Yes, that's definitely true. We're using a standalone dictaphone with a
lapel mic, and the results are great.

Depends on what you aim for. Two cameras will definitely give you more
options, but you'll need to spend a tremendous amount of time on that.
That's why we're happy with one camera, because in that case the
postproduction is really simple (just cut the ends, put there the audio,
encode, publish).
