Another good idea, esp. since using a vidcam usually takes firewire
while a lot of still cams do fine with USB, even in movie mode.
I have an old Nikon Coolpix I once got to work as a webcam with a Linux
USB webcam driver. I don't think sound came through, and I didn't need
to do live webcamming (and still don't), so I dropped

don't remember the software I used, because I did this at least four
years ago...
http://www.linux.com/feature/118896 = a recent article on this topic,
with some "what worked for me" user comments that might help you with
webcam selection.
