Re: Nikon Coolpix 2500 and tethering to a computer

I didn't realize that this was a game of semantics. If your Kodak DC5000 can be used as a webcam then it can do 'movies'. Just because you don't know how to set that up, doesn't mean that its not possible.

my Kodak DC5000 does not "do movies" yet can be used as a webcam and
does a very good job, as does my Sony trv525, which should be expected.
I have no idea why my kodak does what it does, but I'm not unhappy
about it having an undocumented feature. ;-)

Some still picture cameras that take quick time movies will have a webcam option. (fuji 3800)

Yes, i'm aware of that, however not all do, and unless the camera can also do movies, you can't use webcam software for it.
