I am a spine surgeon who has been chasing this concept for years. Head mounted=the erratic movement described above, and nobody has a lipstick camera with 1080i resolution for true high definition. Best is a HD videocam mounted on a tripod-type clamp, clamped to overhead surgical light. Have a remote control handy. If you want the headcam, get a Sony lipstick from datatoys.com, and input to your laptop using the Apple translation product (converts video from any source so goes into iMovie).

Thanks. Great help.
Checked out this model on the web. It appears to be what I am looking for recording open surgery. Is it head mounted or on a clamp in the OR light ?
No costs are mentioned online. How much does it cost?
As a surgeon in a charitable hospital in India, cost is important for me.

The sony HXR- MC 1 appears similar on the surface, it might, however, have a wider field of view making it less ideal for surgical videos.
I have no hands on experience with this model.

I have just tried the panasonic Caméra AG-MDC10
It gave me the best videos I have never seen of my surgical procedures.
