Q. I need some spy glasses that record video and audio.
Right now I am having problems finding some that record more than 2 hours. I need at least 8, but the longer the better. I don't care If i have to change batteries. I just cant plug it in every 2 hours and let it charge.
I found some that go off a DVR but I can not figure out how that works. Do the glasses plug into them? Do they last longer? Can you change batteries in that.

A. You probably want a set of glasses that have batteries but don't actually record ( saving power).. but transmit wirelessly to a nearby DVR ( just records the signal from glasses.. like a walkman or cell phone in your pocket. just a separate device to record - DVR= digital video recorder)
Better yet, if you can manage it, get something not in glasses, as they can be obvious. Only the really good glasses look like "normal" glasses. Many of the cheaper ones look a little "off" and could raise suspicion.
There are many examples of tiny microphones and 'button cams', that look like part of your clothing, or part of a bookbag / knapsack/ briefcase/ purse, coat, belt, etc.
Then you can wire all the devices together, and use a good battery to power all of it.
Electronics like these can have a very high failure rate, so stick with big names ( sony, panasonic, LG, Canon).. OR deal with a very trusted vendor who will allow full refund returns or exchanges for at least 3 months. The big names fail a lot less often, and will honor a warranty. Local or online vendors that know they may have to give you a full refund will be less likely to sell you garbage. .. STILL, test these things out at least a few times before it counts. Get the idea of angles , focus / distance, sound echoes, record time, battery time.. and differences from different temps, wind, rain, indoor/outdoor with background noise like pc fans, indoor wi-fi and radio interference, air conditioners or heaters ( em and noise).
Make sure you have expandable memory - usually SD cards, or micro SD cards. Hard disks are bulky, and the shock-resistant ones (or don't move at all)...are expensive.
If you control the environment, then you can avoid a lot of trouble and have a fixed-position computer or DVR device with direct power. No worries about extra memory or changes in the environment.
For example only.. this seems to be a pretty good button cam with HD resolution; but the seller has very limited return/refund policies

Another interesting set of good-looking spy glasses, but read the review for shortcomings.. and no, the batteries aren't changeable. Either you need to cut and hack a bit to modify the unit making the batteries 'replaceable', or buy multiple devices, one for each 2-hour window.

Most places that really do this professionally will put their own gear together, or import it directly from SE Asia. Buying the parts and making it work is a lot cheaper than buying a kit. If you have the know-how, you can also re-use the parts in another form later, and fix anything that goes bad, rather than trashing or returning the whole device.

Is the Panasonic DMC-GF3Kdigital camera?
Q. A good camera for the 4/3 compact digital camera, for casual use or should I consider the Sony NEX-6L/B be a better choice for someone who only takes photos occasionally. an the accessories for a camera such as this, for this type of use, or something better on the market in 2013.
A. It doesn't matter if you takes pictures occasionally or all the time. All cameras have the ability to take good pictures. It's the user's responsibility to make the pictures look good. That depends a lot on his ability.
Both Panasonic and Sony make good cameras. You shouldn't have any problem with any. If you are most concerned about portability, look at the Pentax Q system. It's enough to fit in your hand and still maintain an interchangeable lens system. Pentax, if you're not familiar with it, has very good optical quality.
