The digital camera is here and boy is there a choice. I have purchased the Casio 100 which is the new model just out which you should check out for the low end machine. I have used it for close ups of printed boards 4" x 6" full frame and then printed it out on a A3 color printer which would be perfectly good for your application. Try it out. Your boss will like it as its only L450. Bob Willis Process Engineering Consultant Electronic Presentation Services 2 Fourth Avenue, Chelmsford, Essex CM1 4HA. England.
