camera capture - notes in a slide show

[Karelk]

Hello All,

At conference presentations, I often take pictures of the slides and
make notes on an paper notepad. I would like to go digital using
OneNote on a TabletPC. OneNote has an option "Insert -> Picture -> from
Camera or Scanner", I would like to use the Camera option to directly
insert pictures from the camera (without making a picture using the
camera, manually downloading the picture, inserting it in OneNote).

Has anyone experience using this feature? Which camera could I use? 3
MP should be OK.
Could I use a (high resolution) webcam as well?

Many thanks!
Greetings,
Karel

Aloha Karelk,

I've never tried it with a webcam but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't
work. You have to connect the camera to the PC (obviously) to obtain the
pictures anyhow so it's really just a shortcut to download pics from the
camera.

Works fine.

Hi All,

I've installed a simple old logitech webcam (for testing purposes),
and this works perfectly! In OneNote, one can directly import the
picture and start writing on and around it. I'll have to buy a newer
high-res webcam, then is going to work for me.
