Hi,What is your operating system...PC window or Mac? I am looking for a camera that will work as a webcam also and it seems that Fujis are ones mentioned, but have not found any info on which cameras or how to hook up. I see no one replied to your posting, but wondered if you ever got the S700 to work as a webcam as i am very interested in this camera...thanks

I had an old FinePix 2650 that worked as a webcam. The drivers provided by fuji for that feature however were incredibly unstable, and caused my computer to bluescreen about half the time I turned the camera on. That could be why the newer models such as the S700 which I now own do not come with that feature.

I have this and I do not use it much. From what I can tell just the basic web cam works, no other features work. What I have come to realize is the only Mac that does not come with a web cam built in is the mini (which is what I have), so not many companies produce a web cam that is compatible. This was one of two I found that are supposed to work with Mac, I don't remember what the other one is but i tried that one first and it did not work. I don't know if this helps, sorry if it doesn't.

I had bought this webcam but the mic was not working so I returned it back and bought MicroSoft Livecam vx-7000. It works excellent!

the other issue to notice is that the webcam is not compatible with OSX. I made the mistake of not checking that until it was too late. I'm not a computer expert, but with so many products compatible for both windows and OSX, how does a company like ASUS overlook this need? Crazy.

Sorry Blake, I'm totally disgusted with Foscam cameras and software in general. I spent a great deal of money on cameras and software and I'm still not able to use the purchased items. No support, in spite of many phone calls to the support phone help. No answer when calling support. I would not recommend Foscam to anyone. I lost, Foscam gained.

The webcam is made by a company out of US which doesn't provide common model as US webcam do. But we are authorized by Webcam to sell this product. Please don't worry. Your support will be appreciated.

Hi Thanh V, no it can't be used as a webcam. The camera does not have the capability to stream via USB. Thanks_Mitch

Hi effie, no, it can't be used as a webcam. The camcorder does not have the live streaming feature which would enable live streaming online. Thanks_Mitch

Roger... The image quality on this is probably the best you can buy for a web cam. If you don't mind spending extra, just get the retail box model with the CDs and whatnot. There other plug and play items out there from Microsoft which will take all the guesswork out of getting a webcam going... just sacrificing a SMALL amount of image quality.

The Webcam has micro included, if it is supported by the OS (and it should), no problem with that :)

Is there any issue with using this web cam and the built-in microphone on my laptop? Hope not, it sounds like this is a suprisingly good product.

The 2 1010 round cams I have disconnect also, My problam is the 1010n cams now will not connect to internet wifi had to run lan line to each, the other 1011n cams I have work fine. You can try calling samsung support line . I called twice, first guy actually tried to help me . But the second guy was a waste of my time,, he just said the cam was bad and pretty much tough luck. Maybe they coukd help, sorry I wasn't able.

Anthony: I used to have a JVC Everio, the first model out some years back. I loved the size of the thing, and it took great still pics. The only thing I didn't like was the .MOD file extensions for the videos. It was, quite frankly, a pain in the butt trying to deal with the vids. I ended up selling it. I don't know if they corrected that .MOD nonsense, but somehow I don't believe so. Go with the SONY (my opinion). Congrats on the baby :-) Mike

There is a built-in Web Cam and Mike. Works as well as any of the three I have used.

A. Leetham,Thanks for the info, it was very helpful. Based on your informative review of the C7000, I've decided to hold off on purchasing the C7000 until I read your review of the C8000, and until I have a chance to see it in person. Plus, I want to take advantage of the free 3D Starter Kit that Samsung is supposed to be offering soon.By chance, do you know when the C8000 will be available for purchase?Thanks!

For a simple web cam it works fine but I haven't been able to get any of the other functions like night vision or the zoom to work. No software comes with it and the company that made them doesn't have them listed on their website either so I have no idea where or how to get the proper drivers for it.

Not sure of your question, but as long as I've been in business I've never seen a webcam that can't be used for the purposes you described although I want to be sure I know what "access the webcam for home photos and videos" means to you.
