i want to create an animation using sequential shooting capability of my digital camera. The camera can take only 5 pics max before it has to stop to start recording the pics onto the memory card. I was wondering whetehr anyone knows of a software that would allow me to shoot and record directly ont oteh computer.

What model are you using?
You would need to step down in image quality when shooting, especially if your camera only supports usb/usb2 and not firewire (which I assume is the case)

Olympus E20

Not sure about Olympus here... but I guess generally if no remote capture software comes bundled with the camera it's not supported by the cam.
Try browsing around their site, maybe they have an update, or some universal software that supports all their camera.
Otherwise maybe try to get the fastest memory card you can find, and set the image quality as low as you can without comprimising the format you need for your movie.
Well, my 2 cents anyway. Hope it helps.

Sweet. Which cameras are that app compitable with? How much control do you get over your camera settings?

theres a list of compatible cameras on the site and a way to test your camera before you buy it... you can also use most firewire dv cameras.

there's got to be something similar for PC...

you will need to have at least firewire or USB 2 connection. I had to buy an extra app that is specific to my fuji
