With that answer you left the $60 video camera niche. More important than resolution is quality of color rendition across a broad range of lighting conditions. Cheap cams will show dark shadow areas and dim lighting with large swaths of blocks with little gradation. Bottom line , don't buy a no name camera without having handled one in your hand and seen its output on a screen the same size as you would use in presentations. Scan the offerings on Amazon, paying particular attention to the Q&A and reviews. This will give you a realistic feel for what is available within your budget and intended use. Bad video presentations can sink you even if what you're selling, idea or product, is sterling.

Well, as far as reviews, if they can be believed, are very high for the models I showed, but the audio is scorned. I could try the 55.00 Sunlea which supports recording while charging, and doubles as a web came, but does not support HDMI output. It supports TV output through AV cable.

I'm not going to comment too much, it looks like everyone's got you about covered. But,

If you need better audio, most cameras should have an audio input (XLR or mini-XLR) into which you can plug an external mic. I assume most of your consumer-grade cameras might have an input too. With a 25-50' XLR cable and a small hand mic (like a shure 58) or a wired lapel mic, that will give you better audio than just using the onboard audio.
