I don't think you will find a web cam that will give you a decent wide
angle shot in the lighting you are likely to have. They really are
designed for more intimate purposes - web chats, etc., not live event
feeds.

OK to all you gadget gurus out there.
My daughter is getting married this fall.
My in-laws (Most of my wife's family actually) live in the northern
reaches of Ontario and are showing a reluctance to traveling this
far south. They wondered if I their techhy son-in-law could set up
a laptop with a web cam and broadcast the wedding via the Internet
so they could watch it live instead of being there. (My preference
is them be there)
I remember someone like Linksysy at one time had these and marketed
them, but I do not know if they are still out there and I have no
idea how well these work.
To me it seems like a whole lot of work just to please some people
who do not like to travel. (long history here)
Anyone have any ideas?
How much am I looking at to get this setup and make it work?
The church has high speed Internet so that will not be a problem.
