Hi I want to build a photographic platform to replace a scanner. A camera will be located above a surface where documents are placed. There will be good lighting. The camera snaps the picture and transfers it to a computer. USB protocol is fine. -- Camera needs no multiple picture storage -- Camera needs no rechargeable batteries -- Camera needs no view finder ( okay if it has one ) I am aware of a camera protocol named PTP that I hope to use. http://jphoto.sourceforge.net/?selected=ptp Thanks AGSC -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
