We just got two of these per grade level here at ISB - we've been using them for Readers Workshop as a read-aloud and instructional tool. It's amazing to see how much more engaged the students are when they can all clearly see the pages!
My only problem with the document camera is that the teacher now stands next to the table with the camera to point to things, turn the page, write things down, etc - instead of sitting with the students. When they go wireless they'll be even more amazing!
