We went strawberry picking today and then poked around the farmer's market, looking at everything for sale. Here's a link to a video I made using the webcam in my N800:

I recorded the video using Nokia's Camera app, version 2.7. [1] I made 6 short videos and picked this one because it was made indoors and has some really difficult things to image.

As you can see, the video is webcam-quality. I had to convert it (using mediaconverter) before I could get the video to play on my PC or in Media Player, so this the quality differs slightly from what I saw when I played it from the Camera gallery. The sound playback is better in Media Player than in Camera. This isn't from the conversion, because the pre-conversion sound is better on the PC too.

You should be able to just stream the video, without having to download it.

[1] ITT readers sondjata, SeRi@lDiE and brendan responded to my webcam post by pointing out that Camera 2.7, available at garage.maemo.org, already does record video to the memory cards, so one of my three "I want"s is already available.
