Default Inspection camera

Hello everbod. I am scouting around for a camera that will be able to take stilss and possibly even vids of the inside of a guitar. I understand that there are devices that attach to a USB port and can view onscreen and even save the image/movie to disk. Anyone know of these? Brand/models etc..

Much appreciated - Ed

Not 100% sure, but could a small webcam work? If it could focus close?

We just bought a webcam for a relative and it was a Logictech. Microsoft also makes some. They run about 30 to 60 bucks at Target depending on features.

A tiny video camera with still capability. As long as it sports an Audio /Video jack
you could watch it on tv.

I saw something like that at Home Depot. I'm not sure about the cost however.

Here are the ones I know about:

I had the Flexcam years ago but I would think you would want a smaller camera. You can see it about halfway down this page:

Unfortunately, I don't know of any high definition versions that are capable of acceptable quality stills. (The IDcam shown immediately below the Flexcam is intended for stills as well as video but at 480 lines may not have the resolution you want.)

This one is the smallest I've come across with built-in illumination:
