I got a little web cam (logitech) and tried to connect it and use its picture stream. Is it possible to use 'quicktime for java' (sgcapture) from within proce55ing environment?

not yet, but definitely soon.
we're mulling over how to best include external libraries like qtjava and other random .jar files you find on the net. i think we've got a reasonable plan so we'll try to have it in there sometime soon.

From memory, Java has internal methods of getting picturestreams from cameras. Unfortunately, it's bog-slow to get pixel data out (but can scale+display 25fps full-screen video on modest win machines).
A quick and dirty interim solution is to get a video/webcam image server that connects to the cam and serves gif/jpg images on http request, then all you have to do is a LoadImage('http://localhost:port/'); - you can get about 10fps at 200x200 this way.

The webcam server solution is a really good idea.
