Apparently this is a hard critter to track down...

I am working on a project where I want to have a reasonably capable
digital camera that will also function while tethered to a laptop. I
believe this would in effect make it a 'webcam'. I've tried this with a
half dozen cameras so far and they each shut down the camera functions
once you connect them to the computer.

I want to be able to capture images either by user clicking the cameras
buttons i.e. via a camera interface, and it would be nice to have Twain
and WIA driver support as well so I can go fetch the images via
programmatic control if I choose.

Does anyone know of such a thing?

I've got a cheesy old eyeball webcam that does this, but of course it
takes crappy pictures...

Calls to local camera shops and they think I'm kinda nuts...
