I could of sworn someone said you could use a software hack to make your A95 into a web cam.

Does anyone know how?

Iv heard of people useing software that turns what ever is on your screen into a video feed.
They then set up live capture which gives a live preview from the camera.
There is a live feed comeing from the camera, (at least there was on my old A40) if you had the software knowledge you could write a piece of software that turned that feed into something you could broadcast as a webcam.



So long and thanks for all the flash

Godzilla - Why don't you buy a webcam? It's much cheaper and easyer to use.
If you want to use your A95 you will need a powersupply for your camera or
you have to change and/or charge your batterie's every time. So you will spend
alot of time and money in charging and changing your batteries.
Even if it would work how about the sound when using your cam as webcam?
To avoid all these problems and costs IMHO it's better to buy a webcam.

Good luck.
