What point-and-shoot can directly capture to Windows?

[jdbartlett]

I am looking for a point-and-shoot model that will capture directly to a frame in my Windows application. Essentially, windows needs to see the camera as a USB camera or webcam. I cannot seem to identify a point-and-shoot model that will do this via USB.

Any ideas?

I don't know of one, but here is an alternative solution:

An Eye-Fi card. A regular size SD card, with WiFi circuitry built in. Take a picture, and it sends the image directly to a folder on the drive. I have 2 in two different cameras, and use them daily.

If you're looking for live video this won't work, but for static images it is seamless and easy.

Additionally, more and more cameras are coming with WiFi built in.
Canon Powershot
Samsung
Nikon S5200

There are others.
