how do i use my camera as a webcam?

i have a JVC DV camera, a coolpix L19/L20 digital camera, and an Olympus FE-310. can i use any of those as a web cam? the JVC DV camera has to be connected to a firewire hub connected to the USB port to be connected to the computer.

do i need any software?

please do not make answers complicated!

You can't do it easily, unless "can be used as a USB webcam" is one of the features of the camera.

Easiest solution if you want a webcam, is just to buy an actual webcam.

I want a compact digital camera. How do I choose in regards to lens quality, CCD quality, etc?

Main factors:
Lens Quality
Brand
Good CCD/CMOS
Low Purple Fringing
Low noise at high ISO

This is a very difficult question to answer, although after reading digital camera tech's answers, I would think twice about Sony and I would add reputation for good customer service to the list of how to choose a camera.

The only way for an individual to know the answer to most of these questions is to read reviews at several sites and ask friends. Many review sites have sample images that you can look at, including ISO tests. It's a good thing that you know about purple fringing as this is the evil among lower price digital cameras.

Some random thoughts...

Lens quality - You'll have to trust the reviews and start with the known brands. Nikon and Canon make good lenses. Schneider and Leitz are good lenses that are used on Kodak, Panasonic and Leica cameras.

Brand - The same names come up. Nikon, Canon, (even) Kodak, Olympus... I'd like to include Pentax, but it doesn't seem their film expertise has transferred over to digital yet, as they are quite conservative.

CCD/CMOS - Most are made by Sony. CMOS is Canon's. One thing that you CAN do is look for the sensor size. They are measured in a very arcane manner and their size is expressed in terms of inverse numbers. The larger the number on the bottom, the smaller the sensor. In point and shoot cameras, look for a 1/1.8 size as opposed to the more common 1/2.5. In general, a larger sensor will give better images.

Fringing and ISO noise - See reviews of the cameras that you are interested in after looking them over based on the first three items.

Can I use my Olympus C-5060 digital camera as a webcam?

I have a 5.1 megapixel Olympus C-5060 digital camera and the USB cable to connect it to my computer. Is there any way that I can use the camera as a webcam for Skype?

Yes, but you will need a special cable with video capture software. I've used the EasyCAP cable, available at Amazon for around $20. Here is a link:

I have no affiliation with EasyCAP, but have used it successfully on my Canon digital camera for a webcam on my Vonei Meeting video conferencing service. The quality of the image blows away traditional webcams.

What type of laptop woul dbe the best?

i like editing pictures and videos... One that have cd/dvd burner...built in camera and mic would be really great... AND IT CANT BE A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY PLEASE!!!!!!1

no mac book airs.. THOSE SUCK..thats the way i feel please dont post a comment about it..
NO convetable notebooks have it and hate it...same for this its the way i feel about it.

well if u are looking for a laptop best for movies n pics then u must go for a HP dv5z

u must get a ZM-80 processor which is able to process high-definiton content n upget free upgrades of RAM n hard disk do not install a 56k modem as its useless coz everyone uses broadband now also the

dv5z has ati radeon hd 3200 integrated graphics that would be sufficient for ur use

do get an integrated bluetooth with WLANb/g

the overll configuration will cost u around 800$+ whatever u buy in software
