RE: using a digital camera as a webcam
You need a digital camera that supports webcam mode, because they need to keep streaming the video through the USB cable, so... it depends in the camera. Im using one right now .

RE: using a digital camera as a webcam
if it works on the preview thing then you can still use it... what you might need is a third party software to read the stream from your camera and then tell msn messenger to read from the sofware as opposed to the camera... i'll look for some software for you and post again.

RE: using a digital camera as a webcam
OK look to turn ur cam into webcam, 1st it's depends if the cam support that, such as a friends said above!, then you should make sure you have the driver installed, coz as u know if you only use your D. cam to upload photos to your pc, it doesn't need a driver, coz at this case it will be as a Storage Device.
So you should go to Options or Settings in your cam,and change the camera settings, from Storage Device into Web Cam or called Remote Cam.
So when u do this, and u have the driver, just plug the cam and turn it. and the pc will consider it as a Web Cam
Regards

RE: using a digital camera as a webcam
It's a webcam issue if it turns itself off when connected
