Which cams have streaming ability?

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

Just got my Canon A85 a few days ago. The software has a feature which
allows remote shooting from the PC. It shows the current image seen by the
camera on the PC screen, I would presume that it would not be a big stretch
to go from there to streaming.

Good luck. It would make a fine webcam. I currently use my old analog video
camera and my Canopus ADVC-100 A/D converter for the purpose. The ADVC-100
does flawless analog to digital conversion, also does the reverse
flawlessly. Zero dropped frames.

I wouldn't limit my choice of digicams to avoid buying a $30 web cam.
Besides, you'll have to buy a $60 AC adaptor to get streaming video from
the digicam without running the batteries down in a hurry.
