Most people I talk to say that their HDD camera just shows up as a Hard Drive in their PC. (which is cool) but I also need a good camera for video conferencing where I can have control with zooming and panning.
On a side note, one thing I've found is that in order to use a camcorder as a webcam it must have USB Streaming capablities. But I have yet to find any, in fact most of the Hard Drive Cameras I've found are only the usb interface, so I thought all would support this sweet feature.
Ideally I would like the Camcorder to be at least 30gigs with good optics, long battery life, view finder (which is also hard to find with the HDD Cameras) and good night vision. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
According to the specs lists in the review for the JVC Everio GZ-MG505, it does support USB streaming -
You can download the owners manual here - http://books.jvcservice.com/booklist.asp?Model=GZ-MG505US to check if it can used as a webcam.
