Jeff Thompson in an email to me:
Hey Paul,

I stumbled upon your website and I’m really looking forward to using it as a resource! I’m the media director at First Baptist Church in Jackson, TN and I am currently looking to purchase a new camera for the church. I’ve done a little bit of research and have seen a couple of different blogs recommend the Canon T4i or T5i. I like this idea because we would like to use this camera for photography and for video. However, I do have a few concerns… While I know technology changes all the time, I want to invest in something that fulfill both of these needs and that we can use for a long time. I’ve also seen others recommend the Canon 60D and Canon 7D. Another issue I’m not sure about is recording limit on these cameras. While filming sermons, lectures and interviews isn’t my main goal with the camera, I would prefer a camera that can fulfill all my needs. Do you have a suggestion? I really appreciate your input!

Thank you,
Jeff

+Paul Alan Clifford, I recall a posting a while back about using an iPod and iPhone mic w/ ear buds snipped off for recording sermon like a lapel mic (was that you?). If so, any suggestion on recording app on iPod?

Hey Paul,
Been wanting to ask this for a long time, keep forgetting it though.
