Good camcorder that can send video right to computer?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Title says it all. Doesn't have to be HD and the budget is unlimited. I need a camcorder that can send video to a PC like a webcam. Any other required peripherals can be purchased (like capture cards, etc). I don't meddle with A/V stuff too often so I'd appreciate the help of those who do on OCN in finding a camera like this

Any camcorder with a video capture card will do. Really. Connects the camera's AV out cables to the capture card, connect card to PC, and that's about it.

All you need is USB Video Audio Capture Card TV DVD Recorder Windows 7 and any, literally any camcorder.

If you cant makeup your mind about a camcorder, just walk into your local store and ask them for suggestions.

most camcorders can send your video through USB you dont need that cable anymore since you are planning to buy a new camera. although that cable might make it simpler
