Robotic cameras?

I personally avoid the terminology 'robotic' cameras for most applications ...



Good idea.  I'm referring to low cost PTZ (PTZF) cameras.  
So far I'm looking at standard def (I think that still has meaning) cameras with some simple control mechanisms. I think one of my assumptions was that most church operations would be using real camera operators if using real broadcast level cameras. Obviously that's short sighted given the overwhelming use of robotics in talking head news type broadcasting these days.  Anyway, I'm intrigued by the Vaddio hd18 camera.  And at the price I was given I think it almost puts HD in reach for this installation (not that it's really necessary).   Has anybody used these? How about some other camera control and switching systems at this level?

I been installing Vaddio production View Super Joystick controller with Sony Wallview 70PTZ. A great camera system, easy to use...A 3-camera setup & controller is around $8K plus installation. I use this system in a composite mode, going to a VDA to send the video to the projector & LCD monitors thru out the church such as foyer, pastor's office, nursery, & fellowship hall....The HD verison cameras are around $4 to $7K each & the controller starts at $8K, a 3-HD camera system will be about $25K plus installation, I sell more Vaddio non HD than we do the HD model, in fact we are installing two Vaddio system this week & two more next week...
