We just aquired the above mentioned camera. Out of curiosity I searched all over the available literature in the box and online. Nowhere does it allude to that capability.

The reason I am asking is that about 5 years ago My sister gave me a cheapie vivicam 10 digital that cost all of 39.00 dollars. It has a webcam feature. and works fairly well.

I figure a camera that I paid almost 10 times the price for should have that as well.

NOT that I am disappointed with the camera at all.

Just curious, does it have that capability or is the technology somehow different?
