I'm trying to put together a list of cameras that work with Helium Frog.
Could you let me know what cameras work with the software, webcams and particularly any prosumer digital ones.
Thanks.
Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000
Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000 also.
Could you please make it compatible with Canon EOS 1000D 
It's a Digital Single Lence Reflex camera... (DSLR)
Oooh DSLR...
Hehehehe.... [/childlike evil laugh]

I own one of these also, so it will be the first to be looked at in future. You can use the analog output to get video out, but it gives you the back lcd view with all the icons on and the quality is a bit poor.
You could always use video assist using a webcam.
I use an easy cap card to capture the live output (they cost about £12) . There is also some information in the Helium Frog documentation on how you can remote control the shutter using a macro. The download even has a macro developed for this camera which works well with the canon software. Full live view support is something I would like to do and I have the SDK from canon, but it really is a lot of work and I have other things that need fixing in the program first.
Its quite good fun triggering the canon EOS 1000D remotely for time lapse animations. I would like to do one of a car journey like this one:-

I added a link to this on the FSL.
i have an nstc canon elura 100
Life cam cinama webcam
Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 HD
Logitech Lifecam HD-5000 and HD-5001 (i have 5001, the only difference is the appearance and best buy exclusive) costs 50 bucks at future shop, at the time it costed me 60 at best buy. I guess buying it at best buy really wasn't the best buy 
Microsoft Lifecam Cinema and Studio.
And Logitech QC E3500.
I know this is an old topic to bump, but still useful.
Logitech HD Pro C910
I think if this were to be useful at all a new topic dedicated to Helium Frog would be in order with compatable cameras, compatability, errors and how to fix them etc.
I'm aware this thread was originally started by Martin Price the program's creator but I think it would be good if an active forum member ran one instead.
Yeah, seems like we just need a new one. I guess I'll start it. If this post is on the grounds of being closed, then do so.
