Most compact, bridge and DSLR cameras can be used with free software in the sense that you can interface with them through USB and copy the photographies to a computer running free software. However, I don't know of any that you can use, also as a “webcam” with free software (that is, transfer the audio and video stream in real time). DSLRs usually use proprietary formats for raw images, but you can decode most of them with Dcraw and RawTherapee.

If you find something that meets your requirements let us know. Good luck.
