Hi --
...
we're using camcorders (Sony TR6's at $800 a pop) for this purpose.

Joe,

in the hope that you will post or email out the info you gather to
respondees, I'll tell you what I currently intend to buy for the same
job.
I am looking at Panasonic's CCD colour cameras WV-CL310/312/314. They
are
PAL output but I suspect that Panasonic does retail NTSC. The cameras
are
sold at ~ 520. and wide auto iris lenses retail from  115. These
prices may
seem high to you - me too. So If you get info on cheapo items do let
me
know. I would much rather save money on the cameras and more on the
video
digitising hardware!!

Joe,
At this year's Siggraph I noticed a tiny circuit-board camera by
Phillips.
I think it was only B&W though. No pricing.  Perfect for workstations
and
teleconferencing applications.
