I may just stick with 720p to save on the complications / cost... I'm looking at 720 vs 1080 comparison videos online and most people can't seem to tell the difference (I know I can't). |

Fullscreen over hdmi you can tell 720 vs 1080 But 720p is fine Ive used both the 720p and 1080p versions With the blue720p cam i got you can record 720p video over USB. I cant recall what the frame rate was though. Usually with usb video capture the high resolutions have slower fps. If you want to solder while watching a monitor then youd def want to use HDMI though, and im sure HDMI recordings using a hdmi capture card will look better than usb recordings. |
