We went strawberry picking today and then poked around the farmer's market, looking at everything for sale. Here's a link to a video I made using the webcam in my N800:

I recorded the video using Nokia's Camera app, version 2.7. [1] I made 6 short videos and picked this one because it was made indoors and has some really difficult things to image.
As you can see, the video is webcam-quality. I had to convert it (using mediaconverter (https://garage.maemo.org/projects/mediaconverter/)) before I could get the video to play on my PC or in Media Player, so this the quality differs slightly from what I saw when I played it from the Camera gallery. The sound playback is better in Media Player than in Camera. This isn't from the conversion, because the pre-conversion sound is better on the PC too.
You should be able to just stream the video, without having to download it.
