HI!

My Dad want to buy a digital camera under the budget of RS 10000. The camera should have good battery life and would be mainly used for capturing the images of huge Iron & Steel Fabricated godowns etc which his company make and sometimes in small family function.

Though all VFM products are accepted but SONY would be given priority as he is a big fan of the brand. He on't buy KODAK at any cost due to previous experiences.

yes .. we can, but you need 1. third party software to make this happen and 2. yor cam should support remote shooting. i am not able to recall the name but you can find it thru google using "how to use digital camera as a web cam" :mrgreen:

Another question I am getting SONY DSC H55 at Rs 10250 at ebay. Is there any other place at price lower than this??? Also at ebay I am not getting bundled memory so shall i get 8GB memory or 16 GB as i have heard 16GB may cause problem with H55. Please reply ASAP.

Ordered H55 at ZOOMIN.COM and got the best DEAL

+1 I think phone cams can be used as a webcam.

yes u can use phone cams as webcam but ultimately ur phone battery will dry off...its always better to even buy a Rs.400 cheap webcam then using a 10k phone or camera for that purpose
