But it installs a VideoForWindows still image grabber, and a VFW streaming 
video grabber driver. Then, using for example some 
upload-my-webcam-shots-to-an-FTP-site thing you can tell it to take a shot 
and upload it, OR, stream video for teleconferencing stuff.

I remember reading (in the Agfa docs or FAQ) that it can take pictures 
interactively, just not with using a flash because USB does not have enough 
power to charge the flash.

It was also one of the reasons this camera was a good deal for the price, it 
takes pictures on compactflash (unlimited standard storage), it can take high 
quality pics interactively (webcam) and even stream video :-)

Let's implement ALL of this in our driver(s) ! :-)
