It wasn't working and we chalked it up to defective mic. Later my colleague did some research and it turns out the camera wasn't putting out enough wattage for the mic.

Yes. This camcorder will work perfectly. If there will be too much movement, try using a tripod or monopod to prevent camera shakes.

Hi, I am looking to buy a mic to attach to the accessory shoe on the Camcorder. Can I use any mic or do I need to buy a Panasonic mic only? Please recommend a good brand if I can use any off-the-shelf mic. Thanks!

Yes. This is the camera only. You'll need some means of displaying what the camera sees.

Larry, I'm looking at this for recording our church services and possibly our worship service as well. We recently purchased a Q8-Zoom because of the audio recording capabilities and audio interface between our soundboard and computer. We need to record from about 40 feet away from the stage. Does this Panasonic do a good job in low light and focusing at this distance? So far, the Q8-Zoom doesn't seem to capture video much better than our old webcam at this distance. It definitely is more clear, but not the quality I was really hoping for.

I'm using it with a Vixia R500 which is basically the same camera. Works surprisingly well for an inexpensive microphone. You will probably want to turn off the automatic gain control.

I think it will work, but it is not user friendly.You need to go through set up, choose the right screnn resolution and learn how to set up recording.

Great response, Dave Diode...I have a question about this. Can it be attached only to DSLR cameras or also mirror less cameras? Thanks! (I'm searching for a dSLR quality camera but found out that none can be used at classical concerts because of the loud shutter noise).

I honestly do not know the answer to your question, but I do know that amazon has phenomenal return policy with their products in case this camera is not compatible with your system. If it is, you will be purchasing an excellent videocam with outstanding microphone. I use it a lot with the iFace app in my mini. Sorry that I could not give you a straight answer. Good luck.

Yes, I use mine to record my pastors sermon on Sunday and connect the sound board to the camera and it works great. This is a very good camera.

You are wasting your money... Your camera can do video to the best of its own ability with just the Sandisk Ultra SDHC cards. That's what I use.

I don't think you are going to get good recordings of loud concerts with any recorder using this Mic. You would need a more professional device.

Its not designed for that purpose. There are better cameras for live broadcast.
