"It depends".
Does the camera have a USB connector? Usually recent Sony camcorders have Firewire/IEEE1394. Failing that, you can plug the video output into a 30 quid TV tuner card.

I've been using a trial (20 min session limit) of Orange software's WevCamDV with MSN. Took a while to get the audio to work; picture quality is great
