Hi everyone.
I would like to develope a software that controls a digital camera (somehow connected to the computer). Does anyone know where I can get further information on this subject? Which camera (or webcam) would be the best choice?

There are a couple of programs that do this... RemoteCapture (bundled with many Canon cameras) and one by BreezeSytems. Might take a look to see how these work as a starting point for your project.
