    Hey all,

    I was wondering if its possible to use a digital camera as a webcam? If not, which webcam would you recommend for a notebook? It will mostly used on MSN or Skype

    Also how does, integrated webcam on notebook compare to webcam you buy separately?

    I hope that was not too much question...

    I dont think all digicams can work as webcams.

    Logitech, Microsoft and Creative are the leading makers of webcams. I would recommend a Logitech webcam, such as the Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks. You can find the link in my signature.

    An external webcam offers superior images and video than a built in webcam, imho.
