| 336617 | 2005-03-22 00:16:00 | I have a Canon Powershot G2 digital camera and am wondering if I can use it as a web cam on Skype or other such programmes :( Any comments? |

Well, I did once connect both a Canon A70 and a Canon A85 to a Windows98 box and the computer showed live whatever the camera saw. So I suppose you will then need some software to translate this into webcam protocol, or whatever it is. I used the supplied USB cable, plus the supplied Canon software. |
