Hi Canon,
I think I can pretty much guess that your response will be "go out and buy a webcam." I just want to make sure though. I recently bought one of the latest Digital Cameras - the 4.0 megapixel Powershot S400.
Is this camera NOT able to function as a webcam? If so -- why??? I am sort of confused. If $100 webcams can function as digital cameras - then why can't $500 digital cameras function as webcams? Furthermore, the Powershot S400 has the "Video" mode. Isn't this different than if it were just taking several shots a minute?
It seems as if Canon does everything else - why not make a Digital Camera that suffices as a web cam? Seems easy enough! :P
