    Plug it into a USB port, and your computer should recognize it as a web cam.

    have you tried to use the digital camera as a webcam yet wch1262?

    I'm curious as to if it worked or not. And I'm also wondering if it would would with an older video camera with a USB connection.

    Anyone know?

    Why not just buy a webcam?

    It depends on what "camera" you have. http://www.orangeware.com/

    Not me, I have no need for a webcam, but if I did, they are inexpensive, and I would get one.

    I use my video camera, for what it was intended. :wink:
