Hi all

I have a Canon digital Ixus 40 and Iwas wondering if I could use this as a webcam. I spent a lot on it and figure that I shoudn't ahve to buy a cheap webcam as well.

Any Thoughts

Thanks

Buy the webcam. They are really cheap, have drivers that work with video conference software and are designed to be used that way. The digital still camera isn't designed as a video camera.
