This may have changed, Bukit. SONY does have a tutorial for using some of their models as a webcam, but my question is, with battery issues, why would you?

James you are right but partially. You still need a analog to digital capture hardware in addition to the camera. Unless you have one, for the price of that it is better suited and easier to buy a low-grade webcam.
