On TechTV they showed a company, AuctionDrop, which used a camera on a
tripod and the image of the camera was displayed on the Computer
Monitor in a Window on the screen. They were able to manipulate the
picture (size/position/name) right there and take the picture on
screen. They were nice clear pictures.

Does anyone know of software/cameras which will work this way?

Thanks.

At least some of the Olympus cameras can be controlled through the Camedia
software.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

The Remote Capture software that comes with most Canon digicams, (the
powershot range - i.e the Gx-series, Ax0- and Ax00-series and surely
the Ixus range as well?) will do that provided you have a Canon
digicam, ofcource. It will also output to a tv.

The review of Canon A70 over at <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.megapixel.net" target="_blank">www.megapixel.net</a> includes
screenshots and a short explaination of the program.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Hi george. I tried this with my Kodac but the thing timed out real
fast....I wonder how many new digital cameras DON"T time out.

Yup,found it, Thanks. I automatically thought of my Sony Camcorder where
the only way I know of is to remove the tape.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
