Allan, I routinely use my digital still camera for this purpose. As a side benefit you can keep the images for use on a web page or to document your work. This type of application is deceptively demanding, requiring a certain flexibility with lenses, flash and so-on. My first cheap camera was not at all suitable. I have since bought and sold four cameras until I was satisfied. Drop me a private note if you need more help. Mark Story.

Gilreath, RPT Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2001 5:54 AM To: Pianotech Listserver Subject: digital cameras List, Is anyone else out there using a small, inexpensive digital camera hooked up to the notebook computer to record information on a piano that is being inspected or rebuilt? Also, is anyone else using it to observe portions of the piano that can't be easily seen (like a Doctor uses a laparoscope)? Thanks, Allan Allan L.
