Hi,
I have, as I suspect many of you have as well, a number of older DSLR or point and shoot cameras which get little use. I wondered if there was a way to use some of this older but working hardware for new purposes. What I had in mind was to connect a DSLR with a wide angle lens and use that as a webcam. So I checked Magic Lantern and there seemed to be no mention of their software enabling that type of usage. A similar broader web search came up with little as well. I recall some early point and shoot digital cameras could be used in this way, but none recently.
Has anyone done this or knows of a DSLR or point and shoot being used in this way? If so how?
