[QUOTE="Gohde, post: 1068320, member: 24319"] I would recommend more information on price range. And maybe what the intentions for teaching are. If you want a dedicated camera, I would recommend going to ORMS Direct or Outdoorphoto (I have had amazing experiences with both - they?ll likely let you play around with a camera too). For the Canon M50 kit, they?re cheaper than Incredible (R1000 less). Outdoorphoto also had an offer on a Nikon vlogging kit that was R5000 off (but still cost R15k). Both also have some used gear and Outdoorphoto has a pretty good classifieds for photography equipment. If it is mostly desk recording, then a webcam could well work, but if your teaching involves filming outside or moving camera positions to capture something on a desk, then a dedicated camera is a lot easier. And a webcam is generally less versatile (and worse image quality). As for macro, any reasonable DSLR body and macro lens will do. There is less need for specific camera bodies. Vlogging only really works in a camera with a screen the fully folds out (unless you go all out and buy an external screen on a rig). I think there are usually a few macro lenses used on the above sites. If you want to go crazy, you can look in reverse mounting lenses (I?ve done that one and it is fidgety, needs duct tape, and I would only do it with old lenses that you won?t cry about). Last macro road is using macro extension tubes on normal lenses if you already have a camera. [/QUOTE]
