I use HP projectors at work for presentations, i would get it out of the car for the model number but its bloody freezing!  I find them quick and easy to set up and very easy to use, can't say i have run much video through one though.

It has a type of DVI I think....it may need a trip to the apple shop to get an
adaptor no matter what projector I might use.

I doubt you'd be able to do video through USB using the laptop. You will need to make sure your laptop has either composite, component, VGA or DVI out. More than likely it will have a VGA out for using with secondary monitors...

I've got the Sany VPC CA9. It's absolutely brilliant and well worth the money
I thought. Bought it from cliftoncameras.co.uk

I share your interest Doug, and I'd also be interested to know which camcorder you bought.  I have access to a professional quality video recorder, but its a proper tripod mounted jobby so only good for use on shore.
the same, but different...

Hi guys
Having done a bit of coaching recently and invested in a waterproof
camcorder, so far so good as it's been small groups and so crowding
around a laptop screen has been fine.
However I'm potentially going to be doing more coaching over the winter
with larger groups at various clubs and think a projector would be a good
idea.
Some clubs have the luxury of equipment like this ready to use but as I
can see a lot of use, I consider it a worthwhile investment and peace of
mine that I'll always have the equipment that I want at hand.
So, as I have no clue what I'm looking for, can anyone here help me??
I realize these things aren't cheap but obviously I am working to a
budget. Preferably I'd like to be able to hook it up to my laptop via USB.
So, who's in the know about these things???

Doug H
