We have used a number of AVerVision 300AF in our Secondary School for the last two months and have found them an excellent addition to our Smart Boards which where installed in 2007.
The size makes it a highly portable solution and the great image quality, fast auto focus and zoom make it ideal for the classroom environment. It allows the teacher to react spontaneously to what is happening and also allows instant feedback and discussion to take place.
The software is very good and without a steep learning curve. We have also found the video recording function great for saving demonstrations (dissection / clay modelling etc)

Manufacturer's product description
The convergence of the latest visual technologies in the classroom is an undeniable value to new evolution of teaching. However, these technologies can at times prove difficult to use, and may be slow and overly complex. Combining the latest in visual technologies, with unbeatable ease-of-use, the AVerVision300AF was designed. The ability to display documents, 3-D objects, microscopic images and more through virtually any multimedia projector, monitor or TV greatly enhances the visual learning today's students best respond to. Yet, the ability to quickly and easily move through demonstration subject matter is essential to maintaining attention and increasing information retention. Beginning with an incomparably clear 3.2 mega pixel camera sensor, video is sharp and precise. The fast auto focus capabilities allow teachers to instantly focus on text, pictures or objects without time consuming focal adjustments, even when using the digital or AVERZOOM features. The high 24 fps frame rate projects video of moving objects significantly reducing blur or distortion. Annotation features allow teachers to easily add notes, create drawings, highlight important details, or even erase aspects of the live projected images directly from a PC or MAC. With the additional audio recording feature included in the new AVerVision software, teachers can now record video with narration of a live dissection or sculpting a clay pot. The mechanical arm design provides increased stability and ease-of-use with the ability to fold down into a compact configuration for easy transport and storage. The combination of high quality video and incredible ease-of-use makes the AVerVision300AF a true teacher's presentation tool.
