In this week's The Gadget Show, presenter Jon Bentley ran an informative piece on video blogging or vlogging where he test drove three webcams for their suitability for creating a video diary or vlog from your PC or Mac. These included the Microsoft LifeCam Show, Philips Webcam SPC1330NC Pro and Logitech QuickCam Sphere and John was certainly adept at putting them through their paces. Interestingly, the Philips webcam came up trumps with a 4G rating although he did admit that HD quality let the impressive device down.
John also had a look at the features of different video-sharing sites for capturing or uploading your clips once recorded. Unsurprisingly, his favourite was YouTube for its capability of attracting a large audience although he did also recommend DailyMotion for hosting longer vlogs and Blip.tv for its audio only feature (a good tip for podcasters out there) and download option.
You can watch Jon's review here and find out more about his tops tips on the best kit to get started with vlogging. Enjoy!
