Anyway to do this with the S95? Am I missing something. Or is this not a feature?!

I wish there were a way to use mine as a webcam that would work for both Mac and PC with IM software like Skype and AIM etc.! That would be TOO cool!

I know. Would be so nice. Especially with the HD capability. I would love to capture video in real time straight to the hard drive.

I think its actually kinda stupid that they havent implemented such a feature. Should have been done a LONG time ago!

That's what I'm saying. I mean, the S95 has the blink and smile recognition, but not a live view through USB? Come on guys. There's at least 10 "toys" that I would gladly trade for live view.

Yea not to mention being that a point and shoot is a totally stand alone device, theyd solve the problem Macs have with webcams! I would FINALLY have a webcam that is fully functional with both my PCs and Macs! Sounds silly and like something that should def already exist, but yea, not so.
