vid = videoinput('winvideo',2);
set(vid, 'FramesPerTrigger', Inf);
set(vid, 'ReturnedColorspace', 'rgb');

You are not saving the individual images.

One easy way is to use a cell array:

for i=1:10
    data{i} = snapshot(vid);
    figure(i);
    imshow(data{i});
end

I do not have the Image Acquisition Toolbox, only the Support Package for USB Webcams. This loop worked for me with it.

My pleasure.

See the Image Processing Toolbox immovie (link) function for one approach. Also see the links in and at the end of the page for that documentation.
