doubt it, i think before the forums got erased somebody mentioned that it was impossible for that to work. even though the ms import can be sustained as an open connection, something about the usage of a webcam just couldn't happen.

i personally have no idea whether or not it would work, but that seems to be the general opinion of the community

What about using the camera through the wifi that would make it a better webcam.

I believe the NZ90 can do that through it's cradle now.

Can it? What software do you need for it to work?

Can someone with an NZ confirm this?

Maybe I should clarify my statement.

It is my understanding that the NZ has Video and Audio have outputs in the cradle now, I don't think it's available through the USB port yet.

right...something else I'd like to have is a "video out" controller for my nx...a hardware attachment...now that we can make videos, it'd be great to show them on a tv...not that I expect one to come out. I think I'll post the idea in accessories though...maybe someone will make it!
