What are good cameras for live-view mode, and are there any good cameras that can work over wifi?
I have used my Android phone (Galaxy S3) with the VDJ camera plugin, and while it works, the picture quality is poor. Also, the lag is quite annoying.
I know there are some other threads on this issue, but they are all fairly dated.

you can use a USB web-cam too, but the problem i have is that in most venues there is very poor lighting and many cameras dont handle this very well.

No matter what camera you use, if you bring it through Windows, there will be latency.
Went to a video mixer for that exact reason.
Web cams are a joke, but if you want to get as close to that as possible use a Sony D70

I use my Canon t3i DSLR and just feed it directly to the screen, somewhat expensive solution but you get full control of the exposure and the kit 18-55mm lens zooms in close enough for small - medium gigs, the 55-250mm lens works better for larger gigs.

Timmy-
Can you explain more how you are using the T3i? Are you not using the VDJ camera plugin?
Will only the T3i and T4i work for live view. I have an original rebel, and a T2i. I can't seem to get either to work with VDJ.

I'm not running it into VDJ at all, instead I go direct from the t3i's hdmi to my 42" tv. The t2i has a video mode, I recommend using an ac adapter for it so you don't have to worry about battery. The t3i and t2i video modes are stunning IMO, I use magic lantern features as well to get a good exposure faster;^]
