what camera?

[Linea Recta]

I'm interested in a reasonably good digital camera (2 megapixel). Are there
models in this segment which can also act as webcam?

- Windows 2000
- USB & Firewire ports

Fuji's are good and can act as a webcam. Not sure if it's usb or
firewire, or just what.

ive had 2 fuji cameras......
lucky for me i have a normal battery recharger as these cameras eat
batteries....

they only work as a webcam using the cameras battery power...so dont expect
a long life using it that way....

and the quality of the webcam image is not that good either....

i would suggest buying a pc cam.. from creative....

the better model you get the better the quality will be... and the
batteries last longer than a second or two...

i had a pc cam 300 .. and when i come to replace the fuji im using now...
ill get the 800 from pc cam..

Why would Fuji do that? Using batteries for a webcam through USB? I thought
USB devices got power through USB... So you can't use the webcam option for
extended time...?

I'm hoping to get a USB powered webcam.
BTW, I noticed some models have a built in microphone. Where does this
connect? An extra connection of the soundcard?

I suppose it's better to get a seperate digital camera then...

yeah i wasnt impressed with the camera using its own power for usb use.....

my niece bought a newer fuji model than i have and it was the same....

so i dont recommend them...

i still rate the pc cam from creative.....the quality on the webcam side
cannot be beaten in my opinion...

good luck

regards slayer

Pentax Optio line batteries last about a week or more with regular usage per
charge. I have owned 3 other models previously. Awesome camera except now I
want VGA movies too.
