All these people talking about "a DSLR is too difficult to setup and you're going to waste time at the beginning of the meeting getting everything going."
I've been using my DSLR as a webcam for the last 2 years. I set it up on a short tripod so it sits just over the top of my monitor. The only time I have to screw around with setup is when I take it down to shoot my kids for family Christmas card. Takes 5 minutes and then everything is back in place.
It never ceases to amaze me how much a bunch of so-called hackers can argue about something they've never even tried to do. Hours spent bickering back and forth about something that takes literally 5 minutes to test out.
Anyway, I use a fixed 50mm lens on my camera, which is a classic lens for portrait dimensions and gives me a very shallow depth of field to blur out the junk in the room behind me.
