Hi!
We are planning to use agisoft, and buy a good camera. Could anybody recommend us some camera type with we can make good quality pictures from live video? We are planning to put camera into a boat. Does anybody has any experience with that?

Thanks in advance!

why not stills? if you want to make use of video frames you'll face problems caused by rolling shutters, relatively low resolution and image compression artifacts. You can also find some decent cameras that can take stills (full) during video in case the latter is a must. why not two cameras one taking photos and the second for motion
what will be your subject? the coast? the sea bed?

Thanks for answering, we will test it this week, our target is mostly the coast.
